ACTIVITIES

ZERO Conditional: Situations that are always true if something happens, if the condition takes place.

EXAMPLE: If it rains, you will get wet. ( Si llueve, te mojarás)

A zero conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause (note that most zero

conditional sentences will mean the same thing if "when" is used instead of "if"):

If clause (present simple) + main clause (present simple)

If you heat water to 100 degrees, it boils.

ZERO CONDITIONAL ACTIVITIES:

For example:

(not / rain / the flowers / die) If it doesn’t rain, the flowers die.

1. (I / wake up late / I / be late for work)

_______________________________________________________________

2. (my husband / cook / he / burn the food)

3. (Julie / not wear a hat / she / get sunstroke)

FIRST CONDITIONAL (TYPE 1): Often called the "real" conditional because it is used for real or possible

situations.

If you study hard, you will pass the test.

EVERY WEEK, YOUR DEAR TEACHER BRUCE PREPARES SOME RESOURCES FOR YOU. THEY ARE REALLY INTERESTING AND FUN. THIS WEEK, THEY FOCUS ON CONVERSATION. ENJOY THEM:

Dear students,

I hope you are all doing fantastically, and have enjoyed your newfound freedom this weekend. What

3

have you been up to, I wonder? Were there any surprises waiting for you in the great outdoors? I’m

excited to hear all about it in our next classes.

Speaking of which, I am so proud about and impressed by your enthusiasm and participation in

our conversations. I said at the beginning of the year, our goal was to get rid of your anxieties about

speaking English, and I think you have all exceeded my expectations with flying colours! Woohoo! With

that mind, I decided that this week, we could focus on a theme close to my heart: Conversation!

Watch and enjoy the videos if you have time, but remember to stay active and smiling in your

daily life too!

How To Make Good Conversation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXiAPiw7vfc

This video is rather thought-provoking, because it explains different strategies to avoid one of the worst

things in life - awkward silences. For me, this isn’t just important in language classes, but also in daily life.

Sometimes asking more open questions can lead to much deeper connections with your friends and

family, as well as making you seem more confident and charismatic. Give it a go!

Broad/Narrow Questions

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB4Zl2KFOlE)

This is a really clear video about the difference between broad and narrow questions. This is so

important for creating a spontaneous and natural conversation. Next time you’re chatting to someone,

think about which type of questions you’re using. Are you using a narrow question to get information

quickly? Or a broad question to invite more conversation?

A Lesson On The Socratic Method

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH86jaBQ0F4)

Now, philosophy is sometimes very difficult to understand, but I hope you enjoy this video on a really

interesting idea - the Socratic Method. The method of teaching comes for the Ancient Greek

philosopher, Socrates, who was famous for asking questions. He claimed that the best way to learn more

about the world was to always question people on their beliefs and ideals. This is true of English

conversation too - the next time someone says something to you in English, why not try responding with

a question instead of an answer!

Questions Only Improv Game

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rBxRkCccJw)

Finally, a stupid game! Here is one of my favourites, and it matches up well with all the other resources

for this week. The name of the game is “Questions Only”, and was made famous by the American

improvisation show, Whose Line Is It Anyway (you should try and watch it if you can!) The framework is

simple. Two contestants must have a conversation by taking turns asking each other questions. If you fail

to ask a question, you are out!!

A Video By Yours Truly:

Finally, here is a video where I answer some questions that relatives and friends have sent to me over

the past week. I asked them to think of questions you could all ask your own friends and relatives, so

please do so! After all, in these uncertain times it’s all the more important to stay connected and

communicate with one another!!

That’s it for me this week. I hope you enjoy the videos and find time to practise your own conversation

skills. Have a wonderful day!

All the best, Bruce
