C1 That´s English Choices Unit 8

 


What do you  usually do when you need to make an important decision?

Moving abroad for work

Dropping out of university to pursue a career in music

Moving in with your significant other

Opening your own business

 

Moving abroad for work

Pros:                                                                                      Cons:                                                              

more money                                                                            leaving your friends and family

new experience                                                                       difficult to adapt to new conditions

improve your language                                                        language barrier

a better job                                                                              loneliness

personal development                                                          risk

learning about new cultures


  If you move abroad for work you might earn more money, however, it might be difficult to adapt to new living conditions.


More ways to contrast ideas: on the other hand, whereas, but, although, nevertheless

Speculationsmay, could, maybe, perhaps

Discuss their lists of pros and cons with a partner. 

Check whether there are more pros or cons on each list and whether it is a good idea to take the decision.

Optional follow-up /homework: students write a short composition about one of the decisions e.g. “Would you move abroad for work?”.

SPEAKING


______________________________________________________________




If I had to teach Spanish to a person who knew nothing about the language

If someone pays me a compliment

If I had been born in the 17th century

If I had lived in another country when I was in high school

If I won a lot of money

If my car had been stolen yesterday

If I go out this weekend

If you had asked me for $100 last week

Most people would be a lot happier if

Were you to ask me to help you cheat on the next exam

If men had babies instead of women

If I could change one thing about my life right now

If I could have any job in the world

If I had been born 10 years earlier

If I could meet someone famous

If my best friend had gotten into a lot of trouble
