14 PET Reading Part 4

10mins - Speaking: Situation - A friend of yours is planning to spend 6 months in England to improve her English. Talk together about the things she will need in England and decide which are the most important things to take/bring with her. (Give them some options to start with).

05mins - Review the online homework. What topics were discussed? Was the homework easy, medium or difficult? Answer any questions the students may have.

05mins - Review: Gerunds and infinitives: the nouns that look like verbs. (verb + ing; to + verb) Both can be an object of the sentence or the subject of a verb, but only a gerund can be the object of a preposition. (Ex: I can improve my English by studying often. Gerunds are used to express actions that are real, concrete and completed. (Ex: The baby stopped crying.) Infinitives are used to express actions that are unreal, abstract, or may occur in the future. (Ex: I wanted to become an actress.)

Note: In some cases, the gerund and the infinitive can be used with the same verb, specifically verbs that indicate preference. (hate, like, enjoy). The difference lies in what is being expressed. Ex: I hate dancing - emphasis on experience or action. I hate to dance - a habit or a preference.

10mins - Activity: Class interviews - Students must interview their classmates, asking about their preferences and recording their answers. Ex: What do you like to do in your free time? I like to go shopping. Do you enjoy horror films? I enjoy watching horror films.
