Hello everyone,
Has anyone seen the new X-Men Movie? It’s supposed to be insane! A schoolmate got the opportunity to interview the cast of the X-Men Apocalypse.
Watch the interview here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGjzRt7zB-A
Task: Write an interview about your favourite movie. Use the stones in your handbook as a guideline. You can talk about a film or pretend you are an actor or actress from the film! Use your creativity!
Task: Read the following description of a house. You will have to make two drawings (tekeningen).
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.
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?
Present Perfect is used when speaking about unfinished time. You use the present perfect to talk about something that started in the past and is still going on now.
You form the present perfect by using have / has + voltooid deelwoord.

I have been to Texas once, but plan on going again this summer.
When I have to think about a person who inspires me, I would have to say I really admire the actress Audrey Hepburn. She was such a class-act, always dressed to the nines. My favourite film, where she plays the leading role, has to be Sabrina (1954). She has such elegance, grace and style.
Apart from being a great actress, she was also very involved with UNICEF. She did a lot of humanitarian work for children in third world countries.
Task: Who is your hero? This person may be famous, but can also be someone you know. Write at least 15 sentences where you introduce this person, say why he/she is your hero. Describe 1 heroic deed this person did.
Hi everyone,
In today’s blog post I will tell you some more about my family. So my dad has short, straight grey hair. He often wears red trousers, which makes him look like Father Christmas… 🙂 He has green eyes and loves reading.
My mother is rather tall for a woman. She has short, red hair and blue eyes. She loves wearing a lot of jewellery, like earrings, necklaces and broaches. She often wears dresses with long boots. My mum loves going to garden centres and long walks on the beach.
My sister has long, dark blond hair. She has grey eyes. A few weeks ago she fell off her bike and now has a scar on her chin. She is very afraid of snakes.
I have long, blond hair and green eyes. I love wearing dresses and high heels. When I was younger, I always wore an uniform. So my love for skirts and dresses started at a very young age. However, once I come home I immediately change into my pyjama’s.. But, shhhh, don’t tell anyone!
Task: Write five sentences about your family members and your best friend(s). Use the sentences in your handbook as a guideline. Make sure mind your spelling and capital letters!

Hello guys,
I would like you to tell me about what you did last night. I cooked dinner for my roommate and my friend Sebastian. We had spaghetti bolognaise, very Italian! Then we laughed at some Vines on Instagram, they were so funny! It was a long time since I had been on Instagram. The last time I checked it was about a week ago. Afterwards, I corrected some tests and then I finally went to bed. 🙂 What did you do?
Task: Write at least 10 sentences using the simple past to talk about what you did last night. Post your story under this post! 😉
