• say where the action takes place
• try to make a summary of the plot if you can
• mention a few stunts and gadgets

Compare and contrast these James Bonds and say which one(s) you prefer, and why. Use comparatives (more, as… as…, too+adj, not+adj+enough…).

In class, the same teenagers are preparing a time capsule with their teacher. They must choose one object to bury in the capsule.

What objects did they choose? HERE.

INTERVIEW YOUR CLASSMATES

Now you chose objects that represent who you are, let’s share your ideas and ask each other questions: ‘What will you put in the time capsule? Do you like football? What are you into? Do you like cooking?’ 

READY? SET! GO!

Now you are ready to talk about your objects and describe your time capsule. 

Listen to the document HERE. It is a conversation.
