2) Say this extract in as many different ways as you can:

“Come along class three. Get the chairs and set them by the swimming pool
for our visitors. Now remember, the swimming gala starts at two o’clock
sharp. All those taking part this afternoon report to me at ten minutes to two

you. Any child not bringing a bathing cap will not be allowed to swim in the
gala. Don’t forget.”
