UNIT 0 - HELLO AGAIN: Mini test

 

1.- Today we will take a MINI TEST about the verb to be in all its forms. Don´t panic!!! 

Focus on the tasks and take your time. It´s easy-peasy!!!

2.- Once you finish, we will speak about theatre. Yes! We are going to the theatre this Wednesday. The play is titled "Abracadabra" and it is performed by Face2Face Theatre. This is the story:

Harriet Potter is 14 years old, and she is a witch. She has a brother, Harry Potter, who is very famous.

Harriet goes to school to learn magic, but she has got a problem: she is not good at magic! She doesn´t like studying.

Her first lesson is flying. Harriet can’t fly. She falls on the floor. The teacher is angry with Harriet. Harriet’s friends, Holly Hocus and Polly Pocus, try to help Harriet learn to fly. But she is not good at flying!

The next lesson is potions:

     Eye of newt and toe of frog,

     Hair of cat and tail of dog,

     Double, double, toil and trouble;

     Fire burn and cauldron bubble!

It is a laughter potion. Ha-ha-ha! But Harriet can’t make potions. Her potion goes wrong and she turns her friend into a pig. Oops!

The next lesson is animal magic. Harriet likes animal magic. She has a black and white cat called Louis! Today she must make him dance.

But Harriet is worried. At three o’clock there is an exam…

Harriet’s friends help her to learn magic. They teach her a magic word… Abracadabra!

Now she can fly! Now she can make potions! And now she can do animal magic!

Harriet passes her exam with flying colours. Her teacher, Mrs Dragon, is very happy.
