C1 - 2B. Extreme sports
Extreme sports - also called Action Sports - are just not like mainstream sports. Past and present they are crawling with rebels, riders, drivers and rock stars. It's not about uniforms, coaches or scripts.
Expressing yourself through action is the key it’s an attitude, a way of life, even a religion. Once you're in, you're in for life.

C1 That´s English Choices Unit 8
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
Speculations: may, 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?”.

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 |
