How do people talk about their school years? In this lesson, learners read four short online posts from people looking back at their education: failing a math exam, skipping school, graduating from nursing school and getting a foreign degree recognized in Canada. They learn common word combinations (take a course, do homework, skip school, miss a class, fail or pass an exam, get a good grade, graduate from, get a diploma, do an educational evaluation), practise them in true-for-me sentences, and learn how to ask past-tense questions with Did. The lesson ends with a personal education timeline that learners can tell as a short story. This is Lesson 2 of a five-lesson series.
