What will be in your pencil case?
Good afternoon from the US of A, where I have just been to Super Target to buy groceries. Because of the time of year, there is also a large Back to School section in said hypermarket, which, of course, I had to have a look round. There were various local families there with their stationery lists, gathering supplies for the coming school year.
I picked up this school supply shopping list, which, as you can see, is in Spanish. Our students would find this interesting to look at. They could use their bilingual dictionaries to find out what the American children have to have for school. Most of these things are provided for UK students by their schools. There is also an interesting cultural angle. Why is a shopping list in the USA printed in Spanish as well as English?
