Learning outcome

Learners will be able to speak and to write about Christmas characters, using the structures “He has…” “He/she can…”  “She/he is…” Pupils will apply vocabulary  from the topic “Personalities and  appearance”  they have learned during their previous lessons. All these will improve and reinforce students’ integrated language skills (using listening, writing and speaking)
