Welcome to the academic year 2025-26. In this introductory session, you will be required to complete two production tasks.
1. Written expression. Write a story in pairs using as many of the following words as possible:
-Actually
-Career
-Despite
-Nevertheless
-If she/he had only known
Swap your texts with another pair after 10 minutes and continue writing them until you have contributed to all the stories. Use your imagination and be creative!
2. Oral expression. Rank the following concepts according to your personal priorities in life:
-Family
-Friends
-Health
-Money
-Politics
-Romance
-Sex
-Sport
-Studies
-Work
Make a list individually and then compare it to other students' choices to reach a consensus and create a single list. Once you've finished, join another pair to follow the same process and come up with a single list you all agree with. Provide arguments for this pyramidal discussion until the entire class produces a consensual ranking.
