 ,,The Visit” is a sketch written by the Romanian well known playwright  - I. L. Caragiale.

  Ionel Popescu is an eight year old boy,  a very naughty boy, whose behaviour shows the wrong education that he was getting from his family; he does make foolish things for his age, unintentionally. It proves that he’s a child that makes no difference between good and evil, what’s allowed and what’s forbidden.

It can be used in the classrom when we talk about good/bad behavior, habits,  as role plays, drama and improvisation activities.

Teaching Routines (Life Skills)

This worksheet explores the idea that some of the most dangerous animals in the world do not look frightening at all. Students read about surprisingly powerful or risky animals from different countries, including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Australia, and New Zealand. Each reading focuses on one animal and explains why it can be dangerous, using clear and engaging language suitable for intermediate learners.

After each reading, students are presented with a short real-life scenario involving the animal. They must choose what they believe is the safest reaction from several realistic options. The tasks encourage students to think carefully, as the incorrect options sound reasonable and reflect common mistakes people make when encountering wildlife. Correct answers are provided with short explanations so students can understand the reasoning behind each decision.

The worksheet finishes with discussion questions that allow students to express opinions, compare animals and countries, and reflect on human behaviour around wildlife. The activity supports reading comprehension, critical thinking, and speaking practice, and works well as a lead-in to discussions about safety, travel, nature, and decision-making.
