1.3. Burning ambitions

- Listening, Speaking & Writing: working on radio news bulletin and practising passive structures! (p. 11 .... still from 1.2. Famous Firsts)


- Reading (p.12) & Listening (p.14). We considered questions such as:
  • Who generally does it better: women, men or both? (It= cooking, gardening, tolerating pain, listening to other people, ballet, expressing emotions, looking after children)
  • Do you think women have limited opportunities in the world of sport?
  • Do you think sport or dance could help reduce levels of delinquency in teenagers and young people?

- Grammar: perfect aspect (p.14)

Future perfect: 'I'll have been here for three months'
Present perfect: 'I've studied English for three years'
Past perfect: 'I had never done anything like that'
