(I watch TV. I play computer games. I have breakfast, lunch, and dinner.)

without having Ss read the Remember! box. Then T puts them into
groups to go through the explanations and checks if their answers are
correct.
- asks Ss to work in pairs or individually to choose the correct form of
the verb in each sentence. T explains that they can use some clues in the

Sample answer:
First, my family always have breakfast together. Breakfast is a quick meal with just
bread or noodles because both my parents work and we, kids, have morning classes.
But the most important thing is that we can sit down together, eat healthy food, and
share our plans for the day. Second, we spend Saturday evenings as a family. We
often watch a film, share snacks, and then exchange our opinions after the film. I can
even argue and defend my ideas about the film with my parents or brother. Third, on
the second Sunday of the month, we visit our grandparents. We come to my
grandparents’ home quite early in the morning to help them do some housework such
as cleaning the house or washing clothes. Then, we have a big lunch with them. My
parents are very happy when we come to see them. The visits make me feel closer to
my grandparents.
