Hi everyone, and welcome to Practical English. I’m looking forward to our classes together, and hope that you find the classes useful and rewarding. While I have had some of you in my classes last year, there are many of you who I have not taught before. So, in order to get to know you all a bit better I thought it would be nice to play a quick game of “2 Truths 1 Lie”. Do you know this game? In this game you must share three *very interesting* things about yourself, but 1 of these things should be a lie. Everybody then must try to guess which 2 things are true and which is the lie. So… your homework for this week is to write “2 truths” and “1 lie” about yourself. Then, I want you to read your classmates “truths and lies” and try to guess which is the lie. You should also give a reason for why you think it is a lie. Next week, please let us know the answer via this blog – and give us a bit of an explanation too. So here are my “2 Truths and 1 Lie”. Try to guess which is the lie!!
1. I held a live crocodile when I was about 7 years old.
2. I saw the famous actor and governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, when I went to San Francisco in 2007.
3. When I was little I had 8 pet guinea pigs.Looking forward to reading your entries,
Kris

Kris; I think that No.1 is a lie because I've never met anyone has a live crocodile.
返信削除Masayoshi: I know you hate getting up early, so I can easily say No.1 is a lie.
Haruki; I guess No.2 is a lie. If it is a truth, I want to have his autograph.
Youko; No.2 is a lie, isn't it? I haven't heard such a thing from you.
Terumi; I guess No.3 is a lie. More than 50 is too many.
Tohma; No.1 / Mayumi; No.2 / Tomohiro; No.2 / Daiki; No.2 / Yuu; No.3 / Miya; No.3 / Toru: No.2
Hi, this is Tomohiro
返信削除Tohma, I believe 2 is your lie. I've never seen you juggling a ball. If it is true, please do it next English class.
Mayumi. I think 2 is your lie. I just thought so.
Kubo, I think 3 is a lie. You seem to be good at swimming.
Daiki, I think 3 is a lie. Because the sentense is shortest.
Masayoshi, I think 1 is a lie. I guess you are the last person who can get up early in the morning.
Yu, I think 1 is a lie. I think you have many friends so you can watch TV at friend's home.
Miya, I think 1 is a lie. Becuase I saw you screaming "I love Shimonoseki". But, maybe just my imagination.
Tell me(Terumi), I think 2 is a lie. Because the sentense begins with "The truth is that". I think it is doubtfull.
Yoko, I think 2 is a lie. I think you would lived in America rather than Canada. And I also think you like America.
Toru, I think 2 is a lie. Because I saw you in America, you were dancing waltz in a bar.
Haruki, I think 1 is a lie. You seem to have lived more, at least one century.
