2.4. Imagine you find your diary from a few years ago. As you leaf through it, you find different entries beginning with the following sentences. Continue each entry, e.g.

Life is boring … – I’m studying every evening for my exam. Meanwhile all my mates are going out and enjoying themselves. Dominic’s not talking to me any more either. I’m not having any fun at all.

Spring is here … I need a holiday …
My new job is exciting … We don’t get on any more …

  Saturday Sunday

Make arrangements with a partner for the remaining times in you diary, e.g.

A: Are you doing anything on Saturday afternoon?

B: Yes. I’m having dinner with my agent.

A: Oh. What about Sunday evening?

B: Uhm … No. I’m free then.

A: Would you like to come to the cinema?

B: OK. What do you want to see?

A: I’ve heard about this great film …

2.8. Annoying habits

In pairs, think of someone you know with annoying habits. Tell your partner about him/her. Give each other some advice about how to deal with this person, e.g.

A: I hate him! He’s always teasing me!

B: You should just ignore him.

 

2.9. In the box below there are some adjectives that describe a person. Write a sentence with each of the adjectives about a person’s bad habits, e.g. anti-social – He’s always playing loud music until the early hours of the morning.

argumentative boring bossy careless

Read out your sentence and see if anyone can guess the adjective.
