We have started today, as usual, with the daily idiom: to go bananas. Then we have checked the homework, exercise 6 from page 13. Students worked in pairs making the sentences with the question tags and responding according to the information from the listening activity in the previous page. Next piece of homework was exercise 1 from page 14. Students chose the right collocation explaining the meaning of the expression afterwards. You can do this activity about work collocations.
We then continued with a listening exercise in which Carl Honoré explains what to take it slow at work means. I'll post another listening exercise related to this at some point. In the listening activity certain grammar structures were introduced:
- Ability or possibility: can and be able to
- A person is expected to do something: be supposed to
- Permission to do something: can and be allowed to
- Something is necessary (obligation): must and have to
- Give advice: should and ought to
- Not allowed (prohibition): must and can't
- Not necessary: don't have to
All these expression are followed by an infinitive.
We finished the lesson talking about our dream job. The purpose of this activity was to practise the use of the grammar structures above and the vocabulary about work.
For homework students must do exercise 5 from page 15, exercise 3 from page 16 and a short composition describing an unusual job using the structures and vocabulary we have studied today. I have added a video to the student channel to give you ideas about weird jobs.
Have fun!!
