ACTIVITY NOTES
There is still plenty to talk about! Consider asking your students to write
two additional questions about these people. Then, in small groups, have
them ask their classmates.
The two texts serve provide good examples of Third Person verb endings
found in the Present Simple tense (e.g. “I work in a bank.” -> “She works in a
bank.”)
The two texts in this simple reading activity (about 150 words each) serve
well as models for a writing activity in which your students write about
their own daily routines.
