I love challenges. You guys rock my world.
It is so fun getting all of your videos and

putting them together in one long string of
awesomeness.

What is a challenge? A challenge is when you
make me a video practicing your English. You’ll
3

00:31
upload it to YouTube. Make sure that it is
either “unlisted” or “public”. If
4
31390
6010
00:37
it’s “private,” then I can’t see it.
Send me the link to this email address and
5

put ‘Video Challenge 4’ in the subject.

Okay, that’s the challenge, but what’s
the topic? This topic is going to be a little
7
47350
7040
00:54
harder than past challenges because it involves
someone else. This video challenge is: introduce
8

6520
01:00
me to someone in your life. If you’re not
sure where to start, here is a sample of an
9

introduction.
10

>> Hey Hilah, this is my boyfriend David.
>> Hi David.
11

>> Hey.
>> I’m Hilah.
12

01:10
>> Nice to meet you.
>> Nice to meet you.

>> Hilah, I did the program in LA with.
>> Yes.

And guys, make sure you tell the person what
it’s for. Get his or her permission before
15
74660
6730
01:21
you put the video on YouTube because I am
also going to put it on YouTube. So make sure
16
81390
5360
01:26
that the person you’re introducing is okay
with that. I’m so excited to meet the people
17
86750

01:32
in your lives. For example, “Hey Rachel,
this is my brother John, and he teaches high
18
92550
5429
01:37
school Spanish.” Or, “this is my friend
Maria, and we love to go hiking together.”

It can be that short and that simple, or you
can make it a little bit longer.

Are you up for the challenge? I hope so! Make
sure to get it to me by the deadline in order
21

01:54
for me to put it in my compilation video,
which I love to do. If you need some inspiration,

here are some clips from past video challenges.
So get your cameras ready, people! I will
