Welcome to the lesson!

Hello!

My name is Loes van Kempen

I am 39 years old.

I live in Zevenaar

My hobbies are reading and singing. 

Nice to meet you! 

--> Over to you, introduce yourself to someone 

Why learn English? 

Any ideas? 

Think/Pair/Share

- Think alone for a minute.

- Team up with your neighbour and discuss your ideas

- Share your ideas with the whole class. 

English is everywhere! 

You can find English in commercials and in the streets, you hear it in songs and on TV and in films, lots of books and texts are printed in English, many computer games use English and English is the international language of business and the internet. So, it's pretty useful to know English! 

Have a guess.

How many people in the world speak English? 

Uncountable! 

Estimates range from 470 million 

to over 1 billion! 

Let's see how useful it is to speak English...

Let's practise! 

Sometimes, you want to describe someone (because you lost the person on a busy festival, or you want to describe your perfect boyfriend or girlfriend or you forgot someone's name and want to describe him or her). 

Look at the handout for example sentences.

Any questions? 

Look at the picture.

Who is described?

Raise your hand if you know! 

Now work together.

In turns, describe someone on the picture. The other one guesses who you are describing.

Good luck! 

Final assignment. 

Turn over your worksheet.

Do the two exercises.

Good luck! 

Time is up!

Thank you for your attention!
