"I'd rather go ______ than to see you ______ ______________" >> Can you complete the sentence listening to the song?
I'd rather my students listened to me and followed my advice, but unfortunately they don't and they let the problems grow bigger as snowballs. Sometimes it is too late and they can't cope with the burden they've got on their backs. I wish they behaved differently!
Here's a writing exercise our students had to do in the exam
Wr08. Mediation "Act of kindness"
D.
Imagine you have decided to do kind acts for 2025. Before starting, you
are going to write a short post on social media about it in English.
Using the information from the podcast on page 1, explain in your own
words:
· what the project ‘A Year of Kindness’ is about and why you want to do it
· the benefits of this project
So the first thing we have to think about is the format, which is going to be A POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA, that is to say, it is going to be written in an informal style using the ideas given in previous exercises and the structures seen in Unit 3: hypothetical conditionals, I wish, I'd rather..., among others.
Here's a proposal written by your teacher:
Hi, everybody!
Excellent
news! We have decided in our class at school that we are going to
organize a "month of kindness". What does that mean? It means that every
single day during a month we are going to try to carry out an act of
kindness. So, surely, everybody will much happier by the end of the
month.
What
can we do to be kind? Our acts of kindness don't have to be big things.
One day, for instance, if our neighbour was too old, we could help our
neighbour to take the rubbish out or do the gardening. Another day we
can babysit our little cousin while the parents have a night out.
Finally, we can also make higher plans, and decide to help two or three
classmates with their homework. For example, I'm going to help Pablo
pass his 1º ESO exams by teaching him English two days a week instead of
playing video games with him.
I wish you could join us and try to be as kind as possible during a month. What do you think?
