Homework:

1. Extra practice: Write some sentences that are true for you: First think of which structure you need to use for each pair.

• 2 sentences describing your present habits.
• 2 sentences describing past habits that you don’t do anymore.
• 2 negative sentences about past habits.
• 2 questions about someone else’s past habits.
• 2 sentences describing a situation that was difficult in the past but is OK now.
• 2 sentences describing a situation that you are becoming accustomed to.

2. Self Study: Vampire stories are currently very popular both at the cinema (The Twilight Trilogy, Let The Right One In) and on T.V. (True Blood). Why do you think people are still fascinated by these stories and why do you think they are particularly popular now?
