Vocabulary: million, charity, pimple, confident, shirt, tie, medical research Learning strategies: Matching, Listening for key words SECTION A Goals ●To learn to use Second conditional and Should for advice ●To listen and talk about imagined life Procedures Warming up by learning about Second conditional and Should for advice The second conditional (also called conditional type 2) is a structure used for talking about unreal situations in the present or in the future. This page will explain how the second conditional is formed, and when to use it. The structure of a second conditional sentence Like a first conditional, a second conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if" clause and a main clause: if clause main clause If I had a million dollars, I would buy a big house. If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for a comma: main clause if clause I would buy a big house if I had a million dollars. We use different verb forms in each part of a second conditional: if clause if + subject + simple past verb* main clause subject + would + verb 1a Talking about imaginary situations What would you do if you had a lot of money? If I had a lot of money, I would give it to charity. If I had a lot of money, I would buy snacks. If I had a lot of money, I would give it to Hope Project.

Subject:  Can you help?   From:  Fran Dear Knowledgeable, My best friend, Mei, has a problem. There is a really important English speech contest for our whole city next month. Our classmates want her to represent the class in the school contest. Everyone is sure she will win. It’s probably true. Mei is very clever, and can speak English really well. In fact, she always comes top in the school exams. The problem is that she’s very shy. She doesn’t want to let her friends down, but she’s terrified of speaking in front of other people. She’s my friend, so she can tell me that she’s shy. But she can’t tell everyone that. I don’t think they would believe her. I can’t think of any good advice to give her, but you always come up with good solutions to people’s problems. What do you think I should tell Mei?
