| : ! Hello everyone! Welcome to learning English with the British Council. My name is Vicky. What's your name? Fantastic. How are you feeling today? You feeling good? You feeling great? Or are you feeling fantastic? I'm feeling fantastic. And you know why? Because today we are going to learn so many new things together. Are you ready to start? Let's go! We'll start with a game. I've got a word in my mind. Can you guess the word? My word has to do with animals. Animals that live in our house. Like dogs, cats, fish. So what is my word? I'm going to help you. This is my word. Can you see the first letter? Which letter is that? You're right. It is the letter P. So my word starts from the letter P. But what's my word? I'm going to help you a little bit more. Can you find my word now? Can you see the last letter? The last letter is T. So I've got a word in my mind that starts from P and ends in T. What's the letter in the middle? Can you see it now? I think you can. And you're right. My word is the word PET. PET. What is a PET? Pets are animals that live in our houses. So can an elephant be a PET? Of course it can't. Elephants are not pets. Can you spell the word PET? The word PET starts from the letter P. P. And then we've got the letter E. E. That is a short sound. P, the first letter. E, the second letter. And the last letter is the letter T. So we've got P, E, T. PET. Exactly. Now you know how to spell the word PET. Let's move on. In my house I have got four pets. My mum is not really happy but I love my pets. Do you want to meet them? Let's go. What do you think is the first pet I've got in my house? Hmm. I'll give you a clue. What pet is that? Is it a cat? No, it's not. Is it a tiger? Of course not. Tigers are not pets. You're right. It is a dog. His name is Kink. My dog's name is Kink. Very well done. I also got a second pet. What is my second pet? So this time I'm going to help you a little bit more. What is the second pet I've got in my house? Let's see. My pet is really colourful. It's red, blue and yellow. It lives in the jungle and it can fly. So, let's think. It's colourful because it has got three colours. It's red, blue and yellow. And it can fly. So what is it? You're absolutely right. It's a parrot. His name is Pablo. So I've got Pablo the parrot in my house. Isn't that amazing? Now, do you remember the first pet? My first pet was King the dog. And the second one is Pablo the parrot. Very well done. But how many pets have I got in my house? I've got four pets. King the dog, Pablo the parrot and the third one? Let's see. My third pet makes the sound meow, meow. So what is it? I think this is an easy one. Let's see. Which pet makes the sound meow? And you're right. It's a cat. My cat's name is Princess. So I've got King the dog, Pablo the parrot and my cat. And her name is? Do you remember her name? Exactly. It's Princess. And what sound does my cat make? Can you make the sound of a cat? That's right. Very well done. Now, let's see if you can guess my fourth pet. So far we've got a dog, a parrot, a cat. And what is my fourth pet? It could be a fish. But I don't think it is. So I'm going to give you some clues. My pet has got very big ears. It can run fast. It can jump. And it likes eating carrots. I like carrots as well. Sometimes we eat carrots together. So think. Which pet has long ears? It can run fast. It can jump. And it likes eating carrots. Can it be a mouse? No, it can't. Can it be a spider? I don't think so. You're right. It is a rabbit. My rabbit's name is Susie. So, how many pets have I got in my house? I've got four pets. Let's see if you remember them. King the dog. And what's the name of my parrot? It's Pablo. You're right. What's the name of my cat? It's Princess. And Susie is a fish? No, Susie is a rabbit. You're all fantastic. Now, I want you to look at these pictures for five seconds. Because then we are going to play a memory game. I'm going to test your memory. That's right. So look at these pictures. We've got King the dog, Susie the rabbit, my cat Princess and Pablo the parrot. Are you ready? Let's go. Now, what can you see? You can see four colourful boxes. A blue box, a red box, a yellow box and a green box. What do you think it is behind the blue box? Which pet is behind the blue box? Is it Susie the rabbit? No, it's not. You're right. It's my dog King. I forgot to tell you something. My dog can run really fast as well. He runs around the house and he runs in the garden all day. Now, what is behind the red box? Is it my cat Princess? Or is it Pablo the parrot? Let's see. You're right. It's my rabbit Susie. And do you remember what did we say about Susie? Susie has long ears. Very good. She can run really fast. And what else can she do? She can jump. That's right. And what does Susie like eating? She likes eating carrots. Very well done. So let's see what is behind the yellow box. So far we have seen the dog and the rabbit. So is it the cat or is it the parrot? Hmmm... Do you have a good memory? You're right. It's my cat Princess. So now let's see what is behind the green box. It's my last pet. Do you remember it? Do you have a good memory? I think you do. Exactly. My parrot is behind the green box. Do you remember the name of my parrot? Well done. His name is Pablo. And what is special about Pablo? Does Pablo have long ears? No, he doesn't. But he is very colourful. Very well done. Because as you can see he is red, yellow and green. Exactly. My parrot is very colourful. And can my parrot run? Of course not. Parrots cannot run but they can fly. Exactly. Now we will play another game. Can you see the four pets I've got in my house? Now I've got one of the pets in my mind. The pet that I've got in my mind can run. So let's see. Which pet can run? Can dogs run? Yes, they can. Can cats run? Of course they can. And can rabbits run? Yes, they can and sometimes they run really fast. But what about parrots? Can parrots run? No, they can't but parrots can fly. So the pet that I've got in my mind cannot fly. Now the pet I've got in my mind can run and it can also jump. So can rabbits jump? Yes, they can. Can cats jump? Yes, they can. And can dogs jump? Yes, they can. I'll give you another clue. The pet I've got in my mind can run, can jump and it is small. King the dog is not small at all. King is very big. So the pet I've got in my mind can run, can jump and it is small. So is it the rabbit or is it the cat? I think you need some more help. The pet I've got in my mind has long ears. Big and long ears. Do rabbits have got big ears? Yes, they do. Do cats have got big ears? I think yes, sometimes they do. So which pet have I got in my mind? I'll give you another clue. My pet can also climb. So, so far we've said that the pet can run, can jump, it is small, it's got big ears and it can climb. Can you find it now? You're right, it's a cat. Princess the cat can run really fast, can jump, she's small, she's got big ears and she can climb. One day she climbed up on a tree and I couldn't find her. Now let's see what have we learned today. You can name different pets. Can you tell me if you've got a pet in your house? Have you got a dog? Have you got a cat? Have you got a parrot? Have you got a rabbit? Or maybe you might have another pet, a fish, a spider. A friend of mine has got a small snake. So now you can name different pets. You can also describe your pets. Remember some of the words, colourful, big ears. Some pets have got big eyes as well. And also you can say what can animals do. Some animals can run. Some animals can fly. Some animals can climb. That was it for today. Thank you very very much and remember to take care of your pets. Bye bye everyone! |
