School for All

infoWhy this? School is a familiar context in which we can discuss subjects, preferences, facilities, timetables, and daily routines. The unit develops practical communication by combining opinions and reasons with time, place, sequencing, and future intentions.

scheduleWhy now? Earlier units established opinions, adjective use, articles, and descriptions of places and activities. We now bring these elements together in a sustained topic and extend them through daily routines and the near future tense.
