Lesson: Importance of Status
Status plays a significant role in every society. It shapes how we interact with and view one another. In this discussion, we’ll explore the concept of status and why seeking status is a natural part of our behaviour. Everyone wants to feel respected and valued, whether it is at work, in school, or among friends. This desire to be recognized can influence our choices, from the clothes we wear to the way we speak. Understanding status can help us better communicate and build relationships with people from different backgrounds. During this lesson, you will have the opportunity to discuss what status means to you, share experiences about status, and consider both the positive and negative sides of status-seeking. By the end of the lesson, you will have gained new vocabulary and ideas to express your thoughts about status in English.

I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest that you book lessons well in advance to give yourself time to prepare properly. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
