4. Project
You are going to practise using articles (a/an/the/-) and the vocabulary we’ve learned in a short
project.
First, look at the project of your grade. Then plan what you want and make an interactive image
project.
Grade 6: A time when you saw a play/a movie - say what the name of the play/movie was, when
and where you saw it, and what it was about. You should also say if you enjoyed it or not and
why.
Grade 7: A town (in your country or in the world) that has interesting historic
buildings/monuments - say the name of the town and its location, what types of
buildings/monuments it has and how old the buildings are. You should also recommend one
particular place to visit.
Grade 8: A famous writer in your country/language or in the world - say the name of the writer
and when they lived, what sort of things they have written and why they’re so famous. You
should also recommend one thing by this author to read.
Pay special attention to the articles: a/an, the and zero article.
