If Game + New text: "The Rolls-Royce"

Hey,

today we first started the class with a little "If game" and here is what we wrote in our lesson copy books about it:

"Speaking" :  "If" Games :

IF + PRETERIT => WOULD + VERBE

• If I broke a vase while babysitting I would pay for it or I would accuse the baby.
• If I could become invisible, I would strike it rich because I would steal from people.
• If I could fly away this instant, I would go to the USA.
• If it rained everyday of my holiday, I would buy an umbrella and I would feel disappointed.

Then we continued the lesson with the study of a new text. You had to find who the characters were and what their characteristics were. Here is the chart that we began drawing about them:
