Teacher Note
What You Will Deliver
Unit 14 revisits TO BE (from Unit 1) in the context of origins and nationality. Students combine “Where are you from?” with nationalities, country names, and cultural context. This is critical for call center work — students talk to customers from many countries. By the end every student must ask and answer origin questions fluently.
