Test 3 Practice

Healthy Eating

What do you usually eat and drink? Do you think your diet is healthy or unhealthy? Do you think you should change anything?

Test 3 Practice

Phrasal Verbs

 Have you ever wondered how simple words like 'give' or 'look' can transform into 'give up' (to stop trying) or 'look up to' (to admire or respect someone)? These combinations of two or more words are phrasal verbs. They are fun and important! Learning them will help you speak English more naturally and easily. Let’s explore and learn together!

Comparison of Adjectives

Who's faster - Superman or cheetah?
What's more exciting - playing video games or going to an amusement park?
Which holiday is the most exciting?

These comparisons use adjectives! They help us make our sentences more colourful and describe our world in fun and creative ways.

As you remember, when we compare, we usually use adjectives in two ways:

- we add -er to short adjectives or use more with longer ones when we compare two things or people (My bike is faster than yours. This book is more interesting than that one.),

- we add -est to short adjectives or use the most with longer ones (This is the tallest tree in the park. She's the most talented player on the team.).

Watch out for spelling of some short adjectives (This bag is bigger than that one.) and irregular ones (That's the worst film ever!)!

Grammar Challenges

 Are you ready to take on the challenge and show off your grammar superpowers? Put your creativity and grammar skills to the test and have fun!

• Pick a popular song and rewrite the lyrics to use conditional sentences or reported commands/requests. Then, film it. e.g. If you want a perfect cake, don't forget to bake! (sung to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It)
• Create a meme related to conditionals or reported commands/requests. e.g. An image of a cat wearing glasses, with a text: If you give me treats, I'll love you forever. Use any of the free Canva templates.
• Design a Survival Manual for Class 7 for younger pupils. Include commands and conditionals. e.g. Bring your homework every day. If you sleep well, you feel energetic. If you join a club, you will make new friends. Use any of the free Canva templates.

Recipes

Lights, camera, action!

Pretend you're on a cook show. Teach us how to make your favourite dish, step by step.  

• What's your favourite dish? Why do you love it? Is it something sweet, savoury, or spicy? What makes it special?
• What ingredients do we need? List everything we'll need to make your dish. Don't forget to include measurements!
• What are the steps? Use these action words to guide us: 
• Add a pinch of salt.
• Chop the vegetables into tiny pieces.
• Mix the ingredients together in a bowl.
• Boil the water until it bubbles.
• Peel the apples before slicing them.
• Bake your cake until it's golden brown.
• Pour the sauce over your dish.
• Fold the mixture gently to keep it fluffy.
• Cook until everything smells delicious.
• How can we serve it? Should we eat it hot or cold? Maybe with a spoon, fork, or even our hands.

Ask your parent, sibling or friend to film the process. Have fun!

Food Preparation

What do you need to prepare a dish? Let's check!

Reported Commands and Requests

Imagine this: Your favourite celebrity says, "Follow me on social media!" Or maybe your best friend asks, "Can you get tickets for the concert?" How would you share these moments with someone else later? This is where reported commands and requests come in!

We use 'told' + object + (not) to infinitive to share commands.
For example:

Direct: The actor said, "Follow me on social media."

Reported: The actor told us to follow them on social media. 

What about negative commands?

Direct: The coach said, "Don't skip practice tomorrow."

Reported: The coach told us not to skip practice tomorrow.

Try it yourself! How would you report these commands?

"Subscribe to my channel."

"Don't delete the group chat."

When someone politely asks for something, we use 'asked' + object + (not) to infinitive to report it.
For example:

Direct: My favourite gamer said, "Can you share this stream with your friends?"

Reported: My favorite gamer asked me to share the stream with my friends. 

What about negative requests?

Direct: She said, "Please don’t spoil the film for anyone."

Reported: She asked me not to spoil the film for anyone.

Your turn! Report these requests:

"Could you send me the link to the video?"

"Please don't reveal the plot twist!"

Why does this matter?

Learning to report commands and requests helps us share what others say without using their exact words. It's an important part of storytelling, especially when talking about celebrities, friends, or exciting events!

