Test Review: Super Cool
Topics for Anej! 😎
Hey Anej! The big test is tomorrow, but seriously, we already crushed all this stuff!
Let's get this review done so you can focus on the important things (like not calling
the police on friendly aliens).
Here’s a quick-hit list of what we covered for the long test on Unit Three topics:
🚀 Aliens, Bermuda, and Strange Stories
We talked about everything from disappearing ships to secret underwater alien
bases!
● "A Strange Story": Remember Alec (the lazy one) and Jim (the hard worker)?
Alec found a treasure, went on a trip to America, and his boat was found 50
years later—but he was gone.
● The Bermuda Triangle: This is the weird spot near the Bermuda islands
where planes and ships disappear.
○ Scientific theory: Cracks in the tectonic plates bring metals closer to
the surface, messing up equipment (like your Wi-Fi when your parents
try to update the router).
○ The Awesome Theory: Aliens are probably living underwater and
tapping into the magnetic fields for massive energy to fuel their UFOs
and space travel!
● Alien Encounter: You'd run away and call the cops 🚓 (who wouldn't believe
you). I'd try to become an insider to learn their secrets—especially how to get
to a black hole!

💔 Romeo & Juliet: The Ultimate
Love/Fight Story
It's a classic, even if you found it "okay." The feud between the Capulets and
Montagues was so extra that it killed their kids!
● Plot in a Nutshell
a. Romeo snuck into a Capulet party to meet Juliet.
b. They fell in love and got married secretly by Friar Lawrence.
c. Romeo killed Juliet's cousin and had to run away.
d. Juliet faked her death with a potion to avoid marrying Paris.
e. Romeo, thinking she was dead, drank real poison and died.
f. Juliet woke up, saw Romeo, and stabbed herself with his dagger.
● Lesson: Even if families hate each other, people can still be friends. But
seriously, fighting hurts the people you love.
✍️ Grammar: Making It Stick
We focused on the parts of the test that trip people up!
Asking Questions (Present & Past Simple)
● The 'Do/Does' Rule: When you use 'do' or 'does' in a question, the main verb
goes back to its original form.
○ Sentence: She has two brothers.
○ Question: How many brothers does she have?
● The 'Did' Rule: The same thing happens in the past!
○ Sentence: Nila forgot her umbrella.
○ Question: What did she forget?
Adverbs: Opposites
Adverbs describe the verb (how you do something). We practiced the opposites!
● quietly vs. loudly
● badly vs. well (or good)
● quickly vs. slowly
● angrily vs. calmly
● hard vs. easily
● happily vs. sadly
Do vs. Make
The two words mean the same thing, but you use them for different tasks:
● Do: Do your homework, do the dishes.
● Make: Make your bed, make a complaint, make progress.
You've got this for the test tomorrow! Just remember the difference between Do
and Make and that even the coolest steak can go bad if you forget about it for too
long!
