Lesson: Enhanced Games

The Enhanced Games are a go. If you don’t know what the Enhanced Games are, I don’t blame you. Well, the Olympics are very strict about testing athletes for using illegal substances. In the Enhanced Games, doping will not only be allowed but encouraged. They say it will be strictly monitored with an emphasis on safety, but still, athletes will be encouraged to use medical substances to improve athletic performance. Would it just be older athletes trying to make some money after aging out of the regular athletics circuit, or is this a sign of the times, an if-you-can’t-beat-them-join-them competition; a last kick at the can for large amounts of prize money? Let’s discuss it in class.

Example Article

Each conversation topic is based on a theme. In order to help students acquire a basic understanding of that topic, four media articles are provided for them to read. I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
