Welcome to our forum, @Leonika. It’s great to have you here. I’m in Cape Town. Have a great evening! Take care, Andrea

Torsten · February 7, 2020, 11:07pm

Hello my dear content creators, does anyone want to turn the following into a reading comprehension exercise?

Tamar · February 8, 2020, 6:32am

@Torsten I’m okay to write any length of text. I just wanted to make sure my word count was around the same as the rest of the articles. @Natalia_Polteva Thanks! I found these topics really interesting as well. I think they can be turned into engaging articles so I’m excited to see how they turn out!

Hello everyone, I’ve just uploaded @tim_m 's How Blockchain and Tokenization Could Be Used as a Debt Instrument | english.best and I’m excited by the idea of replacing tradiaitonal loan instruments with blockchain based tokenization systems. @Sumejja, what do you say about this topic?

I have also added the other 9 texts Tim has written as part of our Blockchain and tokenization to fight inequality project and am certain a lot of people will greatly benefit from those brilliant ideas.

Hi Torsten.

I was thinking of doing topics about AI, virtual reality and something closer to home, like the rhino poaching. Does that seem okay?

Torsten · February 10, 2020, 8:29am

Absolutely Leonika. You can choose your own topics as long as you can identify yourself with them and we will see what kind of response your pages get. I look forward to seeing your first exercises.

Leonika · February 10, 2020, 8:30am

Hi @Andrea. I’m in Nelspruit. We’re on opposite side of the country, but both equally beautiful in it’s own way. Nice to meet you and have a wonderful week.

Andrea · February 10, 2020, 10:57am

Thanks @Leonika! Nice to meet you too. Yes, I agree with you! Have a great week too.

Sumejja · February 11, 2020, 8:00am

Hi @Natalia_Polteva, thanks for tagging me in this! What an interesting topic - great choice, @tim_m. Honestly, I like that you point out how much cheaper everything would be without commissions/fees because that’s often a huge part of why people switch to new solutions, but I especially like the additional layer of security and transparency that blockchain brings. This is a great topic, I can’t wait to read more about it.

Sean-C · February 13, 2020, 8:23am

As a new member, I was only allowed to post 2 links, but I’ve got them all on a doc to refer to.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Torsten · February 13, 2020, 8:30am

Hi Sean, I like all the topics you have listed here and look forward to seeing your exercises based on them.

tim_m · February 14, 2020, 11:08am

Hi everyone. Hope you all have been having a great week so far. @Torsten, here are some articles I sourced for my next texts. I’ve written on articles 9 and 10 before, but they have information in them I still want to cover.

Also, I have been working on creating content for the project we discussed last Sunday (more extensive reading comprehension texts and writing prompts). I should have my first potential PDF finished and over to you by Saturday, so maybe we can discuss it over another video call this Sunday. What are your thoughts?

Torsten · February 14, 2020, 12:53pm

Hi Tim, all these topics are great so I look forward to seeing your next exercises featuring them. I’m particularly thrilled by the fact that indeed humanity is way more important and so much bigger than just plain old capitalism. And yes, let’s do another video call this Sunday .

Tamar · February 14, 2020, 4:44pm

Hi everyone! @Torsten I know I already handed in my articles, but if the forum is the primary way to communicate, is there another way you prefer me to upload future articles? Just let me know. Looking forward to hearing what you thought about my work!

Torsten · February 14, 2020, 5:55pm

Hello Tamar, the easiest way to share your materials with us is via Google Drive. Your first exercises will be online by tomorrow evening and you will be able to collect some feedback so please watch this space . Many thanks for your great work.

Tamar · February 14, 2020, 7:10pm

Thanks, Torsten. I’ll do that for the next batch. Do you give a link out when the questions are posted or is there one I can head to? I’m excited to see what happens!

Torsten · February 14, 2020, 7:35pm

Natalia is going to add your tests to our site through our content management system and she will post the links here once she is done as she has been doing with all the previous tests. Have you seen them? Car-Free cities in Europa | english.best
