🧊 COOL DOWN

Say 3 real sentences about today using contractions.

Say 2 things you won’t do this week (use “I’ll” or “won’t”).

Say 1 thing you didn’t do yesterday (use “didn’t”).

Optional listening:

Watch 2 minutes of any YouTube vlog or Netflix show.

Notice how rarely people say full forms like “I am” or “do not.”

✅ Finish when

You automatically say the short form.

You don’t hesitate before contractions.

Full forms start to sound unnatural to you.
