 SKILLS: speaking, listening
 CLASS DESCRIPTION: The students are between 13-14 years old and they are in the 6th year of English, so they are familiar with the English
 grammar and vocabulary. They have shown enthusiasm and they seem to be keen on learning new things, but unfortunately some of them have some
 unfilled gaps in their knowledge. Overall, they are great students, open-minded and always competing with each other. This class is very attracted to
 anything connected to laptops, projectors, mp3, they love working in team and feeling free to speak up their mind.
 ANTICIPATED PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS: If the students are not familiar with the mentioned grammar issues, they will get distracted and
 won’t be able to take part in discussions. The largest part of the class is very well-informed and highly competitive, the other part, even with good
 English knowledge could become shy and less talkative. T will moderate, facilitate the lesson in that way that everybody could find the opportunity
 and comfort to express his/her opinion.
