Summary
What have we learned today?
Listening Strategy
Core Concepts
Functional Language
Key Takeaway
We mastered the ‘Making Predictions’technique. This skill helps us focus on key information while listening, improving overall comprehension.
We explored the universality of stress, identified its common causes , and discussed practical steps to recognize and address stress .
We practiced expressing preferences with nuanced vocabulary: from mild likes (‘quite like’) to strong dislikes (‘can’t stand’), enhancing our ability to communicate personal opinions naturally.
Stress is a normal—not a sign of weakness. The key takeaway is that understanding stress is the first step to developing healthy coping mechanisms and building resilience.

Now it's your turn to practice. Work with a partner. Talk about the stress you often feel and share the activities you like or dislike to help you relax. Use the phrases we just learned. I'll ask some pairs to share their conversations with the class.
