This lesson is based on the daily routine of two real people with busy lives (Nico runs the restaurant the Blue Jar in Santiago de Chile). Sts begin by learning verb phrases to talk about everyday activities. There is then a pronunciation focus on linking and sentence stress, which will help Sts to understand spoken English. Sts then read about Nico’s daw and listen to an interview with his stepdaughter Amelia and decide whose day they think is more stressful. This is followed bv a grammar focus on prepositions of time and place, which are commonly used when we describe a typical day.

The main context for this lesson is pictures of people in the public eye who have been photographed with a member of their family or partner who is not well-known. This provides a natural context for presenting the grammar of the possessive s (e.g., Who is he? He’s George Clooney’s father.) and the question word Whose. ..? Sts then learn the vocabulary of family members, which leads into a focus on the /a/ sound, and the most common pronunciations of the letter o. The lesson ends with Sts listening to someone talk about some of their relatives and friends, which Sts then do themselves.
