Information
If we want to express our unwillingness very strongly, we say I don't want to, or I
won't.
Examples 2
Listen to the examples.
1. I wouldn't be too keen on teaching children. I'd prefer to teach adults.
2. I don't really want to move unless I get a promotion.
3. If necessary, I would relocate, but I'd rather stay here.
4. I'd rather not repeat what she told me.
5. I don't want to work on the new project.
SPEAKING
Now practise using some of the language you have just learnt. Your teacher will
divide you into groups.
1. Player one turn over a card.
2. Say whether you agree or disagree with the statement.
3. Try to use the language from the language focus.
4. Now ask the others in the group.
5. Then the next player turns up a card.
For example:
I don’t mind working
on the weekend
A: Oh, no I’m not too keen on working on the weekend, I have to look after my
son. What about you?
B: I’m a nurse so I don’t mind working on the weekend.
C: I’ll work on the weekend if I get paid extra money.
