“As a child, I never imagined that one day a man would walk on the moon.”
                How would you finish this sentence? As a child, I never imagined that one day… / I can’t imagine that one day…


“This year we marked another important anniversary”
                What anniversaries or events would you mention as ones worth remembering at the end of the year?

“The challenges many people face today may be different to those once faced by my generation, but I have been struck by how new generations have brought a similar sense of purpose to issues such as protecting our environment and our climate.”
                What other challenges do you / does your generation face in the near future?

“My family and I are also inspired by the men and women of our emergency services and armed forces; and at Christmas, we remember all those on duty at home and abroad, who are helping those in need and keeping us and our families safe and secure.”
                Who are the heroes of 2019 for you?
                Did you help or did you hear about any kinds of help of those in need?
                How can we help those in need?

“The path, of course, is not always smooth, and may at times this year have felt quite bumpy, but small steps can make a world of difference.”
                How would you characterise the year 2019? What was it like?
                Do you agree that 2019 was bumpy? Why?
                What should happen in 2020 to make a difference in your life / in your generation’s life?

Christmas movies

First, you are going to watch a short film clip. After viewing the clip you have to write down as many visual things as you can remember. You  might mention objects or people, with descriptions, processes, actions or even more abstract things such as emotions or concepts.

Choose one or two of these visual details to make into questions. For example: What colour scarf was Kevin wearing? What does Kevin put under the carpet? What does he pour on the front steps? How many buckets of paint did he pick up?
