Imagine

 


Do you think Lennon's ideas can lead to world peace?

Imagine your life with excellent English.  What are you going to do?  Describe your life.


Like My Father (Warning: some sexy language - mild by US standards)

 I always enjoy when my students show me a new song.  Thanks!


Please write about your family.  Do you have a big family?  

Do you think this young woman will find the man she describes?  Are there more important things that a man should do?  Did you/Do you want to marry a man like your father?


The Devil Doesn't Bargain

 


What would a partner have to do to make you call him or her "Devil?"  Describe a terrible friend, partner, or spouse.

I'll be missing ...

 This tribute to B.I.G. has expressions from US dialects I don't  teach because they aren't good for college essays or job interviews.  In a formal situation, say "I'll miss you" rather than "I'll be missing you."


If it won't make you sad, describe some foods and people that you miss right now.

International Day of Charity

 Can you write what is happening in the video?  Although this video was made for world kindness day, I think it's better for International Day of Charity.


 What is charity?  Do you support any charities?  What charities will you support when you become rich?
