Writing Let's play a game:

With your classmate, tell him three

events that happened to you, two of
them must be real, and the third must
not. Ask him to guess which one of them
is the unreal. Enjoy!

Again with your classmate, you should

provide him with a word, and he should
provide you with another word that
begins with the last letter of your word.
Enjoy your time!

Now, make a sentence about each picture, and then tell your teacher
your sentences.

Also, verbs in the past tense come in two forms: Vocabulary
1- (+ ed) regular verbs like: walk, study, visit, work, etc. Match each picture with what represents it:
2- Change from verb 1 to verb 2 irregular verbs like: write, go,

Consider this:

Verbs that end with (y) are in two cases:

1. Verbs that end with a vowel (a, e, i, o, and u) + (y): DO NOT

change the verb. For example:

play, pray played, prayed

2. Verbs that end with other letters + (y): CHANGE the (y) into
(i) and add (ed). For example:

study, worry studies, worried

The Olympic Games have trained for. However, both winners and losers mix with people who
have different appearances, languages and color from their own. They
compete with the best athletes in their events. From this experience, they

The circles of the Olympic symbol contain at least one color from the

rings. As the Olympic flag flies above them, athletes from different
nations compete against one another in peace and not at war. This is the
Olympic example for us all.

1896. There were about 70,000 people in the crowd. Since then, the size Are the following sentences true or false?
