OPTIONAL

Developing conversations. How's the course going?

Look at the answers 1-6 to the question How's the course going? Two words in each answer are in the wrong position. Underline them. For example,

Really well. I'm really progress it. I can't believe how much enjoying I've already made.

1. I've had a few ups and supportive of course, but the tutors have been really helpful and downs.

2. Quite well, actually. The seminar can be a bit boring, but the lectures work in groups is great.

3. OK, but I've got my final revision next week, so I'm having to do lots of exams at the moment.

4. OK, but I'm really busy. I have to hand in an deadline next week - and if I miss the essay, I'll fail.

5. Actually, I'm struggling at the moment. I just can't demanding with the workload. It's really cope.

6. To be honest, I'm finding it really term. The modules I'm doing this difficult are really hard.

Work in pairs. Take turns asking 'How's the course going?' Give different answers each time.
