Hi class,
In this lesson, we are going to listen to someone make suggestions. There are many ways to do this in English. To make a suggestion means to offer an idea or plan for someone to think about.
Look at these examples: (On Saturday morning, I tried to buy produce at Safeway...but they were all out. They didn't have any lettuce, kale, blueberries, etc.)
You could go shopping at a different store.
You should go shopping at a different store.
Why don't you go shopping at a different store ?
How about shopping at a different store ?
What about going to a different store ?
Let's go shopping at a different store.
Here is more information about making suggestions in English:
Listen to a podcast from voanews about making and accepting suggestions:
Let's do pages 74-75 in your book:
Look at the questions in Exercise 1A. Think about them and we can discuss together.
Read exercise 1B about "latchkey" kids.
Look at page 75. Read exercise 2A.
Listen to the conversation again. Write the problems and solutions in the chart for Exercise 2A.
Then listen one more time and write the suggestions you hear in Exercise 2B.
If you want to read the conversations, look at the audio script on page 237:
Read the conversation for page 75.
Why don't we practice making suggestions tomorrow when we zoom ?
Think about these issues:
1. I need more speaking practice in English.
2. I hate to exercise but I know it's important.
3. I miss seeing my classmates and teachers at school.
4. I feel bored staying at home so much.
5. I need to lose weight.
6. I want to learn to cook something new.
7. I need to find some good books in English.
