Lesson goals

By the end you will…

  • Use the article system correctly: A / AN (new / one of many), THE (specific / already known / unique), and ZERO article (general plurals & uncountables, most proper nouns).
  • Recognise and use fixed collocation word pairs (freedom of speech, law and order, salt and pepper, sooner or later…).
  • Pause and stress the right words in longer sentences so listeners follow the meaning.
  • Talk about free speech online, cancel culture, hate speech and press freedom without over-simplifying.
  • Write a balanced short opinion piece with clear connectors.
