david fa0b5fe974 vocab: stop re-teaching a word later in the same session (239 tags)
A word tagged VOCAB in one activity was tagged again in later activities of the
same session, so the learner got the same chip repeatedly — most visibly in the
pronunciation drills, which re-listed every word from the dialogue before them
(reported: book 7 session 1-2). Rule applied: drop a VOCAB whose word was
already tagged in an EARLIER activity of that session. Repeats INSIDE one
activity are kept — those teach distinct senses ('stuck to his finger' vs
'stuck the milk in the fridge', 'shop' as verb then noun). Also dropped chips
for plurals of already-known words in book 7 session 1-2, where the drill
teaches the singular/plural pair rather than new vocabulary. No session lost
all of its vocabulary (verified).

$LESSON 1-3: Future Plans — The Present Progressive
# Source: ST §Ted's Leaving Tomorrow (+ light talk-through)
$GRAMMAR Ted's Leaving Tomorrow
ID: l1-s11
INTRO: In this part you'll learn a very common way to talk about the future: "I'm leaving tomorrow." Present progressive form, future meaning — for plans that are already made.
The present progressive (I'm studying, you're reading, etc.) is sometimes used to express a future action which is expected to happen soon.
All three of these sentences point to the future:
| The plane | will arrive | at 6:00. |
|---|---|---|
| The plane | is going to arrive | at 6:00. |
| The plane | **is arriving** | **at 6:00.** |
Say it: {The plane is arriving at 6:00.}
