Easy Grammar with Hamsters, or Welcome to GrammArea!
Шрифт:
I usually bake yummy things for everyone.
We also use Present Simple to talk about things that are always true:
Dogs wag their tails when they are happy.
A story about me
Talk! Dear friend! Homiq and Hammy think that if you say the hamsters’ names from Present Simple just one more time, you do a little magic. Tell Homiq and Hammy what YOU do usually, always, often, every day, every week, every summer, from day to day or seldom. Choose any magic words you like and make up a short story about yourself. You are most welcome to draw a picture which illustrates your story. Thank you!
Play! Homiq always makes up rhymes and poems. He’d like to share one of his favourite poems with us:
The house of my dream
In the house of my dream,
I can see ice-cream,
Cookies, pies and cakes,
Which my Mommy bakes.
In the house of my dream
Every day I dream
When I lie awake
Of blue sea and lake.
Every day I read,
Every day I eat.
I tell you, it’s good -
Eating in good mood.
I’ve got a pet hedgehog,
He is good and nice.
I can feed him always
With a mushroom slice.
When it’s dark already,
Always go to sleep -
On the softest pillow -
And my sleep is deep.
Hurr…..
Can you tell what Homiq does in the house of his dream? Well done!
Talk! You can see the picture of Homiq’s house below. Do you like it? Do you want to change anything? Would you like to have a pet hedgehog or any other pets? Mother Hamster has got three cupcakes in her paws. It’s for you and your Magic Friend! Would you like to have a bird nest under the roof of your house?
Talk! Now tell us about the house which YOU dream about. What kind of house is it? Is it a cottage, a villa or anything else? Imagine that you are in this house now. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you want to touch? What do you want to do there every day, always or sometimes? You are most welcome to draw a picture of the house of your dream.
It’s just wonderful! Thank you! Now it’s Hammy’s turn to dream. Let’s see what he dreams about:
Hammy’s dreams
I dream of blue sea,
Of the beach and of sand.
When we go to the seaside
For a lovely week-end.
I dream of sweet cookies
And of yummy cheese,
When we go to the seaside,
We walk in the breeze.
I run and swim there
(At the seaside, I mean)
And watch Homiq play
With his volleyball team.
I eat only pizza
(For dinners, I say).
And with all my hedgehogs
I spend the whole day!
Talk! Can you tell us all the things which Hammy does in his dreams? Thank you! Are your dreams just the same as Hammy’s? Draw a picture of what you usually dream about and tell us a few words about it.
The Best Customer (Do and Does in Present Simple)
Homiq and Hammy can see two shops in front of them. The first is called Daily Open – DO, the second one is Delicious Oranges Enormous Store – DOES. Let’s go and have a closer look at them.
Talk! Do you like oranges and orange juice? What about your Magic Friend? Who usually buys food in your family?
Homiq and Hammy ask Mrs. Often about these shops and she says:
A rap about the DO – shop
Sells all things – it’s Daily Open –
Spring and summer – and in autumn!
I and You and We and They –
Hurry here every day!
Who owns the DO-shop, my friend? Can you find them in the rap above and in the picture? We wonder about DOES – and here goes one more rap from Mrs. Often:
A rap about the DOES – shop
Delicious Oranges Enormous Store –
He reads the sign and opens the door.
