My Routine vs Today

Our class is busy today. We usually start at nine, but today we are starting early.

I always sit next to Ana, and she reads a comic before class. Now she is not reading; she is drawing a map.

Our teacher often drinks tea in the morning. Today he is carrying a box of paints.

We have English every Monday, and we write in our notebooks.

At the moment, we are speaking and acting a short dialogue.

I often help my friend with maths, but now he is helping me with the project. The classroom is noisy now, but we are happy. It is a different day!

Questions:

• What do you usually do before school?
• What are you doing today in English?
• Do you usually sit in the same place? Where are you sitting now?

Our class is planning a picnic on Saturday. There is a big park near the school, and there are many trees. We make a list.

We have some bread and some cheese in the fridge. We don’t have any juice now.

Are there any apples at home? Yes, there are some in the bowl. Is there any water?

Yes, there is a big bottle. We need a packet of biscuits and a few bananas. There aren’t any plates in the cupboard, so we will bring paper plates.

There are some games in the classroom, and we can take them. The plan is simple, and everyone is excited.

Activity:

• What snacks do you have at home now?
• Are there any fruits you want for the picnic?
• What drinks should we bring?
