If you had an extra day in the week ... what could you do?
SPEAKING: 2nd Type Conditionals
Film English Lesson Plan
- In pairs, ask five questions about your partner’s daily life: age, job, studies, journey to school, routine and evening pastimes, for example.
- Say to each other what you do on a normal day.
- Look at this question:
"If you had an extra day in the week, what could you do?"
- Write down five things you think your partner would do if he/she had an extra day in the week.
- When you have finished writing your sentences, read them to your partner, for example:
“If you had an extra day, I think you’d spend more time with your grandparents.”
- Your partner should say whether the sentence is right or not.
Now, you are going to watch a short film called Everyday in which a young couple imagine they had an extra day.
- Watch the film and note down as many of the activities the young couple would do.

BLEND WORDS
English is a dynamic language that is constantly evolving. Many of the words in the English language are derived from ancient Latin and Greek or from other European languages such as German or French. But starting in the 20th century, blended words began to emerge to describe new technologies or cultural phenomena. For instance, as dining out became more popular, many restaurants began serving a new weekend meal in the late morning. It was too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, so someone decided to make a new word that described a meal that was a little bit of both. Thus, "brunch" was born.
As new inventions changed the way people lived and worked, the practice of combining parts of words to make new ones became popular. In the 1920s, as traveling by car became more common, a new kind of hotel that catered to drivers emerged. These "motor hotels" quickly proliferated and became known as "motels." In 1994, when a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel opened, connecting France and Great Britain, it quickly became known as the "Chunnel," a word blend of "Channel" and "tunnel."
