This video covers the difference between 'aid' and 'aide'. These two words often cause confusion for English learners due to their similar meaning and spelling. The word 'aid' refers to something that helps, such as teaching aids or a first-aid-kit. The word 'aide', on the other hand, refers to a person, a helper. So, remember that 'aid' is used for things and 'aide' is used for people.

Unit 4 introduces the present tenses, including present simple, present continuous, present perfect and present perfect continuous.The form, usages,typical errors/mistakes and teaching ideas of each tense are clearly explained in this unit. I feel that the way to explain tenses in unit 4 is better than what I did in class. It's worth learning.The attitude of the teacher greatly affects the lesson and it's success rate. It is important for a good teacher to maintain his composure and be aware of their student's level of understand on the lesson at hand. Also by getting student participation high, it keeps the entire lesson interesting because students are more involved and curious.
