The truth
I can tell a story about a past event and present facts clearly.

Look at the photo. Who can you see? Where are they? How do they feel?
Подивись на фото й скажи вголос дві речі, які бачиш. Не пиши, просто скажи.
The story
Спершу послухай і стеж за текстом. Потім прочитай ще раз сам(-а). Незнайомі слова натискай.
Sam goes to basketball practice. He's angry, but he's calm. He shows the team the original photo. A boy called Kyle looks at the floor. “It was a joke,” he says. “I used an AI app to put your poster on an old photo. It took two minutes. I didn't think people would believe it.”
“It wasn't funny,” says Sam. “They could close the club because of your joke.” Kyle is quiet for a long time. Then he takes his phone and deletes the post. He writes: “The photo was fake. I made it. I'm sorry.”
That week, Noah brings his friend Ella to the club. Fifteen members. On Thursday, the four friends go to the council meeting. They show the fake photo, the original from 2019, a photo of the real room and Kyle's message. The council is impressed. “You can stay,” says the woman at the table. Everybody cheers. Then she adds, “But the heating in your building is old. The club needs two hundred pounds by December. If you can't pay, we can't keep the room open.”
Hear them talk
Послухай. Потім обери персонажа: його репліки сховаються, а ти скажеш їх уголос сам(-а).
Was it you, Kyle?
It was a joke. It wasn't serious.
It wasn't funny. They could close the club.
I didn't think it was a big deal.
Well, it was. Delete it.
OK. I'm sorry. Really.

Чи все зрозуміло?
How can four teenagers get £200 by December? Write two ideas.
Напиши одне речення англійською. На уроці почнемо саме з цього.
Цю частину ви проходите разом з викладачем і групою. Відкривай картки лише тоді, коли викладач скаже.

You know different things
Кожен відкриває лише свою картку. Не показуйте картки одне одному: питайте й відповідайте.
Картка A
Card A. You are a council member. You believe the club is a problem. Ask hard questions: Where were you? Was the room clean? Who was responsible?
Картка B
Card B. You are a club member at the meeting. Present the facts: the photo was fake, the room was clean, Kyle said sorry. Stay calm.
Фрази на допомогу: It was a joke. · It wasn't funny. · It's a big deal. · Here are the facts. · We couldn't believe it.
Відкрити, коли скаже викладач
The council member says: “Maybe you made the fake photo to get attention.” Answer politely and give evidence.
Project 4 · The fact-check report
Пари готують 90-секундний звіт для ради про фейкове фото: що сталося (Past Simple), три докази, що фото фейкове, що зробили з автором. Викладач та інша пара грають роль ради й ставлять по одному складному запитанню.
Що перевіряємо
- Історія в правильній послідовності, щонайменше 6 дієслів у Past Simple.
- Три конкретні докази.
- Використано was / were і хоча б одне could / couldn't.
- Відповідь на запитання ради спокійна і з фактами.
30 секунд подумати, 30–60 секунд говорити, потім одне запитання від групи.
