It made me think a lot about the difference between adults and children, and the challenges you will have as a teacher as a result of these. Also, all the different 'roles' played by the teacher.
It was also interesting to pin point the different levels of English language ability. They are close to each other in some ways, with subtle improvements as you move up the scale.In this unit I have learnt about different way of expressing future actions.
