STEP THREE : the men who have played James Bond in the films.
Watch trailers and get ready to report :
- name the actor who plays Bond
- say who the bad guys are
- 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…).

TIMOTHY DALTON in Licence to Kill HERE.

DANIEL CRAIG in No Time to Die here.
STEP FOUR : Choose the next James Bond.
