At the airport
According to wikipedia, Heathrow is the third busiest airport in the world in terms of total passenger traffic and the busiest in the United Kingdom. However, there are more international passengers at Heathrow than any other airport around the globe.
If you are interested, browse the official site of Heathrow airport and note down relevant information.
Now you should be ready to watch this video that shows all the steps a traveller takes before flying.
Finally watch the powerpoint presentation we did in class about plans in the future and timetables. After that, do the activities related to future forms.

Unit 2: Storytelling
Nowadays there are lots of books about mini sagas and microstories, which are included in a new genre called flash fiction. It all started in 1988 when the Telegraph newspaper organized a mini saga competition. Mini sagas are complete stories in exactly 50 words. Some microstories can be even shorter.

The comfortable room was ready. The clock struck five. She stopped ironing. The same music. She looked at him and waited for his reaction. He invited her to sit down beside him. The same music. Some words. The same music. Brandy again. This time the cyanide would do the rest.
