SPEAKING: Lesson 1 Task 6: Holiday habits

Follow the chart to find someone who does these things . Then, ask for complementary information about it.

SPEAKING: DEFINE WITHOUT NAMING - Relative Pronouns: who, which, that, where, when

(worksheet)

In groups or individually, define a person, a thing, an animal, a place and a time (of the year) by using the correct relative pronoun. Don’t name them! Then, the other classmates will have to guess who or what you are describing.

For example:

a) It is a socialist politician who/that led a coup d'état against the Spanish Republic in Asturias in 1934.

Who is it?

b) It is the largest animal which/that on lives on land. What is it?

c) It is a thing which/that we use to heat food without fire. What is it?

d) It is the continent where humankind was born. What is it?

e) It’s the time of the year when children are given presents. When is it?

Lesson 1 Task 5: Time traveling

Let’s change the verb tense ofo this text! It’s in present and you have to write it again twice, one in past, and the other one in the future simple (Imagine you are a futurologist!).

Before getting started, review:

- The past: regular & irregular verbs

- The past: affirmative, negative & interrogative sentences

- The future: affirmative, negative & interrogative sentences

- will / (I, we) shall (formal; suggestions):

We can use shall instead of will with I and we in statements. Its use is more formal:

We shall never forget the holiday we had in Vietnam.

When we use shall I and shall we in questions it is usually to make suggestions rather than to refer to future time:

It’s getting late. Shall we go home?

Shall I invite Louisa and Jill to the party?

MODEL TEXT: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lnkdQmoFt_BEvc9foPZQOAf795vB-5Vf/view?usp=sharing

Now it's time to think about how is your perfect summer. 

Imagine you can design this perfect season, how will it be? Here or abroad, alone or in good company, near the seaside or inland... ?

After thinking how your perfect summer will be, is time to create a HANDMADE POSTER!
