Now, let’s help Wang Yiming to finish his quiz card! On the left side, we have the FRONT of the quiz card, which contains questions, but each one is missing a Wh- word. On the right side is the BACK, where we find the answers. The last blanks on both the FRONT and BACK are for you to come up with your own ideas!
For the first question, the answer is “We call it a chick.” What’s missing here? [点击出现箭头] Yes! It’s “What” because we’re talking about A BABY PENGUIN!
Now, the answer is “They taste things with their feet.” What Wh- word would fit here? Exactly! [点击出现箭头] It’s “How” because WITH THEIR FEET tells us the way butterflies taste things.
Next, the answer is “Rocks help them digest food.” What should we use here? [点击出现箭头] Yes, “Why”, because the reason for chickens eating rocks is that rocks help them digest food.
Finally, for the last two blanks, I have my own idea, but feel free to come up with something different!
Now, take your time to finish the blanks. [播放10秒音乐]
