Starter Unit - Day 1 (T1)

Getting to know you - What's your level like?

Are you fluent because you speak English at home?Is your level good due to classes of English in the evening (ouside the school)?Or maybe you spend/spent some time abroad?

Are you one of those who like languages and, in consequence, like and study English a lot?Are you a hard-working person and, in general, get good marks in most of the subjects?

Or perhaps you are one of those who have been studying English for years without any improvement at all? Do you hate (foreign) languages but love to communicate with foreigners through mimics?

Whatever your situation is, there is a way for you to learn and, if possible, enjoy using languages as a way to communicate with people. Don't forget that people have always travelled and traded and that internet was created in the recent years. When Columbus arrived to America neither him nor the locals used to speak neither English nor Spanish.

Let's see your level of English today, right now.

1-. Composition: Who am I?

In a piece of paper, introduce yourself:

- things you like to do in you free-time,

- things you don't like/ hate to do (in general),

- what you like in people,

- what you don' like or hate in people,

- where you usually spend / spent your holidays,

- your best holidays,

- the book you liked the most/less,

- the movie you liked the most / less,

- the music you love to listen to,

.... I mean, talk about you and your world so that the techer can get an idea of your level of English and the kind of student/person you are.

2-. When the composition is finished / done, give it to the teacher and take out your notebook. There, do the following activites from the student's book:
