Unit 3, Part 2 Overview In part 2 of this unit, which can be completed in about 60 minutes of class time , students will talk about what they like and don’t like about their hometowns. As a result, this lesson focuses primarily in helping students express their personal opinions about where they live, about how to give some basic reasons for why they like or don’t like something: • Do you like living in ~ ? • How about the people / the weather? The Transitions conversation strategy is the focus of the Sounding Natural Note on page 47. Here students will see how the simple question pattern “ How about ~? ” is actually a simple and powerful way of adding smoothness to the way one speaks. Wrapping up the lesson is a traditional interview speaking task, where students will need to collect information about where their classmates are from.
