Hello!

My name is Loes van Kempen

I am 41 years old.

I live in Zevenaar

I have two sisters and no brothers.

I don't have any pets. 

My hobbies are reading and singing. 

Music and books are important to me. 

Nice to meet you! 

Words from last week 

Words are your gold when learning a language.

The more words you learn, the better you will understand and speak the language. 

Words to learn

• Stick the words in your English notebook with glue.
• Grab two coloured pencils (green and yellow are best)
• Check the words and their meaning. 
• --> Do you already know the word (and the English spelling!), colour the dot green. 
• --> Is the word new to you or are you not sure about it yet, colour it yellow.

Challenge! 

Study the words for a few minutes three or four times a week.

Choose for yourself if you just want to do the basics, basics and more or if you also want to learn the challenge-words.

In the next English lesson we will check if you remember the words. 

Why learn English? 

Any ideas? 

Think/Pair/Share

- Think alone for a moment.

- 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 (approximately)? 

Uncountable! 

Estimates range from 470 million 

to over 1 billion! 

So, wherever you plan to go, you can probably use English! 

UK/GB and England? 

What is the United Kingdom? What is Great Britain? What is England? 

Do you know what is meant by all this? 

See what you know together in your groups. 

Let's put this on the map 

Please take 5 different colours.

Give each country a different colour.

Write down the name of each country.

Add the information on UK (United Kingdom) and Great Britain.

Do you also know the capitals? Fill in what you know. 

Vocab check! 

Show what you know! (Without peeking in your notebook).

Please write down the words in your best English. 

That's it for today.

Thank you for your hard work.

Keep up with your English studies!  

I am already looking forward to the next time we will see each other again! 

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!
