Quick oral assessment (/10)

Going further

B2 towards C1For students who want to go on to language studies

A. Register: three ways to ask

Do you have Mrs Bun? is neutral and international. Have you got Mrs Bun? is typically British and informal (answer: Yes, I have / No, I haven't). Have you Mrs Bun? sounds old-fashioned today: you find it in Victorian texts.

Rewrite in the two other forms: 1. Do you have the grocer's son? 2. Has Emma got Miss Pots? 3. Have you the brewer's wife?

B. Reported speech

Report what the players said.

1. Lucas: “Emma, do you have Mrs Bun?”
2. Emma: “Yes, I do.”
3. Sara: “I don't have the doctor's son.”
4. Tom: “Could I have Miss Soot, please?”
5. Lina: “I've got the whole family!”
6. The teacher: “Don't speak French!”

C. Translate into English

Careful with the plural possessive: the sweeps' children (apostrophe after the s).

1. Est-ce que la fille du médecin connaît le fils du tailleur ?
2. Les enfants des ramoneurs travaillaient dur.
3. Excusez-moi, pourriez-vous me passer la femme du boucher, s'il vous plaît ?
4. Elle n'a pas la carte, alors c'est son tour.
5. Le jeu du boulanger et de sa famille amuse encore les enfants.

D. Read and discuss

1. Why do you think the publisher wanted a famous cartoonist?
2. What does a dyer do? Why is he called Dip?
3. Why were games for fun, not for lessons, something new at the time?
4. A name that matches a job is sometimes called an aptronym. Invent three aptronyms for jobs in your own field.

E. Write (120 to 160 words)

“Should your name decide your job?” Write a short, lively article for the school website. Use the Happy Families puns as examples, give your opinion and include at least two reported sentences.

Extension AEPE: lead a playground game
