WRITTEN MEDIATION:
Your friend Phillip and you had a video call while on
lockdown last week. You talked about the current situation and the effect that
it may have on global economy. You mentioned the concept “fast fashion” but he
didn’t understand what it was. You sent him this link of a video to make him understand, but it’s in Spanish and he
texted you saying he needs help. Can you
write him back explaining what they’re dealing with on the video? Watch the video twice and write 100-110 words.
