Week 10
from the 1st of December to the 7th of December
Topic of the week is DISABILITY
Саме цю тему я обрала, оскільки 3 грудня по всьому світі будуть відзначати
Let's watch a video and learn some new words. - Знаю, вивчити слова, які стосуються даної теми не зовсім легко, тому знову створимо віртуальний словник:
1. Задання 1 в Edmodo - написати 12 будь-яких слів англійською мовою з перекладом, які стосуються теми Disability.
Ще три особливих слова.
Спробуйте розібратися з різним значенням цих трьох слів.
Заохочую ВАС вписувати нові слова, вирази та речення до віртуальног словника цього тижня.
disability, handicap, impairment

Чесно кажучи, я не знаю, як назвати одним українським словом людей з обмеженими можливостями. В англійській легше - disable.
