Dear 5th form students, this week we’ve had a Skype call with Dean Vallejo, a Peace Corps Volunteer who works in Soroca now. As you know the topic of our lesson was “Holidays”. He told you about the holidays in the USA. First he told you a lot of things about himself, then he spent a lot of time talking about Thanksgiving Day, since it is not celebrated in Moldova. He also told you about Gasparilla Pirate Festival is an annual celebration held in the city of Tampa, Florida, his motherland and shared some pictures he took there.
I want you to share your impressions about the Skype session answering the questions:

As for me, our online session was a great experience. It is my first experience in using Skype as a teaching tool. I am still excited. Thanks all my students who participated in the session. I am looking forward to read the comments about your feelings.

Our Skype Session was very exciting. I liked it very much. I remembered the Dean’s favourite holiday is Christmas. I would like to taste the turkey and the sweet potatoes they eat on Thanksgiving day. I liked the pictures he sent. I would like to repeat this experience. It was great!

I liked the session very much, because it was the first time I listened to an American speaking. I always wanted to see or speak with a person from the United States. I learned about the traditional food Americans eat on Thanksgiving: turkey, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.I would like to repeat this experience. It was exciting!

I liked the skype session because I listened to an American speaking for the 1st time. We learned about Dean's family that is very big and consists of about 40 people. It was funny. I like to meet new people.

I hope he will come to school and speak more about living in Moldova and the USA.
