Hi, I like this site and this lesson however I think there is something wrong at the end – I think that was from the OTHER LESSON about the Born in 1900’s … Continue to create really great English Lessons, I appreciate it and my students too! They are all very interesting and helpful.
Hello Maria. It’s great to get a comment from a member. I’m glad that you’re enjoying the lessons. What content did you see in the lesson that you think came from the other ‘Born in the 1900s’ lesson? I can’t find it. By the way, if you have time, can you complete this feedback form? (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc7eOMh8_wxKjDOxTyH3xINvVNf2lUVyDarG3erxpPz8kOuHw/viewform?usp=sf_link) It’ll help me design better lessons in the future.
