This will be your last oral project. You will have a chance to practice the second conditional. This is a formula:

Think of a hypothetical situation and record a 1 minute audio file.

Unit 9 Can and 1rst condidional

Dear students
As planned , we are paying more attention now to oral production.As a result, your challenge is to create an audio file where you use the grammar topic of the unit we are covering and apply it to a situation.

Select a problem in our city or your neighborhood, a problem young people may have and suggest some solutions.For example
Listen to one of your classmates talking about anorexia




You can also describe the consequences of a real situation.
For example, how can you get better results in the coming final exams
If you form study groups you will learn faster
If you dedicate more time to study you will get better results in the exams.
Listen to Karla talk about her piano lessons and her swimming class.

Hi everyone,
You have two tasks for next week.
Task 1.
It is time to concentrate in oral skills. During the last 3 months of the school year you will produce and publish in a podcast page short mp3 files ( 1 minute max) for each unit in the book.
First create an account in podomatic.
If you need a tutorial you can check this one out.
You can record using the podomatic online tools directly from your computer if it has a microphone , you can also use your phone, or your digital camera.
Make sure you send me (to my mail) the link to your podcast page.
Upload your mp3 file and post a picture relevant to the topic discussed.
For unit seven please answer the following questions in your mp3 file.

• What are some of things you have done in your life that you are proud of?
• What haven´t you done yet but are planning to do soon?
