In this lesson, Sts focus on word order in questions. The context for presenting the grammar is an interview with a woman who works for the Department of Tourist Information in the town of Ushuaia in the south of Argentina. Ushuaia is very close to Antarctica. She talks about what it is like to live in a town that has 19 hours daylight in the summer but is dark most of the day in winter. In Vocabulary, Sts learn some more common verbs, and the pronunciation focus is on three more vowel sounds, /ɛr/, /ɑ/, and /aʊ/, and the /y/ sound.

Lesson 6B: Do you like mornings?

Submitted by api on Wed, 12/15/2021 - 08:34

This lesson begins with the context of a questionnaire about typical morning activities. This leads into learning the vocabulary to talk about daily routines. The grammar focus is on using adverbs of frequency. We have deliberately limited the choice of adverbs to the four most common ones – always, never, usually, and sometimes. The focus is on their position with the simple present.
