available on YouTube if you have to go

or if

you

um have other commitments you can always

review the lesson afterwards and you

will also be able to download the lesson

materials my Gman course has been good

today at last students got some students

in the listening test do you mean that

they they got good marks in the

listening test Marina I will have to go

in 30 minutes because I have to give a

lesson too I'm also a teacher fantastic

almost really happened so we will get

cracking with the

game but thank you to everybody for

sharing your day with us

today and I'm also very pleased to have

you here with

me

Maria Carman that sounds like

unbelievably delicious I think cake is

one of my favorite things in the whole

world okay so what are we going to

play we are going to play a game of

categories okay now just uh just to let

you know categories is not actually a

name it's not a word in English it was a

word created for this particular type of

game so if you know scatories you will

know that usually you have to come up

with vocabulary based on different types

of uh

objects such as animal

food uh places cities transport all

kinds of

vocabulary however today we are going to

practice

specific different parts of speech so

we're going to play a game of categories

wait I have a feeling that my face is in

the way yes it is

okay oh no okay so we are going to play

a game of categories however the

vocabulary isn't going to be based on

things you have to produce different

parts of speech and there are

rules

so rule number

one you can only use the word once you

cannot repeat the same word for each

category so for

example if you are going to use the word

prepare as a verb you cannot use or

transform that word into to its noun

form for example so you are not allowed

to Pro to repeat the word okay it has to

be a different word for each

category number two you must write your

answer in one message not multiple

messages so when you send your answers

for the game you have to send it in one

message for example um let's

say um

uh trying to give you an example without

telling you any of the answers oh dear

okay

um

competition is a

noun and it begins with the letter

c so I'm going to come up with words

that begin with the letter c I need a

noun I need a positive adjective I need

a negative adjective and I need a verb

so

competition

careful

cocky

and

compare okay so you have to send your

answers in one message like this so

write down some of your words think

about them and then once you're ready

send the message message do not send

individual words I'm not going to accept

that so it could be a good idea if you

have like a pen or a piece of paper or

something that you can write on to think

about your ideas before you send your

final answers okay and the other rule is

that you are only supposed to use the

vocabulary that you already know so you

should avoid using a dictionary or any

kind of technological ADI device to

search for words you have to think about

what you have already in your mind

okay Dominico says it's too early come

on Dominico it's time to wake up this is

a competitive game we're all here to win

who cares about losers we're all here to

win

okay no I'm joking obviously

participation is more important than

winning

okay

so here's what it looks

like and I've just realized that I need

to edit

this so we are going

to open

up the

page move everything

around okay so as you can

see you need to

write a noun a positive adjective a

negative adjective and a verb and over

here on the left

side on the left column I am going to

write the letter of the

alphabet and each of these words have to

begin with that

letter so does everybody understand what

we have to

do

so for example if I gave you the letter

c you would have to come up with a noun

a positive adjective a negative

adjective and a

verb actually I'm going to change this

an abstract

noun okay just to make it more difficult

an abstract noun a positive adjective a

negative adjective and a

verb okay so this is very useful it's

fun and

um yeah the best person not the best

person the person who sends their

message with the

complete group of

words is going to be the winner of that

round and I will write your

name in the column which says winner for

that

round okay Domin right here we go the

first letter is

p

so remember that an abstract abstract

noun is something that you cannot

touch I think we have a winner already

Alexander

price

positive primitive and

promote well Alexander that was

incredibly

fast do we

[Music]

allow okay that's fine um ramelia sorry

maybe you did not listen to the first um

rule see the first rule uh you are not

allowed to do the word formation

exercise it is

um you have to include different words

words for

each you're not allowed to do any word

formations congratulations Alexander

well done you are the winner of our

first

round price positive primitive and

promote but we do have some other very

good ideas in chat Julia remember that

you have to put

your um answer in one message Petri

painful pretty and pick would be okay

but pen is not an abstract noun an

abstract noun is something that you

cannot touch

okay passion and poor very good Mia

almost really happened

potato no ramelia exactly so we do not

have to use the same family

words okay we're looking at like all

vocabulary for the first exercise and

then we'll move on to word formations

afterwards

okay okay great so Alexander

congratulations well

done well done you now we're moving on

to the next

letter remember abstract nouns some

things that you can canot touch and do

not use the same

words

s

e slow is not necessarily

negative again silly is not necessarily

negative I would say it's

neutral oh

Ramia romelia's got it good job ramelia

well done

silence

stable

oops

sad and

sing fantastic Ria well

done fantastic what other ideas did we

have Dominico

sale soul sweet and

Soldier

[Music]

