This activity has two purposes.

The first purpose is to improve listening accuracy. Learners can often understand the general meaning of a video but still not hear and understand many of the words that are said. This is because native speakers tend to say the functional words unclearly. (eg. don't know, going to, want to, can't, must have) This activity is designed to help learners improve their ability to hear these words.

TIP: Learners should listen, and then try to repeat exactly what they hear. Then they should click "Show" and read the sentence. After reading the sentence, learners should listen again and try to hear each word.

The second purpose is to improve pronunciation.

TIP: Learners should listen to and read the sentences at the same time. Then learners should try to copy the pronunciation and intonation of the speaker exactly.

TIP: Exaggerating the intonation and feeling of the speaker is useful. It may feel awkward or funny, but it will help you sound more natural.
Escuchar y Repetir
Esta actividad tiene dos propósitos separados.

El primer propósito es mejorar la precisión auditiva. Los estudiantes a menudo pueden comprender el significado general de un video, pero aún no escuchan ni comprenden muchas de las palabras que se dicen. En particular, los hablantes nativos tienden a decir las palabras funcionales (p. Ej., No sé, voy a, quiero, no puedo, debe haberlo hecho) de manera poco clara. Esta actividad está diseñada para ayudar a los alumnos a mejorar su capacidad para escuchar estas palabras.

CONSEJO: Los alumnos deben escuchar y luego intentar repetir exactamente lo que se dijo. Luego deben hacer clic en "Show" y leer la oración. Después de leer la oración, los alumnos deben volver a escuchar e intentar escuchar cada palabra.

El segundo propósito es mejorar la pronunciación.

CONSEJO: Los alumnos deben escuchar y leer las oraciones al mismo tiempo. Luego, los alumnos deben intentar copiar la pronunciación y la entonación del hablante.

CONSEJO: Es útil exagerar la entonación y el sentimiento del hablante. Puede parecer incómodo o divertido, pero te ayudará a sonar más natural.
듣고 따라하기
이 액티비티에는 두 가지 목적이 있습니다.

첫 번째 목적은 청취 정확도를 높이는 것입니다. 학생들은 종종 비디오의 일반적인 의미를 이해할 수 있지만 여전히 많은 단어를 듣고 이해하지 못합니다. 특히 원어민은 기능적 단어 (예 : 모르겠다, 갈 것, 갖고 싶어, 가질 수 없어야 한다)를 불분명하게 말하는 경향이 있습니다. 이 액티비티는 학습자가 이러한 단어를 듣는 능력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 고안되었습니다.

팁 : 학습자는 듣고 나서 말한 내용을 정확하게 반복해야 합니다. 그들은"Show"를 클릭하고 문장을 읽어야 합니다. 문장을 읽은 후 학습자는 다시 듣고 각 단어를 들어야 합니다.

두 번째 목적은 발음을 향상시키는 것입니다.

팁 : 학습자는 동시에 문장을 듣고 읽어야 합니다. 그런 다음 학습자는 화자의 발음과 억양을 따라 해 보아야 합니다.

팁 : 화자의 억양과 느낌을 과장하는 것이 유용합니다. 어색하거나 재미있게 느껴질 수 있지만 더 자연스럽게 들리는 데 도움이 됩니다.
Ouvir e repetir

Esta atividade tem dois propósitos.

O primeiro objetivo é melhorar a precisão auditiva. Os alunos geralmente podem entender o significado geral de um vídeo, mas ainda não ouvem e entendem muitas das palavras que são ditas. Isso ocorre porque os falantes nativos tendem a dizer as palavras funcionais de forma pouco clara. (por exemplo, não sei, vou, quero, não posso, devo ter) Esta atividade é projetada para ajudar os alunos a melhorar sua capacidade de ouvir essas palavras.

DICA: os alunos devem ouvir e tentar repetir exatamente o que ouviram. Em seguida, deveriam clicar em "Mostrar" e ler a frase. Depois de ler a frase, os alunos devem ouvir novamente e tentar ouvir cada palavra.

O segundo objetivo é melhorar a pronúncia.

DICA: os alunos devem ouvir e ler as frases ao mesmo tempo. Em seguida, os alunos devem tentar copiar exatamente a pronúncia e a entonação do falante.

DICA: É útil exagerar na entonação e no sentimento do falante. Pode parecer estranho ou engraçado, mas ajudará você a soar mais natural.

Grammar:

Read the rules and do the tasks

https://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/grammar/a1-a2-grammar/adverbs-frequency

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
We use adverbs of frequency - like sometimes or usually - to say how often we do things, or how often things happen.
I never have any problems with adverbs of frequency.

OK, let's see what you know. We use adverbs of frequency in this order, according to their meaning.

Are there any missing?

I think that's most of them. You could include frequently, with usually. We use not very often too.

Very good, you're right. These are the most common adverbs, although there are more.
They always hang out together.
The Northern Lights areusually green.
Younormally see them best in September or March.
It'soften cloudy.
What do you notice about the position of the adverbs?

