Today, we started Unit 2, in which we are going to speak about relationships, like the ones we have with our family and friends. And talking about family, have you heard of the famous TV series Modern Family? It's about the funny adventures of 3 different families which are interrelated. One of the most interesting facts of this series is that it breaks with the image we all have of the "traditional family" and its characters are really diverse, in terms of age, ethnic origin and sexual orientation. Also, it's really funny!
It was on for about 15 years in a row and it's considered one of the most successful shows in the history of TV. Friends even had an impact on the English language, with so-called Friends "so".
E.g. Monica: That attitude is so Ross! (Both Ross and Monica are characters in this show). What Monica meant was that attitude was very typical of Ross. That expression was so repeated in the show that became part of the English language and people say it nowadays in colloquial environments. Interesting, isn't it?
Now, we're going to watch a short scene from Modern Family and, after watching, I'd like you to comment Google Classroom the different kinds of families that you saw.
See you in class!
