MONDAY 23 OCTOBER 2017

Today we talked about walking and staying in nature.

We started with a speaking exercise to discuss Useful things to talk with you whilst hiking or trekking.

This exercise corresponds to part of the PET and FCE Cambridge exams. Together with the other candidate you must discuss a situation and find the best solution.

Here you can find some useful phrases.

Then we read a text about surviving in the Wilderness on Page 25 of FCE Result.

The text contains examples of different verb patterns.

An example of  a verb pattern is that some verbs can be followed by another verb in the ing form and other by the verb with to. Like do and make, it can be  a good idea to make lists but there is also a generla rule to guide us.

For a good explanation and many examples see here
