What does your house look like?

Task: Read the following description of a house. You will have to make two drawings (tekeningen).

1. The outside of the house and street
2. the rooms inside the house.

Read the following description of the house:

I live on a street called Hillcrest. It is a beautiful street where each house seems to stand on it’s own little hill like royalty. There are trees literally everywhere. 415 is my house.

The living room is the first room when entering the house. This room is filled with very lively furniture. Comfortable, tan leather couches, colorful rugs over the bare wood floor, and a large display case with pictures, books, and many memories of friends and family. And I mustn’t forget about the enormous window that, during the day, will let as much sunlight in the room as it possibly can.

My sister’s room, on the first floor is just as colorful if not more. The walls are purple and there are crazy chalk drawings on some of them. Her room is also decorated with strange little trinkets like little wooden boxes, incense burners, and her own artwork. I don’t really go in there much. Mainly for privacy.

My parent’s room is right next to my sister’s room. A boring bed, a couple of wardrobes, a boring nightstand, is all that is in there. My parents have a blue bed and blue wallpaper.

The bathroom next to their room is pretty weird. There are elephants everywhere! Elephant candles, elephant mirrors, elephant pictures. I don’t really understand it, but it’s cool. The other bathroom, in the basement, is pretty much a piece of crap. The toilet hardly ever works and the shower is utterly disgusting. A piece of crap indeed. I’d rather use the upstairs bathroom.

Next to the living room is the kitchen. I only like the kitchen when there is good food in it. It’s a normal kitchen. That’s all. There’s a dinning room too. We never use it. Never. Doesn’t bother me anyways.

 

 

Sports and athletes

Everyone has a favourite sportsclub or athlete. Many pupils at het Munnikenheide College are big football fans. The football clubs that seem to be very popular are: NAC, Ajax, Feyenoord, PSV, etc.

However some people also have a favourite athlete. I really like Usain Bolt. His famous pose makes him into the popular athlete he is today.

 

Task: In pairs you will interview each other about your favourite sportsclub, athlete or hobby. You should ask minimum 10 questions. You can film or write the interview in Word.

For example:
– What is your favourite football club?
– How long have you been a fan of the club?
– How did you start getting interested in the club?
– Do you have a favourite player?
– Have you ever been to see any matches?
– If you had the chance to speak to your favourite football player, what would you ask him?
