Homework: Write an email to a friend to ask advice about whether you should try an extreme sport (it can be the one you invented in class or a “traditional” one). Then write a response from the friend, giving advice (you can use second conditional “If I were you” sentences).

You can do this with a partner (each of you should ask the other for advice and then respond to the other person’s email). Send me the response email at [email protected].

part 6 - In groups of 3, answer the questions.

part 5 - Which word doesn’t fit? Why?
1 plane (the others are places to stay), (or “home”, because it’s where you live and the others are related to travel)
2 heal (the others are parts of a medical exam)
3 mirror (the others are natural)
4 pain (the others are people)
---
part 7 - Choose the correct option for each piece of advice.
1 get (“should” + base form)
2 call (“had better” + base form)
3 going (“worth” is a preposition, + gerund)
4 taking (“try” + gerund = do this thing and see if it helps)
5 put (“I’d” = “I would”, and “would” + base form)

If I were you, I’d put some lotion on it. (“I would”)
It didn’t hurt any more because I’d put some lotion on it. (“I had”)
