VIP Class Notes (Jesse) [S]

Homework

How would you feel if you were homeless? What would you do to get food, wash yourself, go to the bathroom, and how would you spend your time? How could you get money?

Remember: think of the time for your verbs, and make longer sentences with conjunctions.

Vocabulary

and / because / so / but / when / who / if / which … – make longer sentences

hotel
guesthouse
b&b – bed & breakfast
eg. he couldn’t go into the guesthouse because he was too scared, so he stayed at an air b&b

tour group – a group of people you can travel with
tour – to go around and look at things
eg. he said he wouldn’t give us a tour of the air b&b because he doesn’t want people to talk to the manager

Speaking exercise

I get up at about 7:30 and I want to watch TV but my mum says read books first and after reading books I went to watching TV. I’m watching the pocket monster. After I’m watching it my mum said to me “eat your breakfast” and then I draw some weapons. I draw about half an hour and then I play some video games. My favourite video game is BMX 2. You control the bicycle and when the bicycle is in the air you can do some flips

I got up at about 7:30 and I wanted to watch TV but my mum said “read books first” and after reading books I went to watch pocket monster on TV. After I’m watching it my mum said to me “eat your breakfast” and then I drew some weapons. I drew for about half an hour and then I played some video games. My favourite video game now is BMX 2. You control the bicycle and when the bicycle is in the air you can do some flips.
