A letter from CS Lewis

05:24
Look at this photo. Describe that man. Imagine his personality - Does he remind you of somebody close to you? Who? Why? (great for Speaking sessions)

Now read the letter and discuss it in relation to the impressions you had on him in the previous exercise:

My Dear Lucy,
I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not yet realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be...
Your Affectionate Godfather,
C.S. Lewis

Imagine you are Lucy as an adult. Answer your your Godfather's letter(activity turning into a writing exercise-very good session on language production !!)
