Ahora podéis hacer las actividades 7, 8, 9 y 10 de las páginas 25 y 26 del cuadernillo. Las corregiremos mañana en clase.

CALL I CALL YOU BACK?

Work in pairs. Discuss these questions. 

1. How much phone calls do you make or get on a normal day?
2. Do you always answer your phone at work or at home? If not, why?
3. When was the las phone call you made? Who did you call? Why?

Watch and listen to two phone calls. What does Emily talk to Clare about? When can Emily talk to Chris Morris again?

 

Open your Student's Book at page 69. Do the exercise 5b. DON'T WATCH THE VIDEO.

Watch the video again and check your answers. 

Do the activity 7. You have the answers here.

NOTES!

• In phone conversations we say It's Clare, not I'm Clare.
• When you say who you are, you must know that This is... is more formal than It's...
• Hold on a moment means wait. A more formal equivalent is Hold the line, please.
• get in I got your message means receive, while get in I'll get him/her means find.
• The verbs call, ring and phone have the same meaning.

Listen and practice the sentences in activity 7.

Finally, do the activity 9. Compare answers with your classmate. You can find the asnwers here.
