• a typical day when 10.

Before doing that exercise go to Ben’s childhood text, and Past Simple

My name is Ben. I am seventeen years old now, but I remember my daily routine when I was ten.

I woke up at seven o’clock every morning. I ate breakfast, usually cereal with milk. Then, I brushed my teeth and got dressed for school. School started at half past eight. I had lessons like maths, English, and science. My favourite subject was art.

At twelve o’clock, I ate lunch at school with my friends. After lunch, we had more lessons. School finished at three o’clock. I went home and did my homework first. Then, I had free time. I often played football in the park or played video games.

I had dinner with my family at six o’clock. After dinner, I sometimes watched television or read a book. I took a shower and put on my pyjamas. I went to bed at nine o’clock. I read in bed for a short time before I slept.

How a small village turns a problem plant into beautiful crafts and stronger families.


Check out PRESENT SIMPLE first.

---

The Shinta Mani Foundation helps women in a small village. These women want a better life for their families. The Foundation gave them a loan with no interest. This means they can borrow money and pay it back later without extra cost.

The women use water hyacinth, a plant that grows too much and blocks rivers. They turn this plant into beautiful, eco-friendly bags. This helps the environment by using a plant that would be a problem.

Making and selling the bags gives the women money. They use the money to send their children to school, buy food, go to the doctor, and fix their homes. The work also helps the women stay close and support each other.

The women use traditional weaving skills. These skills come from their families and culture. The bags are strong and pretty. Many people who care about nature want to buy them.

This project helps the women and the environment. It gives the women confidence and independence. Buying these bags helps both the planet and the people.
