Teacher welcome
[Teacher Paul facing the camera]
Teacher Paul: Hi there, and welcome to Evolve Digital, Level 2. It’s great to have you, and I
hope you’re excited to learn more English!
My name is Paul, and I’m an English teacher. I’m going to tell you about the units in this course,
so you’ll see me whenever you start and finish a unit.
Let’s start with Unit 1. This unit is about connections. Connections are the ways in which things
and people are related to each other. So, we’re going to learn to talk about the people in your
life and your personal possessions, which are the things you own. But that’s just the vocabulary!
We’re also going to learn some grammar. We’ll start with a review of the verb be and learn how
to talk about possession with possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns. We’re also going
to learn how to ask about possessions using Whose?
Lesson 3 show how to greet new people and people that you already know. This lesson also
focuses on how to start conversations and how to show interest and surprise when you’re
talking to someone.
Lesson 4 is about how to write emails and how to introduce yourself.
Finally, we’ll review everything from the unit.
I hope you’re ready. Here we go!