um

Dominico which uh one of those is

negative and do you have two

verbs oh no you only have

one uh let's have a

look okay Johnny Soul success sad

sing success is a noun and soul is a

noun so you have double the nouns here

second successful sad survive very good

Alexander well done ramelia yes almost

really

happened Sunrise oh I love that one

shiny simple and Sy again almost really

happens simple

wouldn't necessarily be a negative

adjective because you can use it in both

positive and perhaps negative uh

conations in both negative and positive

contexts okay congratulations romelia

the next letter

o o

o

uh

ramelia the negative

adjective

no

that's spelled

a

w not o

w yes but the letter is O not a so I

cannot accept

it hello Fatima we are playing a game

welcome you have to come up with an

abstract noun positive adjective

negative adjective and a verb beginning

with

o old is old next negative

Marina Julia owl is not an abstract

noun

okay oh

no oh no what did I

do

oh

no

okay what just

happened did I disappear did you see me

I'm so confused I lost

everything

oh my gosh can you hear and see

me okay you can you can see

me I don't know what happened I lost

everything okay where are we uh oh I

need to go back oh no I've lost it how

do

I okay okay okay okay

uh almost really

happened um

yes

okay so that could be classed as your

negative adjective

obscure negative positive almost really

happened I'm not quite sure which one

would be which I don't know if you

can uh separate

them I need a very clear positive

and uh

negative

adjective

okay so I think ramelia has

won

the game

again with o fantastic romelia you have

changed your answer from awful

to

obfuscated which would be

another

um

negative

uh adjective and O as the verb

congratulations romelia well done okay

so before we move on to the next word

please remember to be very very careful

with your positive and negative

adjectives okay if you want to make it

easier think about adjec jeives that we

use to describe personality and

characteristics because there are many

many many adjectives that we can use to

describe characteristics and there are a

lot of negative and

positive vocabulary words within those

categories okay so I need a very

clear positive and

negative uh words

adjectives okay Hano that's pretty good

observation obedient offensive and

overtake

okay

okay so the next letter

will be

C do not copy any of my answers from

before

Okay C abstract noun positive adjective

negative adjective and a verb beginning

with

C ramelia has it

again capacity

calm

cynical and

cry

oops ramelia you did spell cynical wrong

but that's fine I know what you mean

okay and we had some other answers come

through alexand

consensus careful careless

create Alexander you would not be able

to use care for both positive and

negative adjectives you would need to

come up with another word okay almost

really happened creativity and creative

again you would have to use two separate

words you're not allowed to repeat but

good job well done Fernanda care careful

again repeating try not to repeat your

vocabulary

words Great Well

Done fantastic right let's do maybe one

more because we've already spent 30

minutes of the stream and we haven't

even moved on to the work yet

h

h

okay abstract noun positive negative and

for beginning with

h

and romelia wins it

again nobody can stop her she is

[Music]

