Exercise 3: Look and complete

  • 1 (Example): a birthday party
  • 2: The image shows lit candles for a birthday celebration.
    \text{c}\mathbf{a}\text{nd}\mathbf{l}\text{es} \rightarrow \textbf{candles}
  • 3: The image shows a wrapped present with a ribbon.
    \text{a g}\mathbf{if}\text{t} \rightarrow \textbf{a gift}

    \text{a c}\mathbf{a}\text{k}\mathbf{e} \rightarrow \textbf{a cake}
  • 5: The image shows three party balloons tied together.
    \text{b}\mathbf{al}\text{l}\mathbf{o}\mathbf{o}\text{ns} \rightarrow \textbf{balloons}

Exercise 4: Circle the odd one

  • 1) a cake (Example: “a classmate”, “a school nurse”, and “a librarian” are people; “a cake” is food).
  • 2) May — “a balloon”, “a gift”, and “a candle” are birthday party objects, whereas May is a month of the year.
  • 3) a librarian — “an office”, “a music room”, and “a gym” are school facilities/rooms, whereas a librarian is a person/job.
  • 4) a sports field — “a headteacher”, “a caretaker”, and “a pupil” are people at school, whereas a sports field is an outdoor location.
  • 5) birthday — “February”, “July”, and “October” are names of specific calendar months, whereas birthday is a celebration event.
