Ss learn the difference between the present simple and present continuous. This builds on the work they did on the present continuous in Lesson 6A. The context is a listening where they listen to people talking about what they’d do if they had an ‘extra day’. Ss learn some phrasal verbs.
They also learn about the /t/ sound in connected speech. Then they do a speaking activity where they
discuss doing volunteer jobs.
