1. English Workshop Topic: Harry Potter: Magic vs Reality
Description: Harry Potter has become so ingrained in the cultural and linguistic fabric of Britain that it's a little tricky to distinguish what's been invented for the magical world and what's just...British. Find out about the real life inspirations of magical culture and how made-up phrases have become part of everyday language.
Apr 13 (Tuesday, 3PM to 4PM)
Apr 14 (Wednesday, 3PM to 4PM)

2. English WorkshopTopic: Consistency: UK English versus US English
Description: Is it cookie or biscuit? Do we say sweater, or jumper? There has always been great confusion when it comes to deciding which English to use. Well, whatever you decide upon doesn’t matter, as long as you remain consistent. This workshop is ideal for students interested in learning the differences between the two versions of English. Come discuss which words are more consistent with either version along with others!

Apr 21 (Wednesday, 3PM to 4PM)
Apr 22 (Thursday, 3PM to 4PM)
Please note that:
1) The topic repeats every day for the whole week, so you might just join one workshop. Of course you are welcome to join more than once if you would like to get yourself familiarize with the topic.
2) The workshops will be conducted by Zoom. And the seating is first come first served, so sign up now!
