Two separate videos with exercises: as usual, students first click on the "Exercise 1" button. Then students have a good look at some difficult vocabulary used in the video, with an opportunity to practice pronunciation and to learn meaning thanks to text and pictures. Then they will meet Ann in a very short clip. She uses the Present Perfect tense immediately. Jim and Robin use it once only. The student's job is to find it!