They are usually before the main verb, or between the auxiliary and the main verb. But they come after the verb to be.

Excellent! Can they also be at the beginning or the end of the sentence?

Yes, I think so. ' Sometimes I'm alone.' That sounds OK.

Yes, we can use some adverbs of frequency at the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis.
Occasionally I meet her for a coffee.
We can use usually, often, sometimes and occasionally at the beginning of a sentence, and sometimes and often at the end. We use adverb expressions like a lot or not + (very) much after the main verb too.

Be careful with never. It is already negative, so we can't use it with not.
I never go to the supermarket with my mother.
I've just remembered some more expressions! What about once a week, twice a year, etc.?

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about those.
Take the medicine three times a day.
Weusually go swimming twice a month.
You see themonce in a lifetime, if you travel.
You see, I'm not always annoying.

OK, sorry. I'm not always right either. Usually, but not always!

2. Follow the link and click 'GRAMMAR TEST'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The verb in Present Simple is very important. We use with this tense all the time. Because there are so many things we can say by using the verb to be!

For example, we can describe the age of a person:

This boy is 8 years old.

My grandfather is 77 years old.

I am six, I am two years older than my brother! Because he is only four!

By using to be we can inform about the profession/occupation of a person:

My mom is a teacher.

I am the best student in my school.

John is an airplane pilot.

We can say that someone or something is in someplace.

We can describe the state, behavior, mood, character of someone or something. And even much more!

The verb to be does not mean action. To be means to exist in some place or some state. We use to be in the Present Simple to connect the subject with an adjective or noun or pronoun.

There are so many things we can say using the verb to be in the Present Simple! That is why it is very important to be able to use this verb correctly.

What are Three Forms of To Be in Present Simple?

To be in the Present Simple has three forms:

Which form we use depends on the subject:

What are the Formulas for Sentences with To be in Present Simple?

To form a positive, interrogative (question), or negative sentence with the verb to be, we cannot use the same rules that we use for other verbs in the Present Simple.

The verb to be forms positive, question, and negative sentences according to its own special rules without the help of the auxiliary verbs do or does.

Positive Sentenses

To form an affirmative sentence, we put to be after the subject. Then we put an adjective or a noun or a pronoun.
Subject + am / is / are
Negative Sentences

What is the sort form of To Be in Present Simple?

In English, it is customary to use the contracted forms of the verb to be. Therefore, we abbreviate the verb to be in the Present Simple as follows:
Positive: Negative:
When using the short form, you should note that some short forms of to be in the Present Simple look exactly the same as the short form of to be in the Past Simple.

For example:

He's - He is in the Present Simple.
He's - He was in the Past Simple.

We're - We are in the Present Simple.
We're - We were in the Past Simple.

In some situations, this can confuse your interlocutor. The meaning of such a sentence may be misunderstood.

For example, look at the following sentence:

She's my friend!

It may not be clear from such a sentence what you are trying to say. That she is my friend now? Or she was my friend in the past?

In order not to confuse your interlocutor, you can use the full form of the verb to be. Or you can add context to such a sentence from which it becomes clear that you are talking about the past or about the present.

She's my friend, we spend all the time together.

She's my friend, we spent all the time together when we went to school 10 years ago.

Now, after we have added additional context, we can see that in the first sentence we use to be in the Present Simple. In the second example, this is to be in the Past Simple.

Common Mistakes with To Be in Present Simple

In this part, let's take a look at the most common mistakes you can come across when you use the verb to be in the Present Simple.

1) One of the main mistakes is the use of an incorrect form of the verb to be. It mainly happens due to the fact that the verb to be has three forms in the present simple.

Also, students often make mistakes when using pronouns such as:

These pronouns almost always imply one person. Therefore, we use the form of the verb to be is.

Sometimes students make mistakes using the future or past form of the verb to be in the present simple. Let's see what all forms of the verb to be look like.

Present:

Future:

Past:

2) Sometimes students make a mistake using auxiliary verbs with the verb to be to form a question or negative sentence in the Present Simple. Remember that to be is a special verb and does not need auxiliary verbs like do or does.

Incorrect: Does he is your friend?
Incorrect: Does he your friend?
Correct: Is he your friend?

Incorrect: They don't are my classmates.
Incorrect: They don't my classmates.
Correct: They are not my classmates.

Incorrect: I don't tired.
Incorrect: I am don't tired.
Correct: I am not tired.

3) Another mistake is when students use incorrect forms of the verb to be when answering questions in Present Simple.

In this case, students are mistakenly guided by the form of the verb to be in the question. Although in some cases we have to change this form because in the answer we can use a different pronoun.

Question: Are you tired?
Answer: Yes, I am. (Not Yes I are).

We used are in the question because we used the pronoun you. But in the answer, we used the pronoun I. We cannot use are with the pronoun I. We use am.

Here are some more examples in which you can see the same error:

Question: Am I your friend?
Answer: Yes, you are my friend! (NOT: Yes, you am my friend!)

Question: Am I weird to you?
Answer: No, you are not weird to me! (NOT No, you am not weird to me!)
