Yesterday , my friends

at the town square, passed by the library,
stopped at the museum and then crossed
the bridge.
It was a fun ride!
Yesterday is
a tip off that the speaker is referring to a completed past action. |

Expressions like when
I was younger and always tip you off that the speaker
is talking about things that may have happened repeatedly in the
past. |

When I was younger
|
|
... my family
always went to the park for my grandpa's
birthday. We visited the castle, and had
a delicious picnic. We liked to row a boat
in the pond, too. In the winter, we always
went ice skating there with my grandpa. It
is his favorite place. |
| |
|
Last year
|
|
| ...we did not
go because I got sick. |
|
|
Always...
|
|
for my grandma's birthday
in the summer, we went to the beach. My sister
and I played in the sand and we made sand
castles. We went last year but it rained.
How did you get there?
-I went on a bicycle...on a scooter, on rollerblades,
walking, in a car, in a taxi, on a bus, on a train, on a subway train,
on a boat, in a plane. |

9. C. Climates.
|
|
|
In
the spring, it rains a lot and there are
many flowers. The trees are very green. When
I was younger, I liked to walk in
the rain.
In the summer, it is warm and sunny. I am hot so
I wear shorts. My sister wears sandals. We used to go
to the beach every weekend. The water is so blue.
In the fall, I am a little chilly. I wear a
sweater and jeans. I used
to pick apples in the fall. The leaves on the trees are red,
yellow and orange.
In the winter, it is snowing and everything is white.
I am cold! We put on our ice skates and go to the pond. When
I was young, we always had
hot chocolate.
Remember that in Australia
you would say jumper. Also don't forget that Australia
is in the Southern Hemisphere and that the seasons are the opposite! |
