In this lesson you will learn how to exchange opinions in English. We will talk about asking
for people´s opinions, how to give your own and how to disagree with someone. Here are
some examples:
"What did you think of the movie?" "I think It was brilliant".
Watch
We are now going to watch a short movie. Tow friend went to see a film, and now that it is
just finished, they share their impression of the film. Listen to how they describe the movie.
Learn
Now let´s talk about the language of the movie. The friends do not agree with each other
about the movie. One friend asks the other for her opinion. Do you remember what she said?
We often used "think of" when we ask for an opinion. It is polite to use someone´s name
when asking a question. If you do this, put the name ay the beginning or at the end of the
question. "Jen, what did you think of the movie?" Or "What did you think of the movie, Jen?"
Her friend answered and she then asked: "How about you? What did you think?" "I think it
was brilliant".
When you answer, you don´t need the word "of". There are many ways to agree or disagree
with someone. In the movie you saw, a few useful expressions are used. The woman, Jen,
did not like the movie. She used a light phrases to disagree. For example, she said: "I don´t
know about that". "Huh, I guess so." "Really?" All of these are ways to suggest you have a
different opinion, even if you don´t say it.
Try
It is now your turn to practice speaking. I will show you part of the movie. Watch the people,
then listen to me and repeat what I say.
"Really?"
Review points
You have now practiced asking for opinions, and disagreeing politely.
"What did you think of the movie?" "I think it was brilliant."
Study points
Today´s lesson is about expressing feelings, in particular expressing fears. We´re also
going to talk about adjectives with prepositions.
English uses a lot of these prepositions.
Watch
Kirsten is telling Jen about what she is afraid of. Let´s watch.
Learn
Did you follow the conversation? Do you share the same feelings about speaking in public?
Now we are going to take a closer look at some of the grammar from the movie. The
grammar we will look at now is the compound formed by an adjective followed by a
preposition. For example, when the adjective "excited" is followed by the preposition
"about", we have "excited about". As in: "Kirsten was definitely not excited about her
presentation tomorrow". We have another common adjective preposition compound, and
that is the phrase "good at", as in "to be good at something". Our example here is "I´m not
good at public speaking".
Another such phrase is "surprised by", as in "I was surprised by her fear of public speaking".
Kirsten was telling Jane how she was afraid of public speaking. "Kirsten was afraid of public
speaking".
Our last example for this is "bored with", and to put in the context of Jen and Kirsten
conversation, we could say that "Jen was bored with Kirsten´s complaints".

Watch
We are now going to watch a movie about someone teaching a friend how to use the internet.
Learn
Now let´s take a closer look on the language used. Jane is giving Christine directions on how to
find the weather forecast online. And she takes Christine through the process step by step. She
starts by saying "you need to be connected to the internet".
Internet. The internet is a worldwide digital network that links smaller networks of computers,
such as in schools, organizations and governments and individual computers such as your own
PC, allowing information to be share. Once the internet is running Jane says to Christine
"choose a search engine from our list of favorites and type in some keywords".
Search engine. A search engine is a program used to help search information on the internet.
Spam. Spam is any kind of mail you don´t want. Spam is also call "junk mail".
Try
Now I want you to give me the description of these things related to the internet.
What is the name for a software program that lets a use of u Website on internet? (web browser
o just browser).
What kind of program can let you look for information on the internet? Jane tells Christine to
choose one from the list of favorites on her computer. (search engine).
And finally, how do we call junk email that nobody wants? (spam). Companies can spam people
for unwanted advertisement.
Review points
New terms are created all the time, but hopefully, now you understand a bit more.
Study points
In this lesson we will look at how articles like "a" and "the" are
used in common phrases in places names and for holidays. For
example "I had a great time traveling in the U.S.", "I had the time of my life in Australia".
Watch
You´re now going to watch a movie where two friends discuss cultures in different countries. After
the movie you´ll have a quick lesson and you will have the chance to practice the articles "the" and "a".
Learn
Now let´s look more closely at some of the words and phrases where articles like "a" and "the" are
used.
"In the West", "the time of my life", in these phrases we always use the definite article "the".
With the word "few", we often use the indefinite article "a". "A few days".
And there are some words and phrases were we never use an article at all. We don´t use any article
before most countries name and holidays. For example you can say: "We celebrate Christmas at my
house". "I love going to France".
Try
"Where does the sun set?" "The sun sets in the West".
How do you say you had a really excellent time? "I had the time of my life"
What do you know about these places? (Brazil and Egypt) Brazil: "My favorite coffee comes from
Brazil". Egypt: "Everyone knows the famous pyramids are in Egypt".
What do you know about these celebrations? (Easter and Halloween) Easter: "Easter is celebrated in the
spring". Halloween:" Halloween is very popular in the U.S." We do not use any articles before most
countries name and holidays.
Now, just when you thought it was clear, be careful, there are a few exceptions. Sometimes we need
"the" before a country name. Can you guess why? When the name includes "United", "Union" or
"Republic", you use the definite article "the".
Review points
Today we´ve talked about how to use the articles "a" and "the". We use "a" and "the" in common
phrases such as: "in the west", "I had the time of my life". We don´t use any article before most
country name and holidays: "My favorite coffee comes from Brazil". We also talked about exceptions
such as "the United States of America". Watch the movie again, for more examples using "a" and "the".
