Learning About Other Cultures

What are we learning today?

You will compare schools, jobs and daily life in different countries.

Explanation

• Read about people in different places.
• Jin Yang lives in Beijing. She goes to a gymnastics school. She sleeps at her school.
• Paco lives in Bogota. His school starts at 7.30 and finishes at 11.30.
• In the past, many Kazakhs were nomads or farmers.
• Use "but" to compare. Use facts. Do not say a life is bad.

Examples

1. Jin Yang doesn't live with her parents, but I live with my parents.
2. Paco's school finishes at 11.30, but our school finishes at 2.
3. In the past, many Kazakhs were nomads.

Remember!

• Compare with facts.
• Different does not mean bad.

Check yourself
