Step 1 - Reading

Children’s bedrooms
You are going to read a text about the bedrooms of children.

  • Read the text.
  • Answer the questions.

Children’s bedrooms

In the past a child's bedroom had little more than a toy box, a book shelf and a few posters. Today it looks more like mission control at Houston.

Computers, mobile phones, televisions, DVD players, game machines, and other 21st-century toys fill the room, and often make the child's bedroom the most expensive in the house. Britain's 8- to 16-year-olds have bedroom possessions worth an average of £3.300.

But they don't just have hi-tech items. The average child’s room also has designer clothes, sunglasses, watches, jewellery, and sports equipment. More than four in ten children have rooms that combine home office, mini cinema, and gym. Nine in ten have a TV, and seven in ten a DVD player. Nearly all of them have a stereo system and six in ten have either a personal CD player, iPod, or MP3 player. One in four has their own computer.

With so much to do in their bedrooms. It is no surprise that children spend more time there than anywhere else in the house. One girl spends so long on her mobile phone in her room that her parents have to text her to speak to her. Another child disappears into his room as soon as he gets home from school and plays on his PlayStation until bedtime.

Children's bedrooms have become their kingdoms. Some families rarely do anything all together. People eat different meals at different times, and watch different TV programmes in different rooms.

Step 2 - Listening

A day in my life
You are going to watch a video of Ellie Thumann. She shows us a day in her life.

  • First read the questions of the assignment to prepare.
  • Watch the video.
  • Do the assignment.

Step 3 - Vocabulary

To be able to do all the assignments correctly, you need to know some words and sentences.
For each theme there are word lists ready in Wozzol, with which you can practice:

Vocabularylist My way

  • Study the vocabulary. (10 minutes)
  • Do the exercise.

Tip!
There are many ways to study vocabulary. You can read the words aloud or copy them.
The most important rule is never to spend more than 10 minutes studying words.
Every minute you spend longer is a waste of time.

Step 4 - Grammar

Study the section about the present simple.
When and how can you use it?