Unstoppable hype hilarious horrible and

hate well ramelia I think it's fair to

say that you have won the game congrat

congratulations well

done well done romelia fantastic work

here you won four rounds of

scatories you are absolutely the winner

of the game well done so we had some

other really good ideas come

through um Maria Caren you would use

honesty as the noun okay honesty

hilarious humble I wouldn't say is

negative here yes fantastic well

done Marina

honesty

horrific oh hate okay so hate as the

noun honest as the adjective horrific

and here well done Marina good job

fantastic height humor horrendous

lovely to see you well see your

name okay so now what we are going to do

is we're going to do some work oh

no so now we are going to do uh some

formations with nouns and

adjectives what on Earth is happening

here

okay so we are going

to how have I completely messed up the

screen we are going to do some word

formations with adjectives and

suffixes and then we're going to do the

same for nouns and then we're going to

do a little exam exercise and then we

are all going to

relax here we go you have probably seen

this many a time before when learning

new vocabulary specifically word

formation exercises basically here you

have a box of different verb forms uh

word forms you have to change these

words to their adjective

form so to do this I would

recommend maybe writing this down on a

piece of

paper and then copying your

um answers maybe in

chat but just know that the next slide

you will have the correct

answers and the lesson materials will be

available at the end of the stream so

don't worry too much if

you run out of time or if you're not

sure I will show you the answers on the

next slide so we already have some

answers coming

through

no Kash we're just looking at which

suffixes so

able us I Al and

full which suffixes we use to change

these words into their adjective form

exactly so love for bull would go in

column number

one

okay great harmful

hopeful

lovable

comfortable

usable

nope usable

no thoughtful meaningful realistic

pessimistic

sociable pre

preal

Manuel

no

emotional

adventurous

useful

dramatic

practical

predictable

emotional usable usable no it's really

strange doing this exercise because

sometimes I have to think to myself does

that word exist like it's so confusing

but

no please give me one British

girl

um teach and discuss

media

usable

usable to be able or fit to be

used

okay so apparently

exists

but

useful

usable

useable

practical

thoughtful thank you Issa I had to

check

okay so let's go through and check your

answers because we have other exercises

to do so

usable I didn't even put

use

in

the on the

table so oh

no so I'm going to pop that on the table

right now and

then I would like you to do this

speaking

exercise so you are going

to think

about a person that could be

described

using these

adjectives yes kta you are correct well

done here are all of your answers all of

your answers are here um think of people

you know who could be described by three

of these

adjectives and I would like you to share

your description with the

group goodbye M thank you for

coming see you next week

hopefully ticktockers are

dramatic is Julia leaving

too

no I think Julia is staying

Manuel okay so choose one person in your

life because we don't really have time

for multiple but think of three uh three

adjectives that can describe somebody

that you

know and share your description in

chat so it could be a family member it

could be a friend it could be your

boyfriend or girlfriend your husband or

your

wife your

teacher

Manuel I have no

idea a raelia has described

me oh my

gosh are you describing me

Ria lovable reliable sociable generous

sympathetic emotional practical and

careful Julia he is always thoughtful

and showed me and

showed the sympathetic towards others

Julia be

careful

because using showed the

sympathetic is not grammatically

correct I would say he is all always

thoughtful and sympathetic towards

others

okay Manuel is the prime minister

delivering a speech

right

now no no no hjo you can only use

usable for objects if you wanted to

discuss or describe a person you would

have to say helpful so my math teacher

was

helpful while I was in his

class

Alexander my best friend is comfortable

reliable and lovable very nice

and I'm cautious practical person and

harmful to people who I find

dangerous ramelia I'm waiting for the

exam

task we have the noun activity first Ria

and then we have the exam task

okay

Manuel I was such an adventurous

person so some

sometimes

I become lose of the Beaten

Track I was such an adventurous person

so sometimes I would become lost off the

Beaten

Track Manuel one of my friends is very

emotional if she has a letter of

apology to the teacher because her

children are ill she always writes a

whole

novel if she has to write a letter of

apology to the teacher because her

children are ill she always writes a

whole

novel there we

go he is generous and inspired by his

Anonymous acts of kindness Julia is

absolutely hopeful with my question she

has the correct

answer Dominico well I would describe my

girlfriend who is right now beside me as

a thoughtful person she is

absolutely a lovable person who likes to

go on adventurous trips every now and

again very beautiful

Dominico excellent

K emotional people are often

dramatic I am both dramatic and

emotional yes K that's true Hano I wish

I could be adventurous but in some cases

I'm not

hopeful what do you mean hjo I wish I

would be an ad I wish I would be

adventurer

but in some cases

I'm nervous

anxious okay great well done everybody

good job so let's move on to nouns here

you

go using suffixes to change these words

the root words into the noun

form we have men n ants asan it

Al I'm just gonna go and check my lunch

I will be back in one second okay so

start filling out the answers to the

noun formations

please

okay I'm

back awareness

presentation familiar

familiality

significance

complexness

nope uh

explanation curi

osity

resignation reluctance kindness

arrival

formality

government

ignorance

resignation

awareness

excitement

very

good okay teach and discuss media can

you stop

please either participate in the lesson

or just go somewhere

else I'm happily married thank

you

Basher you need to change the form of

these nouns the the form of these words

into their noun form

ability

okay there we

[Music]

