OP <strong>25</strong> - GAPFILL - Ladies and Gentlemen…<br />
-<br />
This is straight out of the book: GN <strong>25</strong>.7. The idea is to give examples of false friends:<br />
"cliente" � client � customer<br />
"attualmente" � actually � at the moment<br />
"argomento" � argument � subject<br />
"società" � society � company<br />
"discussione" � discussion � argument<br />
Normal Gapfill procedure: several run-throughs, leaving out more and more each time. The first<br />
time can be somewhat slow / emphatic / deliberate; then try speeding up a little, each time you<br />
repeat it .<br />
As usual, some vocabulary (in SMALL CAPS) is passive, but much of this text also appears in CF <strong>25</strong>/4.<br />
Suggestion: listen to the way the speaker - a woman - does it on the Lesson Cassette.<br />
Ladies and Gentlemen, the title of my paper is: "The Customer is Always Right". At the moment, this<br />
is a very important subject that everyone has strong views about, ESPECIALLY in big companies. So I'm<br />
not going to say very much. Keep this in MIND - only this: listen to their opinions. Instead of having an<br />
ARGUMENT, have a friendly DISCUSSION. That's all I have to say. Thank you for your attention.<br />
Possible segue:<br />
OP <strong>25</strong> - CLOSE-UP - Present perfect with "already"<br />
- Let's practise using "already"…<br />
"Already" with the present perfect is in GN 24.2. This also revises the forms of irregular verbs.<br />
Note that "already" can also come in final position. This is mentioned in GN 24.2<br />
IMAGINE that you've got some information that I don't know about…<br />
When is John leaving for Canada?<br />
What time is Patricia arriving?<br />
Has Frank finally decided to sell his old car?<br />
I think it's time to do your Written Test now…<br />
Well, then, we can do the Oral Test…<br />
In that case, I'd like to see your Homework Book…<br />
By the way, when are you going to do your Lex 20?<br />
Let's IMAGINE some different situations…<br />
When are you going to call the manager?<br />
When are you going to write a letter to the President?<br />
When are you going to do the dishes?<br />
Remember to take your car to the mechanic.<br />
Remember to take those books back to the library…<br />
Please let me know when the postman comes…<br />
Please let me know when Ms Ellis is going home. (
