  2. Speaking
    1. Prepare for a conversation with your language partner.  Write down questions for your partner about their dream job and city.  Prepare at least 20 questions.  Where would they live if they could move to anywhere in the world?  Where would they work?  If you’re unfamiliar with asking questions using ‘would’ or ‘if’ to express wishes, review the grammar here: http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/verbs/wishes-and-hypotheses
    2. Meet with your language partner.  Try your best to only speak in English for 30 minutes.  Of course, be sure to then provide your partner with an equal amount of time to practice your native language as well.
  3. Writing
    1. Write a summary of your exchange with your partner on the Mixxer blog.  Write a description of where you or your partner would like to live and work and why.
