- Your Education: Speaking
We considered the following questions:
. What kind of secondary school did/do you go to? Did/do you like it?
. How many pupils were there in each class?
. How much homework did/do you have?
. Was your discipline strict?
- Vocabulary: (p. 52)
Do you know the difference between...

- Pronunciation: (p. 52)

- Reading: "So school these days is easy? Think again"

Useful vocabulary: do up, in return, spreadsheets, give it in, slightly dazed
- Grammar: First conditional & future time clauses (p. 136)
1st conditional (still possible): If (or unless) + present simple, will/won't + infinitive
Future time clauses: remember that we don't use 'will' after as soon as / when / until / before / after
As soon as I get home, I'll call you.
After I finish university, I'll probably take a year off and travel.
- Listening: Charlotte and Viktor have just take important exams. Will they pass? When will they get their results? What will they do if they pass? (p. 54)
