UNIT 3: MYSTERIES (4th ESO)

What makes a good mystery? This is the WDYT? question of the unit and not an easy one to answer. Whatever the possible explanations may be, the only true thing about mysteries is that we tend to be fascinated by them, so they clearly hide something... We'll try to find it out in this unit at the same time we learn some useful English to talk about this topic. 

We will start by studying DESCRIPTIVE ADJECTIVES:

EXTREME ADJECTIVES will also be useful to describe a good mystery. Try this activity:

One of the first mysteries we learn about is that of the Rapa Nui statues. This video gives interesting information:

When talking about mysteries, SPECULATING or MAKING GUESSES/DEDUCTIONS is going to become essential. That's why we need to study MODAL VERBS OF DEDUCTION. Here you have some extra practice:

After all this hard work, I am sure you are ready to carry out the project of the unit. It's going to be so much fun...

Let's revise some useful connectors!

There are some very simple words you all know (or should know😅) which are really helpful when writing a sentence or text. They are called connectors or linkers and, obviously, are used to connect sentences expressing different ideas (addition, contrast, reason, etc).

Brush up your knowledge about them here.

Afterwards, you can try this activity:
