Welcome back everybody. I hope you all had a lovely time over the festive period! Today we will start off class with some general discussion about our breaks, and also New Year’s resolutions. This will include how they started, some of the most typical resolutions, and if we have made any. We will then look at some questions from part 1 of the speaking exam that are all connected to future plans, as well as a question from part 3 of the exam about making big decisions.

Homework:
- Read part of an email from a friend who is planning to come and live in your country.
Of course, I’d really need to learn the language. I know you’ve been learning English for years, so you’ve had loads of experience. Are there any tricks of the trade that might help me pick up your language a bit more quickly?
Reply to the email message offering your friend some advice. Write your email in 220-260 words in an appropriate style.
