English: Module 10

Description

Module 10 covers three chapters of the third level of English:

English 3d: How has your life changed
In this unit, you’re going to focus on how things have changed, starting with childhood dreams and working your way up to the present. What does getting on mean? Are you tired of or tired on your job? Learn more about the present perfect tense with Emma, Kate, Laura and Peter, four friends who get together years after finishing university. Who has taken up a new hobby? What has Peter been up to? Is work on, work in, work as or work for correct? Complete this unit to learn more.

English 3e: I’ve been writing emails all day!
Learn to talk more precisely about work, the career ladder and specific work tasks. How important do you think in-house training is? Do you get a salary rise or a pay rise? Would you like to be in charge of or in charge for your own department at work? Can you use “resignation” in a sentence? After learning new work-related vocabulary, this unit focuses on lengthy recent actions and their consequences (otherwise known as the present perfect continuous tense). Why is Simon frustrated? Because he’s been dealing with difficult customers all day. And what about you—what have you been doing all day?

English 3f: Childhood friends
After completing this unit, you will be able to talk about the people around you in much more depth and detail—ranging from appearance to personality traits. Who among your friends is a barrel of laughs? Is Linda middle-aged or in her middle ages? When you’ve learnt how to describe people, you’ll then start to compare them using comparative and superlative adjectives. Is Frank franker than you? Is Jack funner or more fun than Daniel? Who is the most reserved person you know? Is she cleverer or more clever than I am? You’ll also learn to talk about big and small differences between things and people with words like considerably, slightly and marginally. What are you waiting for?
