Lesson 4b

Where am I?

The teacher asks each student to think about a place (e.g. at
home, at the cinema, at a supermarket, etc.) and the activities
they often do there (e.g. sleep, watch TV, sit, watch films, etc.).
Each student makes at least 3 sentences using the Present
Continuous tense to describe those activities (e.g. I am sleeping. I
am watching TV. I am washing the dishes, etc. for “at home”). The
teacher invites some students to read aloud their sentences one
by one. Other students guess the place that the student is
describing. Who can have more correct guesses will be the
winner.
