       You PAY HOMAGE TO someone you admire. Eg. The film pays homage to the television show Friends.

    • A younger woman helps an elderly woman with her mobile phone. This short movie is a nice picture of how technology affects people and relationships across generations.

       

      Vocabulary: to unlock your mobile, the star button, the menu button, to go to the main menu, to text, to enter your PIN, to scroll up/down, to select, to press a button, to delete or to get rid of it, to predict or to be predictive

      Answer these questions:

      1. Pay attention to how the younger woman gives instructions to the older woman. How would you describe using your tablet, computer or other pieces of technology to someone who didn't know how to use them?

      2. How would you describe the young woman?

      3. What is the message of this movie?


    • Watch this video.

      Let me know if there's something you don't understand.


    • Do these exercises in case you need to practise Passive. Let me know if you have doubts or if you need some more practice.

    • When the active sentence has an indirect object and a direct object, you'd rather use the indirect object as the subject of the new sentence. That's grammatically more appropriate, though the other one is right anyway.

      Eg. He gave me a heart on one of his Instagram stories.

             Passive: *** I was given a heart in one of his Instagram stories.

                               *A heart was given to me in one of his Instagram stories.



      DO THIS SELF CHECK EXERCISE AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS
