Grammar

*Should (advice)
*Should have (regret) ...

SHOULD (level 1)

What should you do if you have a minor car accident?

First of all, you should stay calm. You should make sure the other driver is ok. What else should you do?

Try this cloze exercise/dictation (Word)

What other advice would you give someone in these situations ...

*Your friend's wife leaves him for another man
*Your son wants to start his own business but has no money
*Your neighbours have parties everynight and you can't sleep

Try this Grammar exercise (Should/Shouldn't) about healthy living (Oxford Uni Press)

SHOULD HAVE (level 2)

Using "should have" is quite different to using "should".

"Should" is for advice. eg. You should stay calm
"Should have" is for regret. (something you did not do in a past situation and now there is a bad consequence) eg. You should have stayed calmed (instead you got angry and now everyone is upset)

Try this exercise (BBC)

Here is a video about "should have" and some other "modals of lost opportunity" ..."would have" and "could have" ... (expressoenglish.net)

Benefits, Risks, Dangers, Relationships

 VPAU 505.4 - Write a descriptive or narrative text 



Exercise 1 - Viewing/Discussion : Watch the video. What is "Le Parkour" or "Free-Running"?

(In class or with a friend at home) make a list of its ...

BENEFITS (eg. develop fitness)
RISKS/DANGERS (eg. break bones)

Review : Giving advice

What advice would you give to someone interested in starting this activity?

Practice using these openers in your discussion ...

*If I were you ...
*You should/shouldn't ... / You ought to / oughtn't ...
*It would be a good idea ...
*Don't ...
*Remember to ... / Don't forget to ...

2)  Listen to the dictation "Free-Running" (Mp3 - 400k) here

3) Fill in the gaps
4) Check your answers on the fold/listen/fill the gap sheet

(Remember: you can right click on the Mp3 link to download the dictation to your computer. Keep it in your own listening text collection for future use)

***

Exercise 3 - Reading : Free Running (from New Headway, Oxford Uni Press)

In class we read a story about one of the pioneers of Free Running or 'Le Parkour'. If you missed the class, ask me for a copy of the one-page story.

Download my Reading Comprehension Questions here

***

Exercise 4 - Writing (Opinion): 

What do you think about Free-Running (First draft)

Write a first draft in class. Use your Benefits/Risks/Dangers list (Exercise 1) as well as your completed worksheet (Exercise 2) to help you.

Bring your draft to class for the writing workshop. You can then write your final copy and choose how you submit it to me.

Grammar : Order of Adjectives

eg. A talented, French free-runner
eg. A beautiful, antique, mahogany wardrobe
eg. An eerie, dark Winter's night

Do you remember the general rules for ordering adjectives in English? (See Murphy, Grammer in Use, 3rd Edition, Unit 99)

Knowing about this order of adjectives can help with writing descriptions.

The best rule is to keep your descriptions simple - no more than 2 or 3 adjectives when describing a person, thing or situation.

Activity:

Play games and exercises to review this grammar (British Council)

***

Speaking: Describing People 

Discussion : With a friend spend a few minutes ...

...describing yourself

...describing your partner or a friend

Viewing: (Real English)

Watch the video ... what do people say about each other. Focus on one or two couples only
