Let´s see if you could pose as a native in Málaga this summer...

THE LYING GAME

3º B :For our lesson on Friday I want you to do something in advance. We are going to play a game called The Lying Game. You have to say 4 sentences ( three truths and one lie). The rest of the class has to "guess" which sentence is the lie by asking a lot of questions to the person speaking.

YOU MUST WRITE THEM USING THE PAST SIMPLE! Sometimes the use of the Present Perfect would be more correct. So if you know how to use it, do it!

Here are mine...Guess which one is the lie!

I studied Chinese for a year.

I broke both arms when I was little.

I saw a suicide ( self-defenestration) when I was living in Granada.

I haven´t flown more than 20 times.

3º A for Thursday.

Advice: The sentences must be a bit shocking. It isn´t very interesting to say " I play football" or " I don´t like going out with my friends". Be more original and creative!!

I´ll mark your pronunciation and the speaking could be assessed too.

GOOD LUCK
