Activity 3a Read Lucy‟s letter. How many rooms do they have? 9 min

Objectives: to give practice in reading for specific information; to check comprehension STEP 1: Ask the pupils to read Lucy‟s letter and identify in which house in Activity 2a Lucy lives. Answer key: a two-storey house

STEP 2: Ask the pupils to find and put the missing words from the cloud. Answer key: 1) two-storey; 2) Upstairs; 3) floor; 4) Downstairs; 5) floor STEP 3: Then ask them to count how many rooms they have in their house. Answer key: Upstairs: 3 rooms; downstairs: 2 rooms. Total: 5 rooms

Note: British people count all rooms including a kitchen, a bathroom and a toilet but we do not. So they count as follows: Upstairs: 3 bedrooms + a bathroom and a toilet = 4; Downstairs: a living room + a dining room + a kitchen = 3.

Total: 7 rooms
