Send Your Friends an English Video Message

Everybody likes to get surprise messages, so why not spread a little joy to the world and send your friends some video messages in English. To do this you'll need to have a webcam attached to your computer.

Task:

• Go to: http://www.bubblejoy.com and click on get started

• You then need to select an image for your card. There are lots to choose from. Try to choose one which suits your message.

• Once you've selected the type of card you want to send you'll need to allow the site to access your camera and microphone.

• You should then be able to record a 60 second message. Don't worry if you get the message wrong you can record it again as many times as you like until you get it right.

• Then just fill in the form with your email address and the email of the person you want to send it to and go to the bottom of the page and click on 'Send'.

Be sure to send your message in English. You can send as many messages as you like. It's all good practice for your speaking. Try to send a new one each day.

I hope you enjoy this activity. Come back tomorrow for more EFL ESL activities to improve your English.

Best
