Unit 8: Like doing/ would like to do


"Oh, I would like to thank the Academy from the bottom of my heart! I would like to thank Emily Watson and Fernanda Montenegro, and my friend Cate Blanchett for their help and patience".

This is Gwyneth Paltrow's speech at the Oscar Awards Ceremony. The speech has the structure "would like to + infinitive". Imagine you have to prepare a speech for the Oscar Awards ceremony. Write a simple speech on the chat below using  the "would like to + infinitive" structure. We can vote for the best speech.


Now try these activities with like + ing (general) and would like to + inf (particular, specific).

Would like to I
Would like to II
Would like to / like ing


I hope to read your speeches on the chat.
