TALK 2040 SESSION 4
30 June 2022
SESSION SPEAKER: Paola Distefano
TOPIC: My first trip alone
These are the principle or most repeated errors from our fourth session.
Before the next session, try and focus on and master one highlight.
![]() | ![]() | |
| 1 | They offered me the staying as well | They offered me accommodation as well |
| 2 | The school was offering a lot of courses | The school was offering many / lots of courses See Cambridge English on quantifiers: Much, many, a lot of, lots of |
| 3 | The most important trips I have done has been alone | The most important trips I have made have been alone (or: solo) See Cambridge English on: make and do |
| 4 | When I went out from the airport | When I got out of the airport |
| 5 | House | House |
How to make best use of these language highlights
Don’t try and learn them all, as if learning poetry or rules.
First, just make a mental note of them.
Then the next time you speak English, start to use them mindfully.
For example, select one and focus on it exclusively in every conversation until you get it right.
Once you have mastered it, move on to the next.
The point is not to feel overwhelmed. If you master just one from each session, you are already winning.
You can always practice more highlights later, and focus on each until you master them.
(If you are able, you could try and master one grammar and one pronunciation highlight after each session.)
Enjoy!
