Can you handle a stick?
Standards and automatics...?
(careful! ADJECTIVES HAVE NO PLURAL, but in this case I'm nominalizing them, standard or automatic cars I meant. Is this grammatical? Of course it is! This is the typical word 'someone I know' will look up in a dictionary to check if I'm being credible ...)
If you can't, you will very soon! It's all about...driving. Watch this funny road scene from TV series Friends.
In this video you can also see the use of TONE while flirting. Yes, flirting.
Flirting is an important language function, sometimes difficult to detect by foreign non-native speakers. A language function explains why someone says something. But communication is much more than using WORDS.
1. So, how to detect somebody is flirting? Analysing body language, the tone of voice and type of speech. Draw a three-column chart and write examples from the video under each column.
2. Why doesn't it work in the case of Ross? What did he do wrong?
3. Go to page 86 and 87 from your books SHAPE THE FUTURE II. Do A. Warm-up and B1 exercise. Then , write two short dialogues between two people using, first, a professional tone and, then, one with a colloquial tone. Make sure that both people are listening and contributing to the conversation so that it flows succesfully.
Hope you enjoyed this! I did!
