missing numbers in your notebook.

Tom

OK, let’s do the ‘True or False’ quiz.

What’s question

?

?

Katie

‘Mars is the

?

planet from the Sun.’

I think it’s true.

Tom

Are you sure?

Katie

Erm ... well, Mercury is the

?

planet

from the Sun, Venus is the

?

. Earth is

the

?

and Jupiter is the

?

. I think Mars

is the

?

.

Grace

I don’t agree. I’m sure Mars is the

?

planet, and Jupiter is the

?

planet

from the Sun.

Tom

What do you think, George?

George

I’ve got no idea!

Tom

Well, I agree with Grace.

Katie

Me too. Do we all agree?

George

Yes, OK. Mars isn’t the

?

planet

from the Sun. Let’s write ‘False’.

Work in groups of four. Act out the

conversation in Exercise 3.

That’s my biggest challenge ever: three

weeks alone in the jungle! I’m going to spend

the

first

(1) week in the forest and look for

an old hut with more food there. The

?

(2)

part of the challenge is to live on a boat for

a few days. I can’t leave the boat before I

catch my

?

(30) fish. By the end of the

week I must find the village where a secret

message is waiting for me. All I know is that

I have to find the

?

(22) house in that

village. So, wish me luck!
