Classes 19-20. Monday-Wednesday 24-26/11

Hello

Last week we started a new topic "Communication". We read a text about teenage problems in communication and learnt some expressions:
to change one´s mind
to cope with
nosy
panic
last-minute arrangements
is you can´t beat them, join them

Can you think of your own examples with these phrases? Write them in the comments!

We also learnt different ways expressing future (plans):
Future Simple: will + Infinitive for decisions made at the time of speaking
Tomorrow´s our mum´s birthday! - Really? I´ll buy her some flowers!(it´s just occured to me now)

Present Continuous: for future arrangements
On Friday I´m flying to New York. (it´s already arranged - I´ve got a ticket)

going to: for future plans
What are you going to do at the weekend? - I´m going to visit my parents in the villige. (a plan)

might + Infinitive: for a plan which is undecided
I might go to the mountains this winter. (maybe I´ll go or maybe not)
