Listen to the yoga teacher’s voice and follow her instructions. Then describe what you saw and who you
met in the wood. What did the person say?

Key: 1 at a relaxation class 2 sugar 3 rainy 4 he didn't pass the supermarket 5 go to the supermarket


Close your eyes. Breathe in. Breathe out. Relax. Stop thinking about sugar. Think of all the different things you did... Now imagine you walk out of this room. Look around you. Follow the path. Look up at the trees. Smell the flowers. Listen to the sounds of the birds. Don’t forget to buy some sugar. Remember what the person says and then return through the wood. Open your eyes.
