Hello, this is just a perfect video, not only because it is practising verb "to be" in an excellent way but also (and I dare say mainly) because it is talking about love and hatred. Thank you very much:-)

Thank you for this lesson. We are in distance education now (because of the covid-19) so I am really glad to be able to provide interesting lessons to my pupils. I create my own lessons but it is not still enough. And days are very short. 8v))))
