This unit will help you review phrases you learned in units 3 and 5 of this course.
This course uses spaced review, meaning you don't review what you just learned. Rather, you review what you learned a few lessons ago.
Without looking back in your notes, try to remember a few phrases from units 3 and 5 in this course.
If you need help, your instructor can guide you.
Make sure to select the phrases you want to use, then keep practicing them until you are absolutely confident.
It is not necessary for students to remember all the points in each unit, but they should remember at least two or three.
Everyone has words and phrases they enjoy using. Make sure your student's favorite phrases are not just things they learned in high school, but are sophisticated phrases that leave a good impression.
It is recommended to choose only a few phrases in total to add to the student's active vocabulary. Practicing a few phrases many times will ensure they can use the phrases under pressure.
