Hello!

Has your house or flat got a balcony?  Is there a garden outside your house? Has it got a basement?

Most students in this group live in a flat with 1 or more balconies. One of them lives on the third floor, another one lives on the second floor.

We read about 2 boys - Paul and John - and 2 girls - Mary and Sally. We read about where they live: in a city or in a village; in a flat or in a house; what their house or flat is like: has it got a balcony? A basement? A garden?

Students read each one a paragraph - they did a very good job - then they filled in a table with the details about each child. Later we had a contest between two teams. They had to ask the other team questions:

Does Mary live in a house?

The other team had to answer quickly:

Yes, she does. Or No, she doesn't, she lives in a flat.

Has Mary got a balcony?

No, she hasn't, she has a garden.


HOMEWORK

Example

I live in a house in a village. My house is big. It has got three (3) bedrooms. The bedrooms are upstairs. 
Downstairs there is a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, a study and a bathroom. 
There is a basement. There are toys and bikes in the basement. There is also a garden with flowers and trees. My brother and I play in the garden. There isn't a balcony, but there are many windows.
