Unit 1a Book

In the final section of this unit, revise the tenses covered in this Unit in this gap-fill task. Then, read the following poem with special attention paid to the tenses used. After reading it, personalize the poem by changing the bold-faced sections so that they are true about you. For example, you can think about your field of study and how you have arrived at it. Or you can write about some of the projects you have been working on for some time and you think will be successful in the future. If you cannot think of any ways to personalize the poem, you can simply think of any invention/discovery you have recently heard about and present it as your own (but, of course, you need to cite the source of the information). After completing the poem, write about the same topic in eight to ten sentences, using the correct verb tenses. Underline the most important information in your text and then swap it with one of your fellow students. His/her task will be to read the sentences and prepare four to five questions about the underlined data + at least two more related questions. Your task will be to do the same with your fellow student´s text. Finally, use the text and the questions to prepare short interviews in pairs. You can arrange an online meeting and record yourself. One of you will be the interviewer and the other one the interviewee. After you finish, swap your roles. The finished mp3 file should not exceed 40 MB (it should not be longer than five minutes).
