Week 12: Different Cultures – Talking About Culture and Comparing Ideas

This unit is designed for intermediate students who want to talk about different cultures and ways of life. You will learn how to compare ideas and describe cultural differences more clearly.

You will learn how to use modals of obligation, comparatives, and superlatives. This will help you give opinions, compare cultures, and describe differences and similarities.

You will build your vocabulary with compound nouns and expressions related to culture, so you can describe traditions, lifestyles, and experiences.

We will also practise pronunciation to help you speak more clearly, focusing on word stress in compound nouns and key sounds.

This unit focuses on real-life communication. You will practise asking for and giving recommendations, expressing opinions, and reacting to new ideas.

You will improve all your English skills: Listening (understand monologues and radio programmes), Reading (read articles, blogs, and reviews), Speaking (talk about cultures and give opinions), Writing (write reviews using positive and negative language).

After this unit, you can talk about different cultures, compare ideas, give recommendations, express opinions clearly, understand spoken English, read texts, write reviews, and communicate more confidently.
