A boy Craig wants to tell you about his day. Let’s read the text and then answer the question “Is his day usual or unusual?” (Exercise 1a, page 84-85 – Source 2). But some words in this text are replaced with pictures. Try to guess the words.
Before we start reading, look at some unknown words from this text. (usual, unusual, until breakfast, go to work, a packed lunch, the sport club, do karate, fish and chips, after, usually) Let’s read them all together. (Annex 4 – Handout 3)
Now read the text. (You can find text in the document “Craig’s day”)
So, answer the question “Is his day usual or unusual?”
Now take your handouts and do the task №3. Read the sentences and mark them as true or false.
Let’s check. On your desks you can see thumbs up and thumbs down. If the sentence is true, show the thumb up. If the sentence is false, show the thumb down.
