Class aim/Objective: Describe your feelings and situations presenting a dialogue together
with a partner.
ADJECTIVES • Adjectives are words that describe or
modify another person or thing in the sentence
-ed
• Many adjectives that are formed with past participles (e.g. interested) describe a feeling or state.
• For example:
• I'm bored = I feel there is nothing that interests me at the moment.
More examples…
• 'I’m confused by the findings of the report.'
• 'She feels tired after working hard all day.'
-ing
• Many Adjectives formed from present participles (e.g interesting) describe the person, thing or topic which produces the feeling.
• For example:
• I'm boring = I'm a very uninteresting person.
More examples…
• 'Being upgraded to first class is surprising.'
• ‘The findings of this report are confusing.'
• 'Working hard all day is tiring.'
Remember that you are interested in
something, but it's the thing itself that is interesting.
What’s the movie like?
• In my opinion, I think the movie is…
• “Create a dialogue using adjectives that express your feelings in a certain situation, for example: in a movie, in the beach, in the street, etc.”
• For example:• Mike: Hello Leonore. How are you?
• Leonore: I’m tired, because I’ve been working all day.
• Mike: So, let me invite you a coke, and relax for a minutes.
• Leonore: Ok! That would be amazing.
• Mike: but are you interested in a coke or something else?
• Leonore: No, a coke is fine.
• Mike: Ok! See you then…
• Leonore: Ok, see you.
