Homework for next Thursday!

Look around! Transport/Automobiles/Bicycles etc.

Learn the English words for things you use often when it comes to transport. For example when you rent a car abroad what words do you need to know to be able to get the car you want? If there is a problem with the car/bicycle can you describe this in English? Hastighetsmätare, växelspak, framdörr, bensinmätare, bagagelucka, sedan, kombi, vindrutetorkare... korsning, påfart....? Cykelns mest vanliga delar? Vilka ord är värdefulla att känna till på engelska. Användbara? Look them up, write them down today, learn them.

Your task:
Send me a message through V-klass - webcam where you tell me a short story (you need fantasy) in which you include your 25 words about transport/your bicycle/(family's) car... Show me by using the words in a context that you can pronounce and use the words...

When you spend time with new words, you remember them easier.
Pick, write down at least 25 words - but feel free to learn more...look them up in a dictionary ...
