Cambiamo discorso.

Lasciamo i superlativi per trattare un argomento molto importante. Quando iniziamo ad avere un buon livello di inglese, ci sentiamo più sicuri di noi stessi e vogliamo iniziare ad esprimere e condividere le nostre idee ed opinioni.

Di nuovo, abbiamo quindi bisogno del vocabolario necessario. Durante le ultime tre lezioni di questa settimana vedremo proprio i vari modi in cui esprimere accordo o disaccordo!
