Key points
- At the end of the school year, schools often have a party with a show, games and snacks.
- Party words: clown, magician, magic show, doughnut, gift, wish, certificate.
- To miss someone = to feel sad because he or she is not with you.
- We tell a story in order with first, then, after that, at the end.
- “ow” has two sounds: clown, now /aʊ/ and show, yellow /əʊ/.
