Class 1: Unit 6; future plans

Class 1: Unit 6; future plans


Today was our first class. We made name cards and then got started on the book.

We talked about what field we would like to have a career in. We also talked about what we wanted to be when we were younger. And if it was different why we changed our minds.

We then learned some phrases from the photo story about changing our mind and other idiomatic phrases using 'mind' and 'brain'.

After the break, we talked about reasons for changing our minds and roll played the first dialogue using the social language.

We looked at the grammar of the future in the past.

I was going to be an architect
I wanted to be an architect
I thought I would be an architect


We finished with a review of the vocabulary from pages 62-65 and then did some free talking using the idiomatic phrases. Many of these phrases will be in the exams.

Next class, we will be talking about regret using perfect modals (should/shouldn't have +pp).

We will also learn about qualifications and do some mini job interviews with our partners.

Have a great weekend!

P.S. Next week I will upload the online homework links.
