4 - got through it

5 - talk it over

Phrasal verbs - things to remember

1. You can't always figure out the meaning just by looking at
   the separate words: fall = herfst/vallen 
    but: You don't want to fall behind on your HW = achter raken
   
2. Can have multiple meanings: take off
   Take off your jacket, please. = remove (= uittrekken)
   The plane is going to take off soon. = depart/leaves (= vertrekken)
   
3. = look at the context!
4. some are separable = scheidbaar -> I need to put on my dress.
                                                           -> I need to put my dress on.
   

What do you need to know?

Go to Magister ELO Studiewijzer => Word List => Phrasal verbs

You need to memorize and be able to use them in sentences :)

• Pick your practice:
• Quizlet OR Gimkit

Let's get opinionated

Keep your workbook and laptop on your table please :)

In pairs or groups of 4, discuss and give your opinion on these topics.

8.7 writing

Goal: I can use linkers and write a simple (online) piece giving my opinion.

Imagine that you're browsing on newsfocus.com & come across this post. 

Read it & write down whether you (dis)agree and why on paper.

Then, open WB, p 111 & do exercises 2 - 4 alone & quietly.

8.7: Writing an opinion

To make sure our opinion flows well and is supported by facts/examples, we need to use linkers:

1. Give your opinion: I think... / Personally, I don't think... / I believe... /
2. Add further points (=facts, examples): In fact, ... / I also agree that ...
   I also think that... / What is more ...
3. Give an opposite opinion: On the one hand (+ argument)...On the other hand (- argument), I strongly disagree ... However, ...
4. Conclusion: Therefore... / So... / That's why... / For this reason...

Language Focus 

& Write

Before you write your own opinion piece, let's look at the Language Focus: structures with 'make'

= always takes an object + infinitive (ww) w/out to or an adjective/noun:
... made me think ...
... makes them tired ...

• Now, try to write your own opinion piece/comment (ex. 7) in Word.

do ex 6 in pairs + discuss the statements

Does social media make you happy?
Copy your opinion piece/comment here

I can use linkers and write an opinion piece

Yes! I used at least 3 linkers and also gave facts/examples!

Yes, but I think my opinion was too short...

Not really because I procrastinated

Not really because I need your help

Do you ...

... know how to express your opinion in English?

... know how to use linkers?

... know how to study and memorize the Phrasal verbs?

TO DO: study 8.6 & 8.7
