Talking about your home

Page history last edited by Alejandro Marco 13 years ago

1. Watch this video about homes.

 

 

2. Watch the video again and take the quiz below.

 

 

3. Read and listen to Andy's description of his flat. Then, answer the questions below.

 

Hi everybody!

My name's Andy. I live in a flat in New York. My flat is big and confortable, and it's on the first floor of the building.

In my flat, I have got three bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living-room.

My family and I normally have lunch in the living-room because we have chairs and a table there. There is also a sofa, a cupboard and, of course, a TV.

As for my room, it has a big desk to do my homework, a swivel chair, a bed and a wardrobe. My room's curtains are red and my bed's cover is red too. I love red!

See you soon! 

 

 

 

4. In your notebook, write a description of your home, taking Andy's description as a model. Remember to talk at least about:

          

     - Your town/city.

     - Your type of dwelling (house/flat)

     - The different rooms in your house.

     - Include a description of your bedroom in which you talk about the different pieces of furniture you have.

5. In your personal page, publish a table with the written text and a Voki avatar that reads your description aloud. Listen to it as many times as you need to focus on pronunciation.

6. Now go to Voxopop (voice forum) and record your own voice reading your home's description aloud.

7. In your personal page, include a link to the voice forum where you recorded your voice.
