In this lesson, we reviewed some conversation exchanges. Then, we moved on and read three emails for three different teenagers about their problems. The problems were:
Sally is desperate because she gained a lot of weight and doesn't know what to do.
Danny is lonely because he doesn't fit in at school.
Tom is shy because he's afraid of making a fool of himself.
I also pointed out that because-clauses are special because, after the word 'because', you can just put a normal complete sentence:
Sally is desperate because she gained a lot of weight and doesn't know what to do.
Danny is lonely because he doesn't fit in at school.
Tom is shy because he's afraid of making a fool of himself.
In pairs, we practiced talking with each other in English and discussing what Sally, Danny, and Tom could do about their problems and giving our justifications (reasons) for our suggestions. Next time, we will talk more about our suggestions for these three problems.
Don't forget your homework!
Today, you guys don't have any homework, but please don't forget to bring a memorable photo to school on Saturday and have a few words to share about your photo! Even if you don't bring a photo to school, I'll make you come to the front of class and tell us a short story, so please bring a picture!
