info_outlineEpisode 22 is another new format to the ESL Unscripted show. It is a traveler show, but in this episode we listen to a short presentation given by David. David is a world traveler and EFL teacher originally from England. What makes him unique as a traveler is that he’s traveled through most of the countries he’s visited on a bicycle.
In this presentation to a class of intermediate-level university students in Vietnam, David shares some of the highlights of his trips, how he began riding, and how he completes his trips. In the real presentation, David asks the students to write some more specific questions about his life and he addresses those questions in a 30-minute question and answer session.
This Q&A session is not included here because I want you to think of and write some questions for David. In a future episode, we will sit down with David together and ask your questions about his life, his travels, and anything else you’d like to know. Please visit www.eslunscripted.com/blog and find episode 22. You can leave a written comment or send a voicemail at the bottom of the page.
Enjoy the show!
