Write a postcard to a friend about an island trip and practice using 'this is a' and 'that is a' with objects.

Here is how to complete the tasks:

a) Let's write
Here is an example of how you can fill out the postcard:

Dear [Friend's Name],

I had a wonderful time on the island trip! The beaches were beautiful, and the water was so clear. I saw many colorful fish when I went snorkeling. I even built a big sandcastle. I wish you were here with me!

From,
[Your Name]

Name: [Friend's Name]
House number and street name: [e.g., 123 Main Street]
Place/suburb: [e.g., Green Valley]
City: [e.g., Springfield]
Code: [e.g., 12345]

b) Let's talk
This activity teaches you how to use "This is a..." for objects that are near to you and "That is a..." for objects that are far from you.

• If an object is close to you, you would say: "This is a [object name]. For example, This is a book."
• If an object is far from you, you would say: "That is the [object name]. For example, That is the window."

You can practice by pointing to different things in your classroom and saying the correct sentence.
