A writing exercise for students at Level 4, ages 8 – 11
Let’s kick off with a speaking exercise:
Ask your partner these questions … and speak in ENGLISH only.
What is your English name ?
How old are you ?
What is your favourite food and why ? What food do you hate ?
What is your favourite game or toy, and why ?
Then present to the class.
Time for you to be creative and use your imagination.
First, some wonderful words. Translate them into your language:
excited
extraordinary (very, very special)
surprised
unbelievable
unique
Now, time to use them. Complete this story about a time when YOU met a talking animal. The animal can be real, or fantasy.
Try to use simple past [Verb 2].
After the writing, make a drawing or comic. Most importantly … have fun!
One [adjective] day I was walking down the street. Suddenly, I heard a [adjective] voice. I turned around but there was nobody there … only a/an {adjective + animal}
“Hello,” said the …
Tell me what happened. The animal can be:

How to turn some wonderful writing to a perfect piece of prose!
First, we need to arrange the text into paragraphs
Paragraph 1 – introduction
Paragraph 2 – first idea (what Princess L likes doing)
Paragraph 3 – second idea (what she wants to do in the future)
Paragraph 4 – conclusion (a short ending)
Second, we need to correct the grammar and alter any mistakes.
So, without any further ado … get to work!
Today, I introduce and tell you about what I like to do and my favorite job in the future. I like to play the piano and read comic books because is helps me relax and when I do this I’m over the moon. My favorite song to play the piano is baby shark and happy birthday song. But I want to play proud of you song however is very difficult. I always play the piano with my sister and my cousin.

Students around the ages of 10 or 11 move up to a higher level, and a harder book. To ensure that the students are able to deal with these increased demands, I’ve prepared a short test.
Most of the questions are based on work covered in the previous blocks, along with some extra questions based on grammar and vocabulary that I have taught.
Students will sit apart. Anyone caught cheating will receive a ZERO score. I am serious.