go

so we have government excitement

argument kindness awareness

carelessness ignorance significant

reluctance resignation presentation

explanation

information formality familiarity

complexity ability

curiosity proposal

arrival

fantastic everybody well done

so if you want to practice the

pronunciation of these nouns because

sometimes you know you need to practice

putting the stress in the correct place

within a word then you can definitely

review this

lesson go back and uh do a shadowing

exercise where you copy my um

pronunciation so the last activity is

going going to be the word formation

exam exercise here you have a text about

a

professional person called

Phillip you have to complete the text by

changing the form of these words in

bold they are in

order you just have to change them to

their noun form or their verb form or

their adjective form using suffixes and

prefixes we have life therapy confident

ambitious able weak product anxious

approve bully real succeed signify

qualify and

free so number one you would start with

life you would follow the text down

number 15 is

free

don't really know why this has moved

so there I hope you can see

okay

this

for

okay romelia has already

finished

right oh no we still have to do number

15

Ria number 15 is

freedom number

14 oh sorry Marina yes I can read the

text without the answers okay uh

Philip uh Mor ores a former teacher now

makes a good M as a career coach

and he changed his career when he

discovered that he was spending ages

helping many of his students who lacked

M and the M needed to do well he worked

on helping them to develop their natural

M and then showing them how to overcome

their

m one of his main aims was to show them

how to maintain their M throughout the

year

many young people find this hard and

struggle with feelings

of and are unable to complete the work

another problem for teenagers is the

need for from their peers and the fear

of being or laughed at he also

discovered that often any goals they may

have a fear oh sorry they and he also

discovered that often any goals they may

have are rather and cannot be

achieved as he watched these young

people develop into adults he gradually

began to recognize the of his of this

kind of work he decided to do some

part-time courses and once he got his M

he gave up teaching completely he loves

working for himself and he has the m to

help a lot more people than he did when

he was just

teaching

okay so I'm going to give you you're

very welcome Marina I'm going to give

you

maybe two more

minutes okay so two more minutes to

finish your answers and then we will go

through and check them

for

so make sure that you are changing the

form so if you ever see this exercise in

the

future just know that you can not put

these words in the form that they have

been given you always need to change

them

so for example number one is not a good

life you have to change the form of

life thank you

Marina

okay yes ramelia

make a living what's the answer make a

living as a

collocation so here are the answers

ladies and gentlemen I'm sorry if you

did not have time to finish but don't

worry this is just a practice exercise

to focus on vocabulary and word

formations so number one living number

two therapist number three confidence

number four ambition number number five

abilities number six

weaknesses number seven

productivity number eight anxiety number

nine approval number 10 bullied number

11

unrealistic number 12

successfully number 13 significance

number 14 qualification and number 15

Freedom so well done ladies and

gentlemen this is in

fact a

B2 uh example upper

B2 it's um it's taken

from a uh like a pre in the middle

between B2 and

C1 because the context is

[Music]

quite complex but the

Transformations like the words the

vocabulary given for the for the word

formations are easier than C1 so it's a

little bit in between and I really

enjoyed actually I really enjoyed uh the

the t uh eat

paper okay karang right then so that's

it we have finished the stream for today

uh please join me next week usual time

usual place so on Tuesday the 21st of

November we are going to look at some

vocabulary to talk about your relatives

vocabulary from today's lesson

maybe some negative and positive

adjectives I'm going to do some speaking

exercises and also a preparation writing

exercise so writing an article about

your family a relative of yours so uh
