Classwork–Surprise! , slide 5, exercises, slides 7-12,


This is a copy of original copy. Go over it and fill in the blanks with the right words from the box below.

Jerry and Emma are husband and wife. It’s summer, and Jerry’s birthday is approaching. Emma wants to give him a surprise for his birthday, but she wants it to be a surprise, so she must keep everything a secret.
But she has a big problem. If Jerry cannot know about her plan, how does she find out what to get him for his birthday?
She decides to use a secret technique. For a whole week, while she pretends to do other things, she actually listens very carefully for clues.
However, Jerry doesn’t really talk about this matter. A whole week passes with no mention of something he actually wants or needs!
“That’s it!” Emma thinks to herself. “Jerry’s birthday is tomorrow! I’m taking off the gloves!”
She calls her sister-in law, Mary, and they make a secret plan.
Mary will call Jerry, ask him what he would like to receive for his birthday, and Emma will listen to the conversation (without Jerry knowing it).
The scheme starts out as planned. Mary calls Jerry, and they have a nice chat about his upcoming birthday. Emma listens carefully from the other room.

Finally, she hears what he wants — a pair of sneakers!
“All right!” she whispers to herself.
Full of excitement, she runs out of the room. She is not so quiet, but who can blame her?
She rushes off to the shop and buys a pair of white sneakers, exactly Jerry’s size. She’s very happy. She will get him the present he wants, and it will be a big surprise!
Tomorrow is Jerry’s birthday. Emma waits during their special dinner at night.
Finally, the moment arrives. It’s time for Jerry’s present!
Emma brings in the box of sneakers, wrapped in colorful paper.
“Wow!” Jerry says with a big smile. “I wonder what it is.”
“Open it and see for yourself!” Emma replies happily.
He tears off the colorful paper and takes out the box. He opens the box.
“Oh, it’s a… pair of sneakers! What a lovely… surprise…”
Emma sees that something is wrong. “What’s the matter? You don’t seem so happy. Don’t you need a pair of sneakers?”
“Hmm.” Jerry takes a look at each shoe.
“Well, didn’t you tell Mary that you wanted a pair of sneakers?” Emma asks him.
“A pair of sneakers?” Jerry starts to laugh. “I said a pair of speakers! You seem surprised. Well, I guess I could use a pair of sneakers, too!”

Emma and Jerry both really like watching movies, but they don’t like the same kinds. Emma likes scary horror movies because she enjoys feeling scared and excited. Jerry likes romantic movies because he enjoys happy stories with love and nice endings.

At first, they don’t know their tastes are so different, so they happily invite each other to watch their favorite movies. One day, Emma makes Jerry watch a horror movie called The Bloody Ax. Jerry gets very scared and hides his face because he cannot handle it.

Later, Jerry tries to show Emma a romantic movie, but Emma feels bored and doesn’t enjoy it at all.

After that, they finally understand that they like different kinds of movies. But they also learn something important: even if friends don’t like the same things, they can still be good friends and have fun together.

Today my grandmother and I played an Easter game called egg hunt. During that game, we have to throw eggs at each other, and whoever doesn't break them wins. My grandmother and I love it very much, because we have played together since i wese little. Usually, eggs are painted red on Easter. This symbolizes the color of the blood of Jesus Christ. I love Easter very much, because it is full of joy.

Easter is a very happy holiday in Armenia. We call it Zatik. It is about Jesus Christ and his resurrection.

On Easter, people go to church. They light candles and pray. People say, Christ is risen and others answer, Blessed is the Resurrection of Christ.

At home, families make a big table with tasty food. We eat fish, rice, greens, and eggs. The eggs are red, and they are very beautiful. Red color means life and love.

My favorite part is the egg game. We hit eggs together. If my egg doesn’t break, I win! It is very fun and funny.

In my family, we color eggs together. We sit, eat, laugh, and spend time together. I really like Easter because it is warm and joyful.

Easter is my favorite holiday because I can be with my family and have fun
