Finding something at lost property Talk about these questions in class. 1 Have you ever lost something while travelling? 2 Which of your possessions would you least like to lose? 3 Have you ever phoned or been to a lost property office? What was it like? Listen to three people phoning a lost property office. 1 Look at pictures A–F. Match one item with each conversation. 2 Does the office have the items? Match sentences 1–8 from the conversations with the pictures they refer to. 1 It’s a small, brownish, leather wallet. 2 It’s a black and grey sports bag with a shoulder strap. 3 It’s got some cash inside. 4 It has pink stripes on the outside. 5 It also has a little silver stripe on the bottom. 6 There’s a heart design on the front. 7 It’s got pockets on the side. 8 It’s quite small. Work together to answer the questions. 1 In which order do you say adjectives describing colour, material and size? 2 What other adjectives do you know describing colour, material and size? 3 What’s the opposite of the highlighted expressions in sentences 5 and 6? 4 What’s the difference between brown and brownish? Put the adjectives in brackets in the correct position. 1 a table (wooden, large, oval) 4 a bag (plastic, reddish, heavy) 2 a mobile phone (pink, new, smallish) 5 a sweater (wool, navy blue, big) 3 a box (metal, tiny, rectangular) 6 gloves (leather, black, new) Think of one of your possessions. Write three or four sentences to describe it. Don’t say what it is. Listen to each other’s sentences. Can you guess what the things are? Work in A/B pairs. A, you work in a lost property office. B, you’ve lost something, so you phone A to see if the office has it. A, look on p. 135; B, look on p. 140. Think about the language you need to: ■■ describe objects … in good condition … on the outside … on the top ■■ make deductions That sounds like it could be my bag. These must be your glasses. B, call A. Does the office have the thing you lost? Change roles. A, look on p. 135; B, look on p. 140. Then have another conversation. Have two more conversations like this. A, look on p. 135; B, look on p. 140. Did you find the things you lost?
