Unit 8 Overview In this final unit of the book, the theme of “future” is explored in ways that are hopefully relevant to your students. They will have a chance to discuss their opinions on various life issues that they’ll be dealing with in the coming years. Because topics are broad and wide-ranging, the vocabulary introduced in the Model Sentences and Variation Vocabulary sections are designed to help students get discussions started. It will be up to them to show what they’ve learned over the course of this book to take conversations in personally meaningful ways. • Part 1 : Imagining life in five years • Part 2 : Discussing life issues • Part 3 : Dream jobs In each part, treatment for a limited number of specific life issues is provided, such as marriage, living at home, ideal qualities in a job, and parenthood. Vocabulary for a typical range of opinions is given. We encourage you to explore other issues of interest in a similar manner. Unit 8, Part 1 Overview In part 1 of this unit, which can be completed in about 60 minutes of class time , students will talk about their most recent meals: • What did you have for breakfast this morning? • Do you usually have that? In the Sounding Natural Note on page 96, students will learn how to use the simple “ Do you ever~? ” question pattern as a transition to new and interesting related topics. The embedded group writing task will help set students up for a final Speaking Time activity, in which a longer dialog is

constructed based on the follow-ups that everyone had come up with.
