English Unit 3

 Here are the things that we have to review:

Listening and reading comprehension. Example:

In one of my favourite books, a boy called Tom lived in two planets at the same time. He was a time-travelling detective (always wearing a striped t-shirt) and had a lot of work to do, he used a car as a time machine to go to the future where everybody had swords. There was a woman called Joan of Arc who helped him. While he was doing all these adventures, time went very fast in his world. When he got home, everyone was old and he was very confused. He had to change his time machine to fix this situation. What could he do? His assistant told him that there was a spaceship that could solve the problem because the car could not go to the past, the car could only go to the future. What a big problem they had!

Tom and his assistant went to Australia to find this new spaceship that could travel in time. They finally found it in the middle of the desert. It looked like an UFO and had an electromagnetic shield. It was amazing and Tom felt very excited! They got inside the spaceship and pressed a button that said time machine and they went to the past, exactly 30 years. When they got back home everybody was the same and they were again in the present.

After this, Tom promised not to travel in time anymore! Now, he knows that he doesn’t fancy time-travelling anymore. He wants to be a reporter.
