🗣️ VOCABULARY: Functional Vocabulary (Units 76–78)
🤝 Unit 76: Promises and Bets
Learn expressions for making and keeping promises — or taking risks and challenges.
🪶 Example: “I promise I’ll be there on time.” / “I bet you can’t finish that book in one day!”
💡 Tip: Use tone carefully — promises show commitment, while bets often sound playful or competitive.
🕰️ Unit 77: Reminiscences and Regrets
Talk about the past, sharing memories and expressing things you wish had been different.
🪶 Example: “I wish I had studied harder in school.” / “I remember visiting that place as a child.”
💡 Tip: For regrets, use wish + past perfect (e.g., I wish I had…). It shows something didn’t happen.
⚖️ Unit 78: Agreement, Disagreement, and Compromise
Develop polite ways to express opinions, agree, disagree, and find middle ground.
🪶 Example: “That’s true, but I see it differently.” / “We can agree to disagree.”
💡 Tip: Use softeners like perhaps, I’m not sure, or in my opinion — they make discussions more respectful.
✏️ GRAMMAR: Adverbial Clauses and Conjunctions (Units 82–84)
⚖️ Unit 82: Contrasts – although, even though, while, whereas
Learn to express opposing ideas smoothly.
🪶 Example: “Although it was raining, we went for a walk.”
💡 Tip: Although and even though are followed by a full clause — never by a noun or phrase alone.
🔮 Unit 83: If 1 – Real Conditions
Use if to talk about real or possible situations.
🪶 Example: “If it rains, we’ll stay inside.”
💡 Tip: Structure: If + present simple, will + base verb. It’s about real possibilities.
💭 Unit 84: If 2 – Unreal Conditions
Talk about imaginary or unlikely situations.
🪶 Example: “If I were you, I’d take the offer.”
💡 Tip: Structure: If + past simple, would + base verb. It’s about hypothetical situations, not real ones.
