Why should you learn English? 

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! 

Let's practise some more! 

Sometimes, you want to describe someone. 

Look at the handout for example sentences.

Look at the picture.

Raise your hand if you know! 

Guess Who?

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

Enjoy!

Do the two exercises.

Good luck!
