Telling and Reacting to a story

You just heard me tell a story about our new stray cat Millie. In this story, I used words and vocabulary from chapter 3. 

For your PTA02, you also need to tell and react to a story. To make things easier, you can use lots of vocabulary and stones from chapter 3. That means that if you learn them well, your grade will be higher!

In this lesson-up, we are first going to practise and then you are going to write your own story.

Your Story

Now you are going to talk about your own silly, crazy, adventurous, dangerous, funny story.

First, think of the story. If you can't think of a story, you make one up (eentje verzinnen).

If you need to, you can write your story in Dutch first, and then translate to English. Be careful, don't use A.I. or Google Translate for whole sentences. You need to write it yourself, because otherwise you don't practise it properly. Mind you, you are not allowed to use Translate or A.I. during your PTA.

Homework

Write an e-mail to your teacher in which you tell her your story.

Rules:

• Use stone 6 (page 38) and the Theme Words (page 39) in your book
• The e-mail should be all in English
• The e-mail should contain about 200 words
• Send the e-mail to your teacher ([e-mail])
• Make sure you start and end the e-mail correctly
