Audio description:

Kardia dice Did you ever hear someone describing some other person’s clothes?

Did you ever hear someone talking about their local festivity?

It is possible that you didn’t, but I am sure you usually listen to a lot of audio files in English.

So, keep calm and remember every single tip your teacher always tells you to do.

Listen to the recording as many times as you need.
Do not try to understand every word. Try to understand only key words and the general meaning.
Pay attention to intonation. Intonation will give you information about emotions, feelings and intentions of the person talking.

2. Partyreka!

Let's work together in groups.

First, read the cards so that everyone understands the meaning of every word.

You can use a dictionary in case you need it. In this learning guide you can find the instructions to work in groups.

Your teacher will give the game to play with your classmates:

Partyreka!

Object of the game:

Find objects on the tiles to win cards. Win the most cards.

Components:

9 different tiles and 110 cards.

There are two types of cards:

image + word
definition of an image

Setup:

Place the 9 different tiles on the table.
Shuffle the cards and place them face down next to the tiles.

How to play:

Place one card face up next to the game board so that everyone can see it.
Now, everyone starts finding the image on the board game that matches with the card face-up.
As soon as anyone finds a matching picture, they yell out “Partyreka!” and point out the image on the board game and say the word of the image (E.g., witch).
The first player to find the image on the board gets the card.
