Short film about the first day at a new school

When you start a new class, you often get asked to present yourself. Watch this short film about how it can feel to have to share what one is good at:

• Was there anything you liked about the film? Did you recognize yourself in the film? Did anything surprise you? 
• Was there anything you did not like so much? Was anything in the film boring? 
• Was there anything in the film you did not understand or that you thought was difficult?

This semester we have focussed a lot on talking and you have learned ...

• how to greet people in a friendly and polite way, 
• how to present yourself and tell more about your family, if you have any pets, where you live, what you do and what interests you have,
• useful phrases when you go shopping or have breakfast at a café or hotel, and 
• different kinds of jobs you can have.

We have also talked about ...

• in which countries they speak English and 
• some examples mentioned in the book: Manchester, Scotland and Australia.
