To my two nieces,
I'm coming to visit you this weekend. It's been a long time since we've been together and I want to see you very much. Your mother said you were doing a lot of homework. That's good. You must study hard so you can graduate with good grades. I want to invite you to go to the museum on Saturday. It has some really good exhibits that I'm sure you'll enjoy. It'll be great fun to see you.
Love,
Aunt Anne
Why were the girls disappointed with aunt Anne's visit and what did they do about it?
Preparation time: 30 seconds
Response time: 60 seconds
Possible answer: The girls were disappointed with their aunt Anne's visit because they had made other plans for Saturday. One was going on a picnic, and the other had to tidy her bedroom. As they hadn't seen their aunt for a long time, one of them said she could use the visit to the museum proposed by their aunt to write her art class paper on that, and the other left cleaning up her bedroom for another day.

School family day
Our family day at school will take place on the first Saturday in April. This will be the perfect chance for us to show our parents and friends the new things we have this year. For instance, the climbing wall on the west wall of the gym. All families are welcome to use the park behind the student center for picnics. If you have any questions you may contact the Administration Office at any time.
What were the plans for the family day at school? Why and how were they changed?
Preparation time: 30 seconds
Response time: 60 seconds
Possible answer: The family day at school was to show parents and friends the new things they had, like the climbing wall and the park behind the student center for picnics.

Do you agree with the decision George made about going out with his family first and then finishing his homework? Why?
Preparation time: 20 seconds
Response time: 60 seconds
Possible answer: I agree because sometimes you can't do everything you want. He wanted to go out with his family, so he decided to do that on Saturday and to finish his homework on Sunday, instead of going hiking. He could go hiking some other time and he was doing exercise playing football with his relatives, anyway.
