Hello and welcome to our forth class! 
In this lesson we´re going to continue reading about life plans and resolutions. 

  • But first, take a look at these people, do you know them? Answer these questions: 




Who is a famous Irish writer?
Who wrote the film Rocky?
Who wrote the Harry Potter series?

  • Listen to check if you were right:

  • Listen again and answer the questions on your folder:

1. What's Annie's problem?
2. What does Ben want to do with his life?
3. How was James Joice earning a living (ganándose la vida) when he was 30?
4. How are the examples of Joyce, Stallone and Rowling different to Annie's situation?
5. Why does Ben tell Annie not to worry?

  • Was the previous listening activity difficult for you? Try and do your best in answering the questions, and I'll give you the transcription of this audio next class and you'll see that it is not so difficult!
  • As you could hear in the listening activity, Annie is worried about her future, and both, Annie and Ben use different expressions to talk about the future. Let's revise some ways of dealing with it...

  • Work with these activities from page 15 SB.



  • Check your answers:
1. 1. am meeting
    2. am going to study
    3. will do

RULE:
1. Present Continuous
2. Will
3. Be Going to

2. 1. We're going

    4. I'm seeing
    5. She's going to be

    7. will win
    8. We're flying

  • For those students who couldn't buy the books, here is a link. Download them and work.

  • Match the verbs 1-6 with a-f to make phrases. Sometimes there's more than one possible combination:
1. feel                                               a. an appointment
2. get                                                b. an operation
