� Tradition is a generic term that encompasses a wide variety of things and concepts that are handed down by one generation to another. A tradition is an act, behavior, or a belief system which has a special significance for the members of

the society. � Ritual is an act or a series of acts that are performed or observed in a society. In every society, important functions, events, ceremonies, festivals are marked by certain acts or a series of acts that are perceived to have a symbolic value. Rituals are observed almost religiously because, in most cases, they have a religious backing and, therefore, considered important for individuals in the society. It is the presence of rituals that make an event formal and traditional. According to the definitions above, decide which situations are rituals and traditions. a handshake to greet others the practice to honor and respect the seniors exchanging wedding rings on the alter bride's wearing white on the wedding day Traditions 2, 4 Rituals 1, 3 Watch the movie segment from the movie The Great Wall and make a list of acts involved in the rituals of the scene.

What if is usually used in the beginning of a question, when we ask about the consequences of an action. We use what if here to indicate present or future situations. For example, What if there is no fish in the ocean? You won�t be able to fish for the family . What if I go home earlier? You will miss all the important decisions of the meeting. Watch the movie segment and say how the main character would probably answer the question. Follow the examples above.

What if I could bring your son back to you just one more time? What if I could give you the chance to say your final goodbye? Work in pairs: Think about two possible answers. Make a guess based on the evidence provided by the segment: What if she opens the door? 1. ________________________ 2. ________________________ What about you? How would you react to the offer?

I'm a Branch Coordinator and Teacher Trainer as well. I really like movies and seeing them with "different" eyes, trying to see how I can use them in my classroom. Recently, I have dedicated my ideas to grammar activities with movie segments because, apparently, teachers use movies for many purposes, but grammar. Working with movie segments fosters students' production and interest. I truly believe that grammar exercises should be attractive. I have just developed a new blog for movie segments to enhance topic based classes, focusing on conversation, listening comprehension and vocabulary acquisition.
