Day 21: Week 3 Review

a full travel-situation role-play · 40 min

Today you simulate an entire day in Paris — from landing to hotel check-in, six situations back to back. Week 3 was heavy on conversation, so the review is too.

1. Week 3 on one page

The week's three modals

All three take a bare infinitive after them — no "to", no anything. That one structure doubles your sentence length.

2. 🎭 A day in Paris — six situations back to back

Feed them to LangNote's role-play one at a time. No script.
