Day 1/Travelling
Kseniya
Hello, everybody! Welcome aboard.
I know that some of you miss wonderful places you planned to visit, while others are thinking about changing their travel plans. Let's watch a video, but first look at some of the new words and phrases here:
New words and grammar:
- is being hit - is being affected badly (серьезно пострадала)
- scattered (throughout the year) - spread over (распределены по всему году)
- I do miss my family - 'do' emphasises the verb 'miss' (я очень скучаю без моей семьи)
- play it safe - avoid risks
- (to feel the) urge - strong desire
- essential travel - an extremely important trip
- think twice- consider smth carefully
- uncertainty - неуверенность
- on the books - in a list of clients
Your task:
Voice-recording: What do you think - when will you travel again? Where will you go? Tell us about your plans or fears. Your speech should be 1-3 min long and in a voice-format. Use future simple (for predictions based on opinion) + at least 5 words or phrases from the list. Post it in the general chat, everybody will be able to listen to it, and our host teacher will check it and post the feedback)) Till 22.00 15/04/2020 Perm time.
Optional task - if making a recording is hard for you for any reason - you are short of time, don't like the topic, or you feel uncomfortable today to make it, please make a cinquain - and post it in the chat. Today's cinquain is about "Travel".
Good luck and have a wonderful day! :-)
