TASK 2

achieve this, you will record your voice using Vocaroo or Chirbit, which are online tools
to record.
In the recording you are going to tell an accident you had: when it happened, how it was,
and what were the causes and the consequences.
General guidelines
-When developing task 1, be honest and conscious with your learning process since all
of your partners are going to answer the same activity, so it is not about copying other’s
responses, is about what you understood and what you learnt.
-When developing task 2, if you are going to use Chirbit, make sure you sign up and
look over it in order to check how it works.
Check the following link to discover how Vocaroo works:

-Participation in the forum is imperative, so upload your contributions on time (do not
wait until the last day. Works uploaded after the deadline will not be graded), check your
partners’ contributions and give relevant feedback.
-Contact you partners as well as you tutor in order to clarify doubts about this activity.
