Transcription:

Today for our Speaking and Listening Workshop we’re going to be playing a game that involves past tense and using compound sentences, and perhaps some plurals:  the things that we’ve been doing over the last couple of weeks.  I’ll ask you to turn over one orange card, one yellow card, and use the words in a sentence.  For example, “Last week I wished for it to rain because I had been working in my garden very hard and I wanted the plants to grow.”  So I changed ‘wish’ from present tense to past tense, okay?  At the end of the game when we’ve all had a turn each I will ask you for one thing that you think you did well and one thing that you think you need to improve on:  a star and a wish, okay?  Are there any questions?  No?

No.

Cool.  Would you like to go next?

Okay.  I give, I give my grandma to go um shopping a short time ago.

Well done, okay.  You don’t, when you do this you don’t have to have them, the yellow one first and then the orange one:  you can have the orange one first so you’ve got the time first, and then the word, if that helps, okay?  Would you like to have another turn?

Mm.

Yeah?  So, a sh-…

A short time ago I, went to the beach and I gave, I gave mm fruit for my father.

Excellent, well done.  You used ‘gived, gave’ past tense correctly and you tried to use a compound sentence:  well done.  Your go.

Oh, last night...

Say it out loud so I can hear.

Last Night book.

Okay.

At last night I went to the zoo,  I look a tiger and koala.  Um, just koala look like a, mm, just I was confused and I, my eyes, I look koala, koala look like a kangaroo, kangaroo like koala.  

Well done.  Your go.

Ask On The Weekends.  Nice.  I went to the Sydney on the weekend and I ask my father why we come here.  Then my father say, “We just come from fun.”

Beautiful, well done.  You’ve used this as past tense, ‘ask to asked’ but ‘my father say, my father s-…’

Said.

Well done.  Excellent.
