Back to school!!!
Are you ready to kick off the new academic year?
Let's start introducing ourselves!
First,,,think about simple questions you can ask your classmates you don't know yet. and tell the teacher to write them on the board. Now, write them in your notebook. Then split into pairs and in turns ask each other questions. You should take notes and try to remember as much as they can about your partner. Finally, you will tell the class how much you remember about that person.
