Describing experiences
Introduction
In block II you will learn to describe experiences putting in practice new vocabulary related to
travel, vacation activities and some food around the world. Reading and writing exercises will
help you learn the grammar structure of the present perfect tense and you will revise what you
have learned about the simple past. Because practicing your speaking skills is an important
step in learning a new language, you will practice role-playing dialogues applying what you
have learned.
