LANGUAGE FOCUS: TALKING ABOUT THE PAST

1.Have you ever been abroad? If so, what special difficulties did you
experience?

2. What ambitions do you harbour? Do you think they will be too great to fulfil?
Have you ever given up any ambitions you had? What were the reasons?

3. Who usually takes you out to dinner or lunch? How often do they?

4. Did your parents use to read you a story at bedtime? If so, what stories do
you remember them telling you? Do you think this is something positive? Do
bedtime stories encourage people to read later in life?

5. When you were a little child, did your parents let you watch everything on
TV? What kind of programs or films were you NOT allowed to watch? Do you
remember any films in particular?
