Thursday's Assignment

Can a tenant get kicked out? What, if any, circumstances could make this happen? Discuss this with a partner.
- Yes, the tenant get kicked out when he doesn't  pay the rent for a long time or the tenant broke the rules and does something wrong in the apartment.

                                        Does this picture look familiar? What's the story behind it? Is the cartoon funny, and if so, why?
The picture look familiar because is the history of three little pigs. The history behind is a lesson about responsibility. The cartoon is funny because the wolf is a landlord and is using his power to  take the pigs.

1. Reading: Fighting an Eviction
1. Find 3 or more interesting/surprising facts and list them in your own words on your blog.

My interesting/surprising facts are:

- If you landlord wants evict you, he needs to follow some rules to do that. The first one is report the tenant to court.
- After this report, the process will be open and both (tenant and landlord) will have the chance to defend himself.
- Throughout the process the two sides is supported  and advised to find the better way.

1. Role play: Eviction Notice
1. Identify phrases that are most useful and could be used in other situations, and practise them more, aloud.
2. With a partner create a chirbit on eviction or record another conversation based on your useful phrases.

This audio was recorded by Fabio and Coco.
