“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Give students an explanation and let them guess the word from vocabulary.
Why does time seem to pass more quickly as you get older? Do you wear a watch? How do you find out what time it is? Do prefer digital or analogue clocks? Which are easier to read? How do you like to use your free time? Why do we set deadlines for work activities? Do you find them helpful? Is it important to get up and go to bed at the same time every day? How important is it to arrive on time when meeting another person? Do you ever feel anxiety about being late for something? How many times do you check the time every day? Is it an obsession? Do you ever waste time? Why do you think you do that? Do you have any good techniques for organising your time? Would you say that you have enough free time? Do you believe time travel will be possible in future? If you could time travel to another point in history, when would it be? If you could change an event in history, what would it be? Does time really exist or is it just a human construct? Do you think life felt different before clocks were invented? Has modern communications technology left us with less free time? Do we have enough time on this planet? Would you like an extra 50 years? Give students feedback on their mistakes.
