Birthdays

 

Do you enjoy parties?

Do you like birthdays?

What were your important birthdays?

Happiness

 

What do you do when you would like to feel better?

I read and eat crunchy food.  I call my friends.  I take a walk.  I sometimes go swimming.  I sometimes go shopping.

Do you like to dress up?

We say "dress up" both for costumes and beautiful formal clothes.

Kids and adults in the US often wear costumes on Halloween.  My children liked to do theater so they dressed up in costumes when they were actors.

 Did you ever wear a costume?  I had a great glow-in-the-dark ghost costume in fifth grade.   

Some people dress up for parties.  What do you usually wear to parties?  What was your best outfit ever?

Right where we are

 

Are you in a relationship?  If yes, how old were you when you met?  What do you like to do together?

If no, describe a good partner for you.  

Frequency

We use frequency adverbs to talk about how often things occur or repeat.

(Don't forget to write sentences with FAs for homework!)

I often teach my classes to put frequency adjectives before most verbs, but after the verb "to be" because that's how we usually speak them in the USA.

It's okay, however, to start or end a sentence with a frequency adverb especially to emphasize the frequency in poetry, lyrics, or writing.

Kahoot: Adverbs of Frequency

How often can you speak or listen to English?  When can you speak or listen to English?  How often do you have fun?  What fun things do you do?

Dance

 

I love to dance, but I don't usually dance at parties.  I am excited that my student picked this as a favorite song because I sometimes do a line dance to "Dance Monkey."  Some of my classmates won a prize in the 2019 Senior Olympics by dressing up as monkeys and doing this dance.

Do you like to dance?  How often do you dance?  What's your favorite kind of dance?  Do you like to watch dancing?  Did you ever take dancing lessons?

All of Me

 

Are you in a romantic relationship?  

(If Yes)  How did you meet your current partner?  Do you do any small things for the person you love?

  

(If No)  Do you like to talk about family?  Can you describe how you met a good friend? How do you stay in touch with old friends?
