UNIT 2
III. Grammar Smart
Look and recall!
If you want to say what you will do and under what condition, use the 
First Conditional.
E x a m p l e: If I want to lose weight, I’ll go biking every other day.
The First Conditional consists of two parts (clauses): the main clause and 
the if-clause. 
E x a m p l e: If I |
want to stay active after school, I’ll go biking every |
|||
other day. |
|
|
|
|
(if – clause) |
(main clause) |
|||
Use the Future Simple (will+go) in the main clause and the Present Sim- 
ple in the if – clause (want).
You can make either part of a sentence negative:
If I don’t want to stay active after school, I won’t go biking that often.
a) Team up and play a grammar loop game.

school, use should + do/be/have etc.:
E x a m p l e: There should always be time for a child to have the right to 
choose their own activities.
• If you think something is a bad idea for staying active after school, use 
shouldn’t+ do/be/have etc.:

V. Time to Read
1. Read the information about types of after-school activities and say how they support your development.
What after-school activity should you join this year?
After a long day at school, you owe it to yourself to do something you love. What type of activities will you sign up for this fall – creative art, leisure or physical activities? Read the information from “On After School” to make an informed decision.
Creative Art Activities
BrE autumn 
AmE fall 
Creative art activities are a fabulous way to support self-expression and creativity in children. Kids will experience self-confidence and relationship development while participating in individual projects such as clay models or group projects such as murals, that is, painting on the wall. Children should be given encouragement throughout the activity. The children art can be displayed for parents and participants to see.
Leisure Activities
Leisure activities are free-play opportunities. This time can be used for board games, reading, puzzles and passive games. These activities will support children’s emotional, cognitive and social development. A child will experience a lot of scheduled activities throughout their school day, so there should always be time for a child to have the right to choose their own activities. Leisure activities will allow children to express themselves in healthy and fun ways.
Physical Activities
A physical activity gets children moving and engaged in active games. There are three categories a physical activity falls under: endurance, flexibility and strength. An endurance activity for children can be soccer. Yoga is an example of a flexibility activity that can be done with children. Many options in outdoor play parks offer strength activities, such as climbing and
53

swinging. It is important for all individuals to warm up before physical activities.
