We hebben het in de afgelopen jaren over de meest uiteenlopende onderwerpen gehad, zoals:
Places to visit
Giving directions
Friendships
Art
Books and magazines
Transport
Clothing
Cafés and restaurants
Sports
Tijdens onze conversatie oefenen we ook met grammatica, zoals:
- De tijden (verleden tijd, tegenwoordige tijd en toekomstige tijd)
- De woordvolgorde
De Engelse vocabulaire wordt door de warming up oefeningen en de conversatie uitgebreid.
Iedere les vatten we alles samen in de feedback. Een voorbeeld hiervan:
Café, Restaurant, Tearoom
This morning, we warmed up with an exercise on “contractions” or short forms. This means changing written English into every day speech. You hear it every time you hear somebody speak. For instance: Would you like a cup of coffee: I’d love one!
