They listen as the teacher describes the lives of three grandfriends, choosing the pictures which correspond to each person.

The teacher reads the sentences
Hi Tatamsally,
There aren't audio files for this lesson, the teacher reads the statements from the lesson plan. That way the teacher can change any content to be more suitable for the class and the people they may know or find interesting to talk about.
