Juan It’s much more better than I’d imagined. I really like it. Yesterday we had studied a lot of new words called slang. Maria That sounds too interesting. What’s your host family like? Juan They’re very nice. The house is big but there is so many furniture in my room that I can’t move. And they have given me a key and told me that I don’t have to come home after 1100 at night. Maria That’s really annoying. You mustn’t forget taking your key when you go out. Anyway, I wanted to ask you – are you free next Saturday to come to my party? Juan Yes, definitely. Can I bring two friends from my class? Maria Of course! I’m looking forward for meeting them. Juan Great. I am sure you’ll like them much. Maria OK. I’d better go and make my homework. I’ll call you before the next Saturday. CONTINUED TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE: LCTE7900 Page 3 1
EXAMPLE CORRECT FORM: It should be ‘What do you think about your new school’ because we use the present simple with the stative verb to think when you want to express an opinion.
