Activity 1: Game
Mime your past
Group work
One morning I got up late. It was half past six and school began at 7. I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth, dressed, jumped on my motorbike and drove to school. When arriving at school, I went straight into the class and greeted my students. All the students began laughing. I couldn’t understand why. Suddenly, I looked down and realized that I had put on one brown shoe and one yellow shoe.
A Story about my past experience
That is one of the memorable past experience in my life. I often feel embarrassed when thinking of it.
Today, we will talk about past experiences and how they affect your life.
