Hello and welcome to our global classroom! Today's activity is describing nouns.
Today we're going to describe nouns that are people. This will help you practice your listening and speaking.
These nouns are at an advanced level. However, learners of all levels can participate. You may even learn some new vocabulary words!
For this activity, Wes is going to describe six different nouns to you. Each of these nouns is about people.
You will have ten seconds to guess and say the answers. Please make sure to speak out loud.
Who cares if your neighbor hears you? They'll just hear you practice your amazing English skills!
Let's see an example before we start.
Wes will describe a word to me, and I will guess the answer. Here's the word:
Are you ready for the word?
Yes I am!
This person mostly would work in a bar, this is the person who makes your drink. They make cocktails, they pour beer. It's not a waiter or a waitress. This person is a ________.
Oh, that's easy! A bartender!
Yea, you got it, well done!
Thank you!
Now that you see how it's done, let's begin!
Wes will choose a noun and describe it to you, and then you will try to guess it.
Remember to say all the answers out loud, and after we finish all six words, I will go over the answers with you.
Ready? Let's get the clock up there!
Number one
Ok, so this is a person that you're in love with. When you get married it's your husband or wife, but before you get married, you're engaged and you call this person your ________.
Number two
This is somebody who rents you your home or your apartment and you pay this person every month.
This is the owner of that home or an apartment. You are the tenant and they are the _________.
Number three
This is a pet doctor. This is a profession, people study to become this type of doctor for animals.
If you have a pet like a cat or a dog, and they're sick, you take them to a ________.
Number four
So when you go to, for example, a nice restaurant, or a nice hotel, if there is nowhere to park the car, you would just pull up to the front,
you would give them the keys, and they would park the car for you. Their job is to park cars. What do you call this person?
Number five
When you have a large group of people that gather for an event or function, like New Year's Eve,
they're all together and it's very tight. This is what you would call the group of people. It is the ______.
Number six
This is a person, it's not your friend. You know who they are, but you don't really know them.
You might know their name, and if you saw them on the street you might stop and say hello. If it's not your friend, they are an ________.
So how did it go? I hope you were able to give an answer to all of those.
If you'd like to do this activity again before I tell you the answers, you can stop the video and go back to the start of the activity.
Now, onto the answers.
I'll replay some of the key words that Wes used in the description before I reveal the answers to you.
