On the run

In this lesson, students read an article about Dean Karnazes, a so-called ‘ultra-marathon runner’ who has run distances of up to 350 miles non-stop. In the grammar exercises, the differences between the gerund and infinitive forms in two-verb structures are studied and practised. At the end of the lesson, students share their reactions to the ultra-marathon lifestyle and talk about other feats of endurance.

The dialogue-based lessons are really practical and students find the articles interesting. I’ve noticed a lot of progress in students who use Expemo. They easily remember what they learnt in previous lessons and seem to be very keen on the system.
