Do you want to go to the zoo? Julia and Henry are talking about the animals in the zoo. Let’s listen together.
Play the recording twice →students write in the names of the animals →draw a line between animals and adjectives
Step 4 Listening practice(2b)
Hear the recording again →complete the conversations with the words given →tell the words: very & kind of ( They always come just before the adjectives in the sentences. Look at the cartoons under 2b. We can make sure. Another example: if we are familiar with percentages, we might use the following scale to help explain their meaning:
0% 50% 95%
not kind of very)
