because people speak English This week my husband is going to
get rid of our landline. Why? It costs a lot of money each month
and we almost never use it. I use video chat to talk to my best
friends, clients, and colleagues. I use my cell phone to text my
family members and I use email, twitter, and blogs to keep in
touch with friends around the world. We have moved so many times
in the last few years that most of our friends don't even know
our home number. The phone sits in its cradle and sleeps most of
the time. And yet, I wonder if I will miss the phone. Sometimes
you don't know what you've got until it's gone. This month,
let's write telephone conversations! But, wait. It's not going
to be that easy. We are going to practise using homophones for
our transcripts. Homophones are words that have the same sound
but different meanings. 1) Click on EC's NEW list of homophones.
2) Choose a list. (Use an appropriate level, or just choose the
list that inspires you.) 3) Write a fictional phone conversation
