1.      This is the content I expect to consider in class today. Prepare for speaking practice in class. Practise using some vocabulary that is clearly related to feelings, such as stressed, guilty, exhausted and furious.

Pay attention to the pronunciation. Look up these adjectives in a dictionary and practise the pronunciation. Don´t forget that repetition and practice are necessary.
