Talking about your holiday

• Say something about where, when and with whom.

• Start simple, then add more details, such as things you did or your opinion.

Benadruk dat leerlingen niet meteen een lang verhaal hoeven te vertellen. Een veilig begin verlaagt de drempel om te spreken.

For example, you can say:

• where: at the beach, in Spain, at home

• the activity: swimming, visiting, playing, relaxing

• with whom: with my parents, with friends

• your opinion: It was nice. I really liked it.

Talking about the past

• When talking about your holiday, you talk about the past.

• You use words like went, stayed, visited, played.

• You often use was and were.

Houd het functioneel: het gaat niet om een volledige grammaticauitleg, maar om bruikbare vormen die leerlingen direct kunnen inzetten.

For example:

• I went to Italy in July.

• I stayed at home most of the time.

• We stayed at a campsite.

• I visited my grandparents.

• The weather was very nice.

• We had a great time.

My holiday

Houd het functioneel: het gaat niet om een volledige grammaticauitleg, maar om bruikbare vormen die leerlingen direct kunnen inzetten.

Your turn! Tell us about your holiday!
