The objectives of these lessons are to enrich the general knowledge of the student on a range of topics and to enable the student to have a discussion on these topics in English. The series combines short factual readings with questions and language exercises. Attention is given to reading ability, comprehension, speaking and writing.
ESSENTIAL CONVERSATIONS
This series of lessons aims to expand the student’s vocabulary and improve their conversational ability on a range of topics. Each lesson consists of a short article, some relevant vocabulary, and a series of discussion questions.

TWO TRUTHS, ONE LIE

After asking questions, the student’s partner or the class have to guess which of the three statements is false.
