Teacher Guide
Review useful vocabulary, based on the picture: a lady/ woman, an underground station, shop...etc. Check that the students know to use the pronoun 'she' and remind them to write using verbs in the past. As a start, it's a good idea to try and write 1 simple sentence for each picture. They can add more if needed. Have them check the word count - it should be at least 35 words. Remind the students that the past continuous is useful in storytelling and is used o descrive what was happening at a certain moment in the past.
