part 2 - Complete the interview with the simple present or present continuous forms of the verbs.
1 does this championship mean
  am not thinking, am concentrating, am doing
2 What influences (subject question - “What” is the subject, so no do/does)
  hear, makes (this is true every time -> simple present)
3 Do you train
  am doing, get
4 is affecting
  changes, are trying

part 4 - Tell your partner about things you do with each frequency or at these times.

Note: “always” and “usually” often need more information to make sense:
I always shower. = 24/24 hours per day?, 7/7 days per week?, 52/52 weeks per year?
I always shower in the morning.
(“always” = 100% and “usually” > 50%, but we need to understand, 100% of what? 50% of what?)

I always use my phone in class. = I use my phone at least once during each class.
I am always using my phone in class. = I use my phone constantly during class.

I always speak in class. - Good, because everyone should speak when we practice English.
I’m always speaking in class. - Not good, because it means you are speaking even when you shouldn’t.