We use reported speech to tell someone what another person says or said. We usually use 'told' + object + (not) to infinitive to report commands, and 'asked' + object + (not) to infinitive to report requests.

(Un)countable Nouns

 Do you eat chocolate every day? How much water do you drink? How many pencils are there in your pencil case? These questions help us talk about countable and uncountable nouns.

Countable nouns are for things we can count, like apples or chairs. We use a or an with singular countable nouns (a bottle. an orange).

Uncountable nouns are for things we can't count, like milk or rice. But you can use portions to count uncountable nouns, like a glass of water or two sugars (two spoonfuls of sugar).

Telling the Time

Can you tell the time in English? Let's see!

Conditionals

What do you do when you're happy? Maybe you sing your favourite song.
What will you do if it rains at the weekend? Will you stay inside and play games, or go out with your umbrella anyway?

These are the examples of conditionals - sentences that show a condition and a result. To talk about facts, we use Type 0, and to talk about possible results in the future, we use Type 1 Conditional. 

Famous People

Write about your favourite famous person. It can be a sportsperson, actor/actress, singer, writer, activist, but they must be alive.

P1: What's his/her name? Has he/she got a nickname? What does he/she do for a living?
P2: When and where was he/she born? Where does he/she live? Who does he/she live with?
P3: What does he/she do every day? Write about his/her daily routine.
P4: What does he/she like doing in his/her free time? Who with?
P5: Why is this famous person special?

Don't copy/paste from the internet, please! Try to use your own words!

Future Forms

As you know, there are different ways of talking about the future in English. We can use going to + infinitive, will + infinitive, the present simple or continuous, depending on what we want to say. 

Watch the videos for some more examples:

Present Simple Tense

Do you play computer games every day, or just at the weekend?
How often do you practise sports?
Do you always eat pizza on Fridays?

When we talk about what we do every day, we use the present simple tense. Watch the video for some more  examples.

As you remember, for most verbs, we use the base form of the verb. But, for the third person singular (he, she, or it), we add -s or -es to the end of the verb. 

Some verbs even change their spelling! Can you figure out the correct spelling and sort the verbs? Enter your name to start the game. 

Make some funny sentences using the present simple tense.

To ask questions or say no in the present simple, we need help - DO/DOES, DON'T/DOESN'T. Can you tell the difference between these? Let's see!

My Last Few Weeks

 Reflect on the last few weeks and the shift in your daily routines due to the suspension of lessons. These questions might help you organise your thoughts:

Paragraph 1: How did your daily routine change? How did you spend your days? Who did you spend them with?
Paragraph 2: How did you feel about your days without lessons? What was the most memorable moment during this period? What were your thoughts? Did you discuss this situation with your family and friends? How did they feel?
Paragraph 3: How did this experience change your view of school, learning, or life in general? How did you continue your learning outside of school?
Paragraph 4: What are you most looking forward to when lessons start again? What changes or improvements do you hope to see?

My Favourite Day

Write about your favourite day of the week. You can make your timeline first. Organise your writing in paragraphs. These questions can help you:

P1: Which is your favourite day of the week?
P2: What time do you usually get up? What do you do first? Do you make your bed? Who makes your breakfast? What do you usually eat? What do you do after breakfast?
P3: What time do you usually have lunch? What's your favourite lunch? Do you have lunch with your family? 
P4: What do you do in the afternoon? Do you play with your friends/pets, go to the park, walk your dog, or go shopping?
P5: What do you do in the evening? Do you watch TV, read books/comics, listen to music, or play games? What time do you usually have dinner? Who prepares it? Do you help? What do you usually eat?
P6: What time do you go to bed? What do you do before you go to bed?
P7: Why is it your favourite day?
- If it's a workday, how many lessons have you got then? Can you name them? Do you like morning or afternoon shifts better? Why? What do you do in your break time? What after-school activities do you do?

You can use the following game as the example.

Ideal School

There are rules everywhere, at home, at school, online... Think of your ideal school. What rules are there? Use must for your duties and mustn't for the things that are not allowed.
