-Introduce yourself (or a friend)
-Sport or hobbies
-A day in your life
-Describe someone (physically and talking about the personality)
-Compare different landscapes, singers, etc.

TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD

As you know, in this unit you have to prepare an essay about a country as well as an oral presentation. Here I'm going to post an example of how to prepare the oral presentation in a card paper.

You must include the following points:
-Map
-Flag
-Gastronomy
-Culture (festivals, traditions, timetable...)
-Language that they talk
-Monuments, most famous places, museums.
-Other things of interest (sports, animal, climate...)

Don't forget that I'm going to take into account the creativity of your presentation too..

UNIT 6: HOLIDAYS IN TUNISIA

We use the future when we want to express actions that are going to happen.

However, in this unit we are going to focus our attention on one type of future: BE GOING TO.

BE GOING TO is used for:

1) planned actions in the future

We are going to sing at the party.

2) You are certain that something is going to happen in the future.

Look at that car! It is going to crash into the yellow one.
