It's about a girl who falls into a strange world. That's right. There are many weird characters. But I want to know more. Do you have the book Yes. I can lend it to you. Thanks, I can't wait to read it.”). Walk around to help with vocabulary and sentence structures. Then invite some pairs to share their conversations.
