NEW VOCABULARY TO DESCRIBE NATURAL DISASTERS

"THIS IS HALLOWEEN" 

CULTURE

FROM CHILD TO ADULT

In our English lesson we have read about growing up in Australia and New Zealand. Around the world, children become adults at different ages,but the celebrations aren't always the traditional family parties. In some countries, there are rites of passage ceremonies to mark the change from child to adult. These ceremonies can be very painful, but they teach teenagers the importance of survival.

We have read about:

• Australian walkabout.
• Maori Ta Moko.

Here you can read some information about Australia and New Zealand.

AUSTRALIA

• It's the sixth largest country in the world.
• The capital city is Canberra but Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide are bigger than the capital.
• The population is around 22 million.
• A lot of the land in Australia is desert and it is called the outback.
• There are a number of animals which are only native to Australia: kangaroo, koala, emu, platypus and wallabies.

NEW ZEALAND

• It is made upof two main islands: The North Island and The South island.
• The capital city is Wellington but Auckland is bigger.

RULES: modal verbs

         

We are reviewing "modal verbs": HAVE TO, MUST, CAN, COULD, SHOULD and OUGHT TO. 

In our English class we have been speaking about some rules in different countries about the age that young people can get married, drive a car, ride a moped, get tattoos or a piercing, as well as things that young people must or   mustn´t do at school or at home.

The task you have to do in your blog is:

• Write the title of the entry: RULES
• Choose one country: Spain, the UK or the USA.
• Write eight sentences using modal verbs about some rules in the country you have chosen.
• Some of the topics can be: school, driving a car,  riding a moped, calling teachers by their first names, sports......
