Think of at least 3 other dwellings you could live in, and look them up using a paper dictionary, or if you can go online, the online dictionary wordreference.com.
e.g. a tent / a cave / a treehouse ...or anything else you can think of, they can be silly!
TASK 5: ÉCRIVEZ -
Write 5 or more sentences saying where people live. Use the vocabulary box below.
e.g. Tu as une ferme - You have a farm.
A SECURE sentence will include a conjunction (and or but), and might use more than one pronoun (e.g. he and she) e.g. Il a une maison et elle a une caravane.
A MASTERY level sentence will include conjunctions, places (e.g. in Bristol) and use more than one pronoun (e.g. I and he). It might also include other dwellings you have looked up.
e.g. Il a une ferme à Wedmore mais elle a une ferme à Mark.
