Lesson idea
Ju interviews her teacher Emily about England and discovers that many things people believe are stereotypes, and we learn quantifiers.
Lesson vocabulary: stereotype: a lazy general comment about a group of people that is often not true · queue: to wait in a line · polite: having good manners · rude: not polite · interview: a meeting where one person asks another questions · quantifier: a word that tells us how much of something there is
Key points
- Countable nouns can be counted, like apples. Uncountable nouns cannot, like air.
