Let's talk and write.

Exercise 01

On PADLET, record at least, four achievements. Follow the structure.

• In 2001, I graduated from university.

Exercise 02

On PADLET, listen to a classmate's achievements and write them on the comments. Follow the structure. (If you don't understand a word, ask your classmate for information.)

Structure

• 1996: Samuel finished school satisfactorily.

• 1997: He applied and enrolled the university.

• 1998: He participated in a singing competition.

• 2001: He graduated from university.

Exercise 03

Work in pairs and talk to a partner about your achievements, explain why they were a challenge.

Example:

A: So, you graduated from school in 1996. Tell me, was it a challenge to you?

B: Well, really, I was never so good at mathematics and I had a hard time at school, but that year I prepared myself a lot. My parents put a teacher to help me, and I could pass the subject really well.

A: Wow, what about the Singing competition? Can you sing well?

B: It was just a hobbie, and I was always afraid of singing in public, but my best friend encouraged me to do it. I trained my voice and in the end, I could overcome my fears.

Exercise 04

Look at the MINDMAP on the next slide and, on JAMBOARD, write two achievements and the things you did before getting those achievements. Then talk to the class about the activities.

Before I graduated from secondary school, I had been receiving particular classes from a teacher.
