In this lesson, students develop their conversational skills by talking about life events. The students start by discussing the lead-in questions and then, using pictures, make predictions and identify collocations used to describe life events. They then focus on the meaning, form and pronunciation of the phrases and complete a series of practice activities before learning and using time phrases to describe past events. The students then hear the language in context by listening to someone telling their life story and completing a comprehension task. Using the example answer as a model, they then consolidate and personalize the language from the lesson by planning and retelling their life journeys (by Victoria Aitken).

Simon’s life
I was born in 1987 in a small town outside San Francisco, California in the USA. I was the second child. My brother, Pete is two years older than me.
I think I started school when I was five, or maybe it was six. My elementary and high schools were both in San Francisco. I really enjoyed school. My favorite subject was Modern Languages and I studied French and German.
Then, in 2007, I moved to London to study for a language degree and graduated in 2010. I had a fun time at university and made some great friends.
After that, I traveled around Europe with some friends for six months. We bought a train pass and had the most amazing, carefree summer.
When I returned to London in 2011, I found a fantastic job as a translator for a hospital. I worked there for six years and then I started my own online business.
Five years ago, I moved back to California and bought a small cottage in the countryside. I wanted to move away from city life.
