Different Ways of Life

What are we learning today?

You will learn to describe how people live in different places and to give your own opinion.

Explanation

• People in different places live in different ways.
• First describe the place. Then explain why people live like that.
• Compare it with your own town.
• Give your opinion with a reason.
• Do not say that one way of life is better.

Examples

1. In Coober Pedy, many people live underground because it is very hot in summer.
2. In Barrow, the sun does not come up again until January.
3. Some teenagers prefer houses because they are bigger and have more space.

Remember!

• Describe, explain, compare and give a reason.
• Use "This is because ..." and "In my town, we ...".
