Tuesday
Today we are going to focus on essay writing. To start off we will work in pairs to design The Best Friend. We will also watch a video and talk about friendships during the teenage years.
- How would you define a «perfect» friend? What qualities do you think are most important in a friendship during adolescence compared to during childhood?
- In what ways do friendships during adolescence influence a teenager’s identity? Provide examples.
- How can friendships both positively and negatively influence decisions made by teenagers? Share your thoughts on the concept of peer pressure.
- How do friendships change during the teenage years? What factors contribute to these changes?
- What role does social media play in shaping friendships during the teenage years? Do you think it enhances or hinders genuine connections? Why?
We will then examine the task and example answer on pages 20-21. We will discuss the conventions of the task and how to structure our work. We’ll reference the CAE writing guide too.
Homework:
Write your own answer to the essay task on page 20
