Welcome!

Welcome to this lesson, everyone!

It is best to do this individually.

On the next slide you find a video clip.

Theory

Have a look at what other expressions you could use to express your opinion or point of view.

Exercise 2

Do you agree with the following statement?

"All school holidays during the school year should be abolished, but added to the summer holiday."

So, do you agree to have an extra long summer holiday instead of the weeks you sometimes have during the school year or not?

Make your point of view clear in at least five sentences in which you use an expression from the theory box.

You do this in a Word document and upload it on your school platform.

We can also use modal verbs to express an opinion.

What are modal verbs, I can hear you think.

Well, when you click on the speaker image, you can hear some examples of sentences with modal verbs.
