Unit 5: I like that!


Grammar for writing: Subject, verb, (object), adverbial (time/place)


Go through the information in the box. Explain how time and place phrases are used at the end and beginnings of sentences. Ask students to underline the time and place phrases in the text (Letter 1). After a few minutes, use a visual medium to show the marked- up text with underlining so that students can correct their own work.

Dear Sir, My name is Alexio. I was born in Porto, in the north of Portugal, in 1988. I come from Portugal, but my parents are Chinese. I am fluent in both languages because I speak them at home and at work. My English skills are also good. My interest in healthcare goes back a long way. My dad was a plastic surgeon in London. He started his job in the 1980s. My mother was a registered nurse in the same hospital. Healthcare is also a passion for me. Between 2006 and 2008, after high school, I travelled a lot and visited many countries in Asia, South America and China. I wanted to discover how healthcare worked in these places. I worked as an intern in China. I got a job as a chemotherapy nurse in 2012. Now I work as the manager of a chemotherapy ward. I love my job. I don’t want to earn lots of money – I just want to enjoy my life and work. I look forward to hearing from you. Alexio

Students read Letter 2. They discuss and answer the questions.


Answers 1. She was born in Canada. 2. She got a job as a carer for old people. 3. She worked in a small community clinic in a Paris hospital.


4. She loves working in a team.

Focus students on the blue phrases in Letter 2 – these are useful phrases to use when writing a letter of application. Letter 1 has a similar structure to Letter 2. Individually, students write their letter of application. Spend some time on deciding with them which jobs they would want to apply for (by, for instance, looking online or in the classified or vacancy section of newspapers or trade magazines).


Remind students to check for things like:


• verbs in the correct tense • correct prepositions • correct SVO order • correct placement of adjectives (before the noun) • correct use of a, an, the or – • capital letters for names and countries


I


Students exchange letters with a partner, who reads and corrects the letter. Students then revise and rewrite their own letters.
