9 graders: Ending Module 1

Lovely students,

We began this year reading a text about "How to break the ice". Here, we came across certain expressions, such as:
- show your bright side
- Be positive
- Smile
- Be a good listener
- Do not avoid being around new people
- Approach the group
- Do not worry if you blush or your palms sweat

Afterwards we read another text. This time about Body Language. Here, we gained this notion that our eyes can transmit what we are thinking and a clenched fist in the Ocident is one thing and in China is something else.

Smile, hug, raise eyebrow, bite nails, clench fist, frown, blush, shake hands are some of the gestures that show how you feel. For instance.
The third text we read was about dealing with conflicts. Some of the ideas taken from the were:

- cool off
- count to 10
- take a deep breath
- imagine yoursel in a relaxing place

We also wrote a greeting card to: a) congratulate someone, b) wishing good luck, c) had a family problem ann we showed our sympathy ...
We used informal language, so we can use contractions (I'll), simple linkers (and, so), we can omit the subject in the sentence (Hope you feel better - instead of I hope you feel better) and we used short opening and closing remarks (Hi Jean, See you soon)
