Objective. That students understand, identify and correctly use possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) in English to express ownership or relationship between people and objects, through the construction of simple sentences and examples from everyday life, thus developing their ability to communicate clearly and correctly in the English language.

In this A1-level ESL worksheet, your students must fill in the blanks with the appropriate possessive adjective in the English language: my, your, her, his, its, our, or their. 

Janet completed an online questionnaire and checked the activities she likes. Complete 
each sentence about her. Use the correct forms of the verbs. In some cases, both the 
gerund and the infinitive are correct.

Simple present

• We use the simple present tense to talk about routines. 

E.g., My mom makes breakfast every day.  (It happens all week, from Monday to Sunday, repeatedly.)

• Structure

Positive - Subject + main verb + complement.

                He           brushes       his teeth.

Negative - Subject + don't/doesn't + main verb + complement.

                 They         don't                wake up        early.

Question - Do/Does + subject + main verb + complement?

                  Does        her sister    have        breakfast at 9h00?

Be careful! When you use the third person (he, she, it), the main verbs change (E.g., they drink - she drinks), but for negatives and questions, we use the auxiliary doesn't and does for he, she, and it. (E.g., we don't understand - he doesn't understand).

• Daily routine phrases

1. I wake up at 6:00 a.m.                   I brush my teeth.
2. I have breakfast.                            I get dressed.
3. I go to school                                 I do homework
4. I have lunch                                   I take a shower
5. I have dinner                                 I go to bed.

In Aster’s Good, Right Things each chapter starts with her good, right thing for that day. These are a brief synopsis or summary of each chapter. Use this same technique to summarise a book of your choice in the space below. The overview should be around 3 sentences long and similar to a blurb on the back of a book giving readers a taste of what the book is about - but don’t give too much away.

Aster’s Good, Right Deeds are generally things she does to make other people feel good. They are also based on her belief that by doing good, right things she will be able to control her environment. This is a form of superstition as it is not based on reason or scientific knowledge but emotion and wishful thinking.

5 Amazing facts about Women in Sports

1. Although women were technically permitted to participate in many sports, relatively few did until the late 19th century, when women's sport history is considered to start. Back then, although horseback riding, archery, golf, tennis, skiing and skating were practiced among women in the upper social class, there was often disapproval of women who played sport.

2. The first Olympic games in the modern era, in 1896, were not open to women. The first time for female athletes to participate in the Olympic games was in 1900. Only 12 female athletes participated out of the 1066 athletes from 19 countries. They competed in only golf and tennis. In the 3rd St. Louis Olympics, archery was the only women's event. In the 4th London Olympics, archery, figure skating and tennis became women's events, and diving, swimming and tennis in the 5th Stockholm Olympics.

 3. There are a few sports where men and women compete together: in mixed events or in truly mixed sports. Sports that operate in mixed events are badminton, luge, tennis and ice skating. In badminton, men and women compete as a male/female duo; in luge they compete by teams with equal numbers of men and women; in tennis, men and women compete as a male/female team in mixed doubles matches; and in ice skating male/female pairs compete together performing a dance on the ice.

 4. Sports where men and women compete against each other regardless of sex, as the physical differences between them are considered to not have any effect on the outcome of the competition, are equestrian, in which the attributes required to win are just to be an able rider, and sailing, but only in one particular class, the Nacre 17.

 5. Women that have broken boundaries in sports! African American sprinter Wilma Rudolph was the first  woman to win three gold medals in a single Olympics. Despite the loss of strength in her left leg, caused by polio, she became the fastest woman in the world at the 1960 Olympics. Former World No. 1 Billie Jean King is regarded as one of the greatest women's tennis players of all time. She won 39 Grand Slam titles, including 12 in singles, 16 in women's doubles, and 11 in mixed doubles.

At the airport, Maria walked towards the check-in desk attendant. She smiled and said, "May I see your ticket?" Maria handed over her ticket and passport. The attendant looked at them and asked, "Would you like a window seat or an aisle seat?" Maria thought for a moment and replied, "A window seat, please."

The attendant then said, "Could you place your bag on the luggage belt?" Maria put it on the belt. The scales weighed her bag and the attendant checked if it was within the baggage allowance. "Your bag is fine," said the attendant. "Please keep in mind not to carry any hazardous materials in your carry-on bag."

Maria thanked the attendant and took her boarding pass. She walked towards the departure lounge. Along the way, she passed several shops and cafes. She decided to buy a coffee and a magazine to read while she waited.

In the departure lounge, Maria found a comfortable seat near the big screen that showed flight information. She looked at her boarding pass and saw her flight number. The screen showed that her flight leaves at 10:30. She had some time to relax.

After a while, there was an announcement. "Attention, passengers on flight 5678 to New York. Please go to gate 5 for boarding." Maria stood up,took her suitcase and carry-on bag, and walked towards gate 5. She saw other passengers already in line at the counter.
