If something bad can happen, it will

Last class we worked with unit 6A (pgs. 64-65, Vocabulary Bank p.149 part 2 and Grammar Bank pgs. 136-137 6A)
We discussed Murphy´s Law and this is the new structure we learned:

Conditional I

If + present simple + will + infinitive
If you donate something that you don´t use, you will need it the next week.

Then we had a short oral exam and a quiz on unit 5.

Last class we worked with units 6C and 6D (modals may/might and should/shouldn´t)
Here are some examples:

Possibility

I need a new computer but I don´t know how to pay for it, I may/might use my credit card.

Permission

May I come in?

Advice

If you want to improve your listening skills, you should watch sitcoms and movies.
If you are on a diet, you shouldn´t eat sweets and fast food.

A similar modal verb is ought to/ought not to:

You ought to be on time if you want to make a good impression.
If you have a cold, you ought not to smoke.

Last class we talked about modals of obligation (have to, don´t have to, must, mustn´t)

We worked with unit 5C in the Student´s Book (pgs. 56-57) and then with the grammar section 5C on pages 134-135.

We couldn´t finish Vocabulary section 5 (on page 57) so it´s pending until Friday.

Homework

Workbook: Unit 5C.

Student´s book: Unit 5D pgs. 58-59 (only Vocabulary a and f, Grammar d and Reading b) 

As we only have 3 classes left before the test, I would like to spend more time with the most important topics and leave the easy stuff as homework.

Last class we reviewed the to-infinitive rules. (Unit 5A). After that we started to work with Unit 5B in the Student´s book (p. 54-55) The unit focuses on the -ing form (also called gerund). Then we read the verb list on page 154 (-ing verbs)
At the end of the class we checked the telephone exercises in the Skills (pgs. 32-34)

Use the -ing form:

1-When we use a verb as a noun (for example, as the subject of a sentence)
Smoking is bad for your health.

2-After some verbs (love, enjoy, like, mind, etc.)
I enjoy dancing salsa.

3-When we use a verb after a preposition.
I´m interested in buying a car.
