Reading Comprehension exercise
This reading will give practice on the past continuous forms USED TO and WOULD. I heard this story on the radio - a fellow saying he always used to measure the heads of any boyfriends his daughters brought home and it made me laugh out loud! Can you believe it? ;-)

Sunnytown and Rainytown
A gap fill and a true and false exercise. To edit, just remove the red border. I keep putting these borders on, maybe I shouldn´t bother - not too good for the environment, using extra ink, but they look good. Any feedback?

The Meteorologist and the Mule
RC with T/F and questions. A fable/tale with a moral. I used ´mule´ in the title for alliteration purposes really - it´s a donkey, but these words can be used synonymously.

RC: my husband: the good the bad and the ugly
A fun way to look at the present simple and household chores. A woman complains about her lazy husband. It is not autobiographical - my husband is a perfect angel.
NOTE: I hate ironing - here ironing is a verb. I hate the ironing - here, it is the noun. Either one is OK (it´s in the last sentence).

Harry Potter vs Gandalf
This powerpoint compares Harry with Gandalf. There are a number of activities: two clozes - missing words and missing vowels, a true or false and pictures that can be used for memory games/guessing games or splat. (I´ve had to reduce picture size to get in the limit, but you can easily enlarge them....

Christmas ´Guess who I am?´ or ´Guess what I am?´
The clues first, then the image flies in. This is not an original idea. Also, the last slide isn´t really about Christmas, but I couldn´t resist! ;-)
