Language Note

Students often get very focused on speaking during conversation  activities. Point out 

that being a good listener offers an important chance  for learning too. Explain that an 

active listener shows a speaker that they  are engaged in a conversation by asking 

simple questions or making short  comments that encourage the speaker to continue. In making their own  conversations, students should also be offering their opinions and 

thoughts  based on what their partners are saying.

Millennials, or the Millennial Generation, are those that came of age  at the turn of the 

millennium. People born in 1982 would have been 18 years  old in the year 2000, which is considered the time when you come of age in  the U.S. where the term was first used.

In addition to living in urban areas, being more educated, and marrying  later, there are 

also many character differences between Millennials and  older  generations. Millennials in the  U.S. more often prioritize their social life and lifestyle above their commitment  to

 their work. They are also more comfortable with living at home with their  parents, and 

borrowing and sharing things instead of owning them, than  previous generations.
