greeting someone by shaking hands

Making a good first impression

This lesson is based around employability and deals with different factors which contribute to creating a good first impression, such as dress, punctuality and register of speech.  The language focus is the use of should and shouldn’t to give advice, and learners practise giving advice on how to create a good first impression. 

Getting to know you

Even simple social tasks like inviting a person out to a restaurant can cause embarrassment and stress. This lesson includes discussions of why such situations are difficult, as well as plenty of practice.
