A Life of Danger

Read through these questions. Make sure that you understand the Bold words ~ Have you ever been close to a dangerous wild animal? ~ Have you ever had a bad electric shock? ~ Have you ever eaten something poisonous? ~ Have you ever used a dangerous piece of machinery? ~ Have you ever driven faster than the speed limit? ~ Have you ever been involved in a traffic accident? ~ Have you ever broken the law? ~ Who is the biggest risk-taker that you know? ~ Whats the most risky thing you have ever done?

Now ask other class members some of these questions. Remember to ask more questions using why, where, when, how much, how many, who, which....etc.

Warning! If you touch this you will die!

Can you match the things on the left with the warnings on the right? 1. Poison 2. Tobacco 3. A tree 4. The sea 5. Sharp knife 6. Car 7. Bicycle 8. Alcohol 9. Dog 10. Television If you hold it wrongly you will cut yourself. If you touch it, it will bite you. If you go too fast the police will catch you. If you have too much you will get sick. If you open the back you will get a shock. If you consume a lot youll feel sick tomorrow. If you are careless you will fall. If you drink it you will die. If you go there in bad weather you will drown. If you dont have lights a car will hit you.

Now use the same pattern to write new warnings about different things.
