• Warm up - Speaking - Truth be told...: Did you somehow manage to wind down this weekend? Tell us and jot down the level expressions you can actually make use of to raise your level.
    • Level stuff so far would mean using:
      • manage to + INF
      • succeed in + -ing
      • be able to + INF
      • have difficulty + -ing
      • spend + x time + -ing.
      • etc
    • Now talk about what you normally do to wind down and put your feet up when you are stressed out or shattered. Time now to use turn-taking techniques that would make you sound more natural and polite, namely:
      • Echo questions - Aux + S?
      • How + adj! or How + adj + of so + to do sth!
      • What + (a/an) + adj + noun!
      • You must be joking/kidding/teasing me/pulling my leg.
      • You can't be serious. 
      • I can't believe my eyes/ears.
      • Agreeing: 
            • + sentences: So + aux + S!
            • - sentences: Neither + aux + S!
      • Disagreeing

  • Listen to the audio and jot down what the figures below refer to:


 
 
  • Speaking: Pose the questions below to your classmate embedding them in another sentence, i.e. by using indirect questions. You can use: "Would you mind telling us "this"? or I'd also like you to tell us "this". 


  • Agreeing or disagreeing: Some people argue "Blood is thicker than water". Where do you stand on this?
