Hello everyone!



This worksheet is useful for practicing vocabulary.



The goal of this exercise is to match the pictures and the words on the right.

To make it more effective I recommend following these simple steps:

1.	Give the students this worksheet for homework.

2.	Tell each student to follow this link: http://www.theenglishalley.es/House/utilityroom.html

3.	Using this webpage, students can look for the different words to complete the exercise. The best thing about this page is that simply by putting the cursor over the pictures they will hear the pronunciation and see the spelling of each object. 

4.	The next day you can review this vocabulary together. Because of the homework, students should already have a good understanding of both the vocabulary and pronunciation.

I hope that you and your students find this worksheet useful.



Enjoy!
