From italki teacher Ilene: The CORONAVIRUS Want to Talk about It? (FOR INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED STUDENTS)
Hi Everyone--I hope you're all feeling OK, especially since you're COOPED UP in your home. If you want to practice your ESL during this time, I'm offering a conversation course on it. You can check it out. Or if you want to chat on this discussion page, please go ahead. I'll do some corrections on your entries if you want it.
STAY HEALTHY!

The Coronavirus may be the biggest event so far in your lifetime. In the US, that's ALL we're talking about now. Want some good new vocabulary to express yourself in American (or British) English? In this lesson you'll learn:
1. Vocabulary related to a pandemic, such as infectious, asymptomatic, test positive or negative, transmission, among many others.
2. The accepted scientific background of coronavirus, so you can "intelligently" discuss the PANDEMIC.
