Asking questions
Tim is at a restaurant together with his Aunt Lucy. He is telling her about his
last summer holiday trip. Inside the restaurant it is very noisy, so that Aunt Lucy
often doesn't understand parts of his sentences. (These parts are printed in bold
type= fett gedruckt). So she keeps asking him. Write down her questions. You
don't have to put the parts in brackets into your questions.
Example:
Tim:
In my last summer holidays I went to Scotland (with my parents).
Aunt Lucy: Sorry, Tim, when did you go to Scotland?
Tim:
We went there by car.
Aunt Lucy: How_________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
At Loch Ness we built up our tent.
Aunt Lucy: Wh__________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
(For the first three days) the weather was really bad.
Aunt Lucy: _____________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
(Rain came down heavily and) we all got very, very wet.
Aunt Lucy: _____________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
(But) on the fourth day the sun came out again.
Aunt Lucy: _____________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
(So) we (hired [=mieten]a boat and) rowed on the water.
Aunt Lucy: _____________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
I wanted to see Nessie, the Loch Ness monster (, but I didn't have a
chance).
Aunt Lucy: _____________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
One day we went on a cycling tour around the lake.
Aunt Lucy: What________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
My mother wanted to see all the castles. (That was boring.)
Aunt Lucy: _____________________________________________________ ?
Now Tim has finished his report. Aunt Lucy, who loves Scotland very much,
asks him some more questions. Tim can only answer them with yes or no. His
answers tell you what Aunt Lucy has asked him. Example:
Aunt Lucy: How interesting, Tim! Please tell me more.
Did you see the Outer Hebrides (=Name einer Inselgruppe)?
Tim:
Yes, we did. We saw the Outer Hebrides.
Aunt Lucy: And did _______________________________________ Festival?
Tim:
No, we didn't. We didn't go to the Edinburgh Festival.
Aunt Lucy: ____________________________________________________ ?
Tim:
Yes, we _________. We visited the Isle of Skye (=Name einer Insel).
Aunt Lucy: D.........______________________________________________ ?
Yuk, no, of course not, Aunt Lucy!! I didn't drink any Scotch
whisky!
