Summative assessment for the
unit “ Holidays and travel.”
Read the text: “Preparing
for a Family Holiday.”
When my family plans a
holiday, there is always a lot to do at home before we leave. We
start by tidying our rooms. I put my clothes in the wardrobe and my
books back on the bookcase. My brother makes his bed and clears the
table in the dining room. My parents take out the rubbish, vacuum
the living room, and clean the floor in the
kitchen.
After the house is tidy, we
pack our suitcases. In the bedroom, we take clothes from the chest
of drawers and fold them neatly. My dad always checks the bathroom
to make sure we have towels, toothbrushes, and soap. My mom
prepares snacks in the kitchen using the
microwave.
Before we leave, we do the
washing-up and make sure the washing machine is empty. Then we
check that all the lights, like the lamp in the living room, are
turned off. Finally, we take the dog for a walk and lock the door.
Holidays are fun, but getting ready takes a lot of
work!
