    • Which one of these people would be your least ideal pen pal, and why?

Pen pals

1. Mary is 13 years old and lives in Scotland. She would like a pen pal who is into horses, just like her. She also likes playing the piano and singing. She is interested in pop music but doesn’t like classical music. Mary also loves going to the beach and hanging out with her friends.

2. Kim Lee, who is 14 years old, lives in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Kim Lee loves travelling and hopes to visit Great Britain someday. He would like a pen pal who can tell him all about life in Europe. In his free time, he loves gaming and playing football.

3. Pietro is 12 years old and lives in Argentina. He loves being outside and discovering everything there is to know about plants and animals. He is especially fascinated by insects. Pietro is looking for a pen pal who shares his interest in biology. His other hobbies are biking and skateboarding.

4. Helga from Germany is 12 years old. She loves sports, so in her free time she plays hockey and basketball, and she is also a good runner. She is looking for a pen pal who is also into sports, and who can tell her more about healthy food to keep up her strength.

5. Jennifer, 14, is from New Orleans in the United States. She plays tennis and likes going to the cinema. But most of all she loves baking, and she often posts photos of her creations online. She is always looking for new recipes and decorating ideas, so she would love to have a pen pal to exchange ideas with.

6. Alessandro, age 13, lives in Rome. In his free time, he likes playing around with electronics. He repairs all sorts of things for other people, from bikes and mopeds to laptops and toasters.  Alessandro is also a good go karter. At the weekend he drives races around the country with his dad. His ideal pen pal is someone who is also keen on racing and who can give him tips.

Weet je het nog? Om te vertellen over dingen die al zijn gebeurd, gebruik je in het Engels de past simple.

Tot nu toe hebben we het gehad over regelmatige werkwoorden, maar er zijn ook onregelmatige werkwoorden.

We went to the cinema last Saturday.
I thought you were into painting.
She told me about her hobbies.

Bestudeer uit de kennisbank pagina 1 van Past simple – onregelmatige werkwoorden. Denk na over deze vragen:

  • Wat is er anders aan to be ten opzichte van andere werkwoorden?
  • Zoek op internet minstens één andere lijst met onregelmatige werkwoorden op en sla de link op.

Step 5 - Speaking

An interview about hobbies

Work with a classmate. Interview each other about your hobbies and what you do in your free time.

Preparation

  1. Prepare for both roles.
  2. Write down 8-10 questions that you can ask your classmate. Use at least five of them in your interview.
  3. Write down some words and phrases to help you talk about your hobbies and activities.
  4. When answering each question, give some extra information. For example, if your classmate asks you about your hobbies, don’t just list them, but explain what you find so interesting about them.
  5. Practise both your interviews. Switch roles for the second one.

Having the conversations

  1. Find another pair to work with.
  2. Have your two interviews.
  3. Ask your classmates to write down feedback for you.
  4. Next, let them have their interviews and write down feedback for them. Check if the interviewee gives extra information when answering questions.
  5. Discuss what went well and what you can do better next time.

Step 6 - Writing

Your pen pal profile

You have listened to Melissa talking about her hobbies and you have read the profiles of people looking for pen pals. Now you want to find a pen pal of your own, so you are going to write a profile.

  • Introduce yourself: who are you, how old are you and where do you live?
  • What are your hobbies and what do you like about them?
  • What other after-school activities have you got, how often and when?
