1. I am welcoming the Ss, asking how they are and sharing my screen showing the photo of the University of Patras and the question "Are Universities free in your country? If not, how much do they cost?" 2. I'm telling Ss that in Greece universities are free and government also provides us with coursebooks. Only, some master degrees have fees but not very expensive. On the PhD level there are no fees but sometimes is difficult to get a scholarship. 3. "What about you guys?" (Ask 2 students)

1. "Now we're going to listen to 5 friends talking about education in their country. Listen and count how many of them think education should be free. (3: Amy, Carol and Ben) Audio 48 CD1. I'm sharing my screen from the word doc Text (3 min) 2. "Perfect. Now this is the transcript of the audio.

"So, these are the phrases we use. Do you agree?" (Yes) "Do you have any question? (Ss: Yes, that's true and exactly are ways to agree, right? T: Yes they are but it's not target language for today)

1. I show the material where they Ss have already put into categories the exponents and I ask Which words show us an opinion? (think) Which words show that we have the same opinion with someone else? (agree, definitely yes, you're right, I think so) Which words do we use when we have different opinions? (disagree, definitely not, I'm sorry I don't agree, I'm not sure about that) Which is a polite way to disagree? ( I'm not sure about that) Which is a very strong disagreement, maybe impolite?

First you have to produce the correct phrases putting the words in order. Let's do together the first one Sury. (What do you think about that, George?) 3. Then you have a text with gaps. There are 4 conversations. You have to fill the gaps with the phrases in the box. Let's do the first one (I'm sorry I don't agree. I'm writing that in the question 1 below the photo) (5-6 min) 5.
