If there's anything you would like to share about your holiday, now is the time! Do so in English please :)

Are you going to work online or in your book for Unit 2? This will be your final decision for the rest of Unit 2!

I am going to work online for Unit 2.

I am going to work in my book for Unit 2.

Let's start unit 2!

Unit 2 is about Scotland, which is a part of the UK. The first lesson is about a Scottish tradition called the Highland Games.

We're going to work on Lesson 1 today. You can find this on page 50/51 of your book, or in U2 Lesson 1 online.

The Highland Games

In the 11th century, the Scottish king organized a contest in a village called Braemar to find the strongest and fastest men. The strongest men became the King's bodyguards. The fastest men became his couriers. Nowadays, over 80 Highland Games take place across Scotland. Many more happen around the world, even in the Netherlands!

Exercise one: What do you think of

Work on exercise 2: watch the video and answer the questions.
