Less stuff, more happiness | Graham
Hill
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8YJtvHGeUU

Writer and designer Graham Hill asks


‘Can having less stuff, in less room, lead to more
happiness?’
1. Introduction:
Greetings, state your topic, and explain why you want to share it.

Opens with a question (What’s in the box?) &


a prop (box)

DEBT. CO2. STRESS.

Triple (3X) the space than 50 years ago, still need


more space
Less stuff, less space = less CO2, more
money

How?
2. Body
Body 1. Edit Ruthlessly

Body 2. Think Small – “small is sexy”

Body 3. Make it Multifunctional


3. Conclusion - Summarize, restate your main idea, and
remember to thank your audience.
• Coming Full Circle (revisits the opening question):

“What’s in the box…? It doesn’t really matter. I know I


don’t need it…. Maybe, just maybe, less might equal
more. So, let’s make room for the good stuff.
Attendance Review
• 10 absences will result in a FAIL
• We will take attendance manually (by hand) typically 10-15 minutes
after the start of class.
• I will call your name and ask a simple question such as, “how was your
weekend?”, “what is your favorite English drama?”, etc.

• From today, attendance will count officially toward your grade.


Less stuff,
more
happiness?

Do you prefer a big


house or a small
house, and why?
Making Questions in English
The simplest way to form questions in English:

Question Word (QU)

Auxiliary Verb (A)

Subject (S)

Main Verb (MV)


Main Question Words
• Who (for a person)
• What (for a thing, when there are many things)
• When (for a time)
• Where (for a place)
• Why (for a reason)
• How (for a method) How many (for a count)
• Whose (to ask about possession)
• Which (for a thing, when there aren't many things)
Simple Present Questions
(do/does)
Where do you work?
QU A S MV

What does she like to eat?


QU A S MV
Simple Past Questions (did)
What did you do last weekend?
QU A S MV

Where did you buy that coffee?


QU A S MV
Present Continuous Questions
(is/are)
What are you doing right now?
QU A S MV

Past Continuous Questions

A S MV
Exception – Subject Questions
Who or what is the subject of the verb

Who broke the window?

Who is knocking on the door?


Note that questions about a subject (who?
what?) have their own special structure; they do
not require an auxiliary verb (do or does), we
replace the subject with the question word.

For example:
•We go to the cinema. – Who goes to the
cinema?
•The glass is on the table. – What is on the
table?
•Most girls here wear skirts. – Who wears skirts
Other Exceptions
• Questions with “to be” as the main verb:
“Are you hungry?”

• Indirect questions

• Reported questions – telling what another person asked


direct speech: 'Who did you see?' she asked.
indirect speech: She asked me who I'd seen.
Ask for the underlined words.

1. They heard a terrifying noise?

2. The dog goes over to the children?

3. They wrote down the address?

4. They look at our flowers and vegetables?

5. Andy did his homework very quickly?
