3 Language Skills Warm up 1 Look at the pictures. What can each person do? Reading 2 Read the blogs and check your answers. List all the things each person can do well. YOUNG INFLUENCERS Ben This is me in my kitchen. As you can see, I can cook really well – that’s because it’s my job! But what you can’t see is that I can also speak French and Italian – thanks to my time training as a chef in France and Italy. I can’t use the computer very well – as all the staff at the restaurant can tell you. And I can’t sing at all! That’s a bit mean but it’s true. On the other hand, I can dance really well and I can dive a bit (also from my time in Italy) – oh, and I can ride my scooter really carefully to work every day. Natasha This is me with my band: “Revolution”. We’re awesome! We can all play different instruments. I can play the guitar quite well and the drums a bit. Oh, and I can sing really well; that’s lucky because I’m the band’s singer. I can also read and write music really well – I love it! I can’t dance very well though – and that’s a bit of a problem in a band. I can’t cook at all according to the band: we have takeaways if it’s my turn to cook! And I’m not very good at sports, but I can ride a bike. It’s great for getting new ideas for songs in my head! Izzy I can only really do one thing well – play video games! I am semi-professional. Oh no, that’s not true! Actually, I can speak a few foreign languages well too: Aramaic because my dad’s family is from Syria, and French, because my mom’s family is from the Ivory Coast. There are lots of things I can’t do: I can’t sing or play an instrument, or dance. I can’t swim very well, and I definitely can’t dive! But I can cook a bit, thanks to my grandma, and I can use a computer really well too, thanks to the gaming. 3 For each question, write the name of the people from exercise 2. Who… 1 … can cook a bit? _____________ 4 … can’t dance very well? _____________ 2 … can ride a bike? _____________ 3 … can ride a scooter? _____________ 5 … can’t dive at all? _____________ 6 … can’t sing at all? _____________ 20
