Let me introduce myself Hello I am Liz. I’m a girl. I’m 11 years old and I’ve one sister and one brother. My sister is nine years old. Her name is Jennifer. My brother Peter is only one. I’m fond of my brother and sister. We live in a big house in London. My father is a minister in a church there. My grandfather and grandmother live in this house too. I’ve also got a dog called Tommy. It’s a black poodle. I love playing with my dog. When Jennifer and I play with him we sometimes dress him in Peter’s clothes and put him in a pram and then he looks like a baby. We then walk with him down the road and he is our black baby, but he sometimes jumps out of the pram, runs down the road, back home, in my brother’s clothes.

About me and my family
A funny telephone call for my aunt Mrs Jones Mrs. Jones is waiting for an important telephone call, but she has no bread in the house, so she leaves the baby at home and says to his five-year-old brother: “I’m going to the shops, Tim, and I will be back in a few minutes”. When mother is out, the telephone rings and Tim answers. “Hello”, says a man, “ is your mother there?”. “No”, answers Tim.
Uhh, how do you make a ‘B’?
The man says: “When she comes back, tell her that Mr Baker has telephoned”. “What?” “Mr. Baker. Write it down. B-A-K-E-R”. Tim asks: “Uhh, how do you make a ‘B’? “How do you make a B?”uestion 4 “Listen little boy, is there anybody else with you? Any brothers or sisters?” “Yes”, says Tim. “My brother Jimmy is here”. The man says: “Good, I want to talk to him, please”. And Tim takes the telephone to the baby’s bed and gives it to Jimmy”. When mother comes back, she asks: “Hello Tim, has anyone telephoned? ” “Yes,” says Tim, “a man, but he only wanted to talk to Jimmy”.

Reading
My teacher’s hobby My teacher thinks he has a nice hobby, but we don’t like it. He likes to write stories about his pupils. We are his pupils, so he writes about us! We don’t like that because he writes down everything we do: the nice things and the naughty things. He writes about Peter who is very good at reading and about Helen who eats sweets at school and about Tom who is always late. My teacher sends these stories to our parents so that they know how we behave at school. naughty = ondeugend behave = gedragen

takes them to a pond and shows them jumping frogs. Mummy has told Emily, “Do not come home alone. Wait for Harry, right?” “Yes, mummy, I will.” But Emily is a naughty girl. After school is over she says to herself, “I know where the house is. I don’t wait for Harry.” So, Emily starts for home without waiting for Harry. She walks on and on. But she can’t find her house. She only sees buildings that look new to her. Yes, Emily has lost her way! She begins to cry. Suddenly, she sees that a big dog is coming after her. She says, “Go away, doggie!” But the dog doesn’t go away. And Emily is afraid. Emily doesn’t know what to do. She stands on the road and looks around. And then she sees a park. “Oh, yes! Grandma lives near this park,’ she says to herself. Emily runs fast and reaches Grandma’s house. Grandma opens the door. She takes Emily in her arms and asks, “Why have you come alone, Emily?” Emily tells her how she has lost her way. Grandma rings up Emily’s mother. Soon mummy comes to take her home. “Mummy, I will not come home alone from school again”, Emily says. Now Emily waits for mummy or Harry to take her home every day.

Meervoud
• Bij she, he , it altijd + s • In plaats van she, he en it kan er ook een naam staan. Bij voorbeeld: Susan (= she) eats. Frank (= he) eats • In het Nederlands maak je de infinitief meestal door ‘en’ achter een werkwoord te zetten. In het Engels doe je dat niet, maar zet je er iets vóór, namelijk ‘to’. Bij voorbeeld: to walk (lopen), to cycle (fietsen), to read (lezen), to come (komen). Dit ‘to’ mag niet in de zin staan.
