Boy: That's a small railway station - the one which is near our house has got lots of platforms.

Woman: Yes, it's a village station. Would you like to colour some of the picture?

Boy:Sure.There's a passenger who's getting off the train.Shall I colour his suitcase?

Woman: Yes.How about red?

Boy:OK.I can do that.

Can you see the red suitcase? This is an example. Now you listen, colour and write.

1 Woman:  OK.How about colouring the taxi?

Boy:    Oh, yes. I see - it's waiting outside the station.

Woman: That's it.

Boy:   OK.I've got a yellow crayon for this. Shall I use that?

Woman:  Good idea.

2 Woman:I'd like you to write something now.Can you see the signs with numbers 1 and 2?

Boy:  Yes.Oh,the word 'platform' is missing! Shall I write on the one where the people are waiting?

Woman: No.The one opposite that, I think.

Boy:  There! .

3 Woman: Now, find someone who might be cold....

Boy:   That boy who's standing in front of his bicycle looks cold.

Woman: Yes, I thought that, but he's got a scarf. Why don't you colour that?

Boy:  OK.I’d like to make it green.I've got one that colour.

Woman:  Me too!

4 Woman: Now I want you to write something again.

Boy:  Sure.I'm good at writing. What would you like me to write?

Woman: The front of the train shows where it's going, but there's a word which is missing.I'd like you to write "south?

Boy:    Above 'downs"?

woman:  That's right.

Boy: Now everyone can see where the train's going.

5 Woman: Lovely! Now, one more thing to colour. Can you colour the door?

Boy:   It"s difficult to colour the cafe door because it's open.

Woman: Oh! I didn't see that one. I meant the one for the bank on the other platform.

Boy:   That would be easier, yes! Can I colour it brown?

Woman: Yes, please.

Boy:   There - the picture's ready now.

Learners work in groups.They need a dice, a counter each and question cards (available online) face down in a pile.

Before playing each game, you may wish to practise language that learners will need (for example, dates/gears in Unit 1 game).

Go over the instructions.If learners land on a blue question square, the player to their right picks up the card and asks the question.

If learners are able to answer the question (or say the word / say and spell past form / etc.) they stay where they are.If not, they move back to where they were.Games with ladders and ropes: if learners land at the bottom of a ladder, they go up it, and if they land at the top of a rope, they go down.

The game finishes when one learner gets to the final square, or when all learners finish.

Woman: Really? That's amazing!

Can you see the letter D? Now you listen and write a letter in each box.

Woman: That ticket looks old. Did you get it a long time ago?

Michael: Well, at university.Two of mg friends played in a band and 1 went to one of their concerts, so I got it there.

Woman: Why have you kept it? Is it important?

Michael: Yes - because the guitar player's very famous now. I keep it in the cupboard in my bedroom. One day I might sell it!

Woman: Tell me ... what's the oldest thing here?

Michael: That's easy! My grandfather drove a taxi and he stopped work two years ago.I helped him to clean it and we found this suitcase.There was nothing in it, so he said 1 could have it.It might be more than70 years old!

Woman: Really?

Woman: Now, something very different.This tortoise. Did your paint it?

Michael: No, 1 didn’t! I remember I was very young and I found it at a train station.We were on the way to a festival.I've always kept it ...

Woman: Well, I think it's got a lovely face!

Woman: And your guitar? Has that got a story too?

Michael: It isn't really a story, but I got it in a strange place! My dad has a    friend who collects instruments.We met him one day at a car race and he gave it to me because he said he had too many of them.

Woman: That's always a problem if you collect things!

Woman: I can see that this is an old book, but not as old as the suitcase, is that right?

Michael: Yes. It's about the oceans of the world.Last week my friend invited me to his golf club for dinner.The building's quite old and I found it there.My friend said I could have it.

Woman: Have you read it get?

Michael: No, but I hope to find time next weekend.

Hi Katy!

Thank you for your email. It's Saturday morning and I've just had breakfast. Now I have time to write to you.

I went on a school trip to visit a castle with my class on 12th June.It was really interesting. We saw the clothes people wore in the past and we learnt about the way they lived. My favourite thing was the dungeon - it's the place where they kept the prisoners!

Write soon and tell me all your news.

Love [name]
