Well, after watching the video for the task; I have decided that it would be better doing #8 Modal verb “can” for ability. Sorry about that!

Hi everyone, I would like to teach #2 Present perfect simple for life experience.

I have done this task with my husband.
He was complaining of neck pain today, so I decided to teach him some stretches.
I didn’t have any documents or images to show. I was demonstrating on myself the muscles that we were going to stretch. Then giving the instructions, one action at a time and I was doing it at the same time to demonstrate how to do it. eg: bring your right arm down, then your left ear to your left shoulder until you feel a resistance.
The hardest part was to remember to say the opposite side to what I was doing as he was facing me.
We did this for a few neck muscles and his neck felt better afterwards. I wondered if I needed anything to show muscles, but then I was just pointing on myself to keep it simple and not an anatomy lecture.He reported that I was clear with my explanations but that one time I could have been more precise and turn around to show the stretch better.

wow cooking and playing golf! good ones 🙂
That is a brilliant way of getting your daughter involved with both housework and your studies! I agree with the importance of the different senses when cooking. Also looks like it was very clear and that you adapted to your daughter’s reactions.and Alex, I know nothing about golf but thanks to you a little more now!! I agree with Lisa, we might need to organise a practice session during the week in Toulouse 😉
It seems to me that it was really well planned as well, adding information progressively, step by step, and getting him to practice. Good work! -
I think you did really well Patricia, your instructions are clear and you talk in a very clear and calm way which makes it easy to understand.

Today’s zoom meeting was a really good time to get to know each other. I really enjoyed being able to discuss how the course is going for everyone and as you said it is reassuring to be sharing similar questions and being able to support each other.
I wish I was able to feel more natural giving instructions, it seems to me that I have to think (probably overthink as well) so much to give effective and clear instructions. I guess it all comes with time and practice.Thank you all for your input during this hour. It has been very helpful and I do appreciate your feedback and ideas.
