tried caving for the first time. It was really exciting! I went surfing,

 How can we help the environment?

 Read the next paragraph then answer the following

questions:

 Jack’s blog:

In my house, we try to “be green”. That means we try to help the

plant! For example, we save water. When I brush my teeth, I always
turn off the tap. And when I help my dad wash the car, we always
fill up a bucket. We never use hosepipe. And before I turn on the
dishwasher, I always make sure it’s full.

We save energy, too! In the winter, we don’t turn up the central

heating – we put on jumpers instead. And we try not to waste food.
We usually put leftovers in the fridge, and eat them the next day!

There are lots of little ways to be green.

What do you do?

 Read the next paragraph then answer the following

questions:

 Nancy’s blog:

Do you bite your nails when you’re nervous? Or clap your hands when
you’re excited? Perhaps you scratch your head when you’re
confused? You can tell how a person is feeling by looking at their
body language.

Today in our art class, we learned how to draw body language. For
example, a confident person stands up straight, with their shoulders
back. If a person is proud, draw a small smile and lift the chin up! A
disappointed person looks down, and has a small mouth. Someone who
is bored might rest chin in their hand.

Faces are fun, too! A curios face has eyes looking up and to the side.
A face with low eyebrows and pink cheeks may look embarrassed. To
draw a jealous face, draw small eyes looking to one side, with the
eyebrows low. Try it! Cartoons are fun!

I had such fun during the school holidays! On New Year’s

Then the circus came to town! I went with my family. The
performers wore beautiful costumes, and they did some really
daring stunts. Last Tuesday, Mum and I went to London to see a
space exhibition at the science Museum. I loved it!

On Saturday, I wanted to go to the cinema because there was a new

film festival with all my favorite superhero characters. But I was

amazing special effects, too. What did you do?

 Grammar Part: reported speech; statements
with said

Reported Statements
When do we use reported speech? Sometimes someone says a
sentence, for example "I'm going to the cinema tonight". Later, maybe
we want to tell someone else what the first person said.

direct speech: 'I work in a bank,' said Daniel.

indirect speech: Daniel said that he worked in a bank.

In indirect speech, we often use a tense which is 'further back' in the

past (e.g. worked) than the tense originally used (e.g. work). This is
called 'backshift'.

When we backshift, present to past tense

'I travel a lot in my job.'

 Jamila said that she travelled a lot in her job.

'The baby's sleeping!'

 He told me the baby was sleeping.

'I've hurt my leg.'

 She said she'd hurt her leg.

Pronouns, demonstratives and adverbs of time and
place:
Pronouns also usually change in indirect speech.

'I enjoy working in my garden,' said Bob.

 Bob said that he enjoyed working in his garden.

'We played tennis for our school,' said Alina.

 Alina told me they'd played tennis for their school.

 Circle the correct words:

1. Jim: “The chat show is really boring”.

He said the chat show is / was really boring.

2. Sue: “I saw our teacher putting exam papers on our desks”

Sue said she saw their / our teacher putting exam papers on their/
our desks.

3. Mark: “I go to Morocco every year with my dad “.

Mark said he went / been to Morocco every year with my / his dad.
 Grammar Part: present simple

The simple present is used to make statements about events

at a time later than now, when the statements are based on
present facts, and when these facts are something fixed like
a time-table, schedule, calendar.

Examples

 The plane arrives at 18.00 tomorrow.

 She has a yoga class tomorrow morning.
 The restaurant opens at 19.30 tonight.
