Two slides from the lesson

Warm-up

Before we look back at unit 22 and the whole course:

1. What is the longest trip you have ever taken by bus or by train?
2. When do you use English outside our lessons?
3. Which do you like more: learning new words or practicing grammar? Why?

Grammar rule

Grammar from unit 22

	Grammar	Example
because	a reason	I might take a test because my company wants to send me to Toronto.
so	a result	I used to be afraid of phone calls, so this message is a big step.
although	a contrast	Although my English isn't perfect, I can do a lot of things now.
because of	a reason, before a noun	Kenji didn't need a car because of the subway.

Two things to watch: one linking word joins two ideas, not two (not Although…, but…, not Because…, so…), and because of goes before a noun, not a sentence.
