The second pupil has to make a sentence comparing the two means of transport and using the adjectives in Ex.7.Then, the second pupil chooses two flashcards and the first pupil makes a sentence.

One pupil writes an adjective from Ex. 3 i a cell in the grid and makes a sentence with it.The other pupil writes the opposite of that adjective in another cell and also makes a sentence. If the sentences arc correct, they get to mark the cells accordingly, with ar X and O. Repeat with the remaining pupils.
