Inversion

Inversion is one of the many ways we can use to add emphasis. It's a nice way to give more strength to an idea as long as we don't overuse it. Check the slides I've prepared for you and have some practice here.

Annoying habits

Every one of us have their personal dislikes, these little things (although sometimes not so little) that really piss us off. They can be some sounds, people's attitudes, gestures and habits. And here in the picture above you can find some expressions to rant about them.


As this is way too common in our daily lives, TV has covered this issue in many occasions. Series like Friends (you can watch the video here) and How I met your Mother explored the topic in some of their episodes.


You can find a full episode on YouTube, "Spoiler Alert", in which the group realize their friends' most annoying flaws.







Speculation and deduction

This should be useful to you. It might help you revise how to make speculations by using some expressions other than maybe, perhaps or it's possible. The more varied your lexis is, the better. So make sure you give it a try.
