Unit 11. Science and Technology. Lesson 1. Getting started

Good morning Everybody
WELCOME TO MY CLASS 8A
Now, Let’s conquer the mountain. There are 2 teams: Philippins and Colombia. There are 20 questions, 2 ENERGY DRINK, 2 SNOWSTORM and 1 SNOW MONSTER. If your team has correct answers, you’ll climb up 1km, but if you have wrong answers, you will stand in place. If you encounter the SNOWSTORM, you’ll lose your next turn, it means the remaining team will get one step. If you choose the ENERGY DRINK, you’ll climb up 1km without the answer . If you choose the SNOW MONSTER, the remaining team will climb up 1km, your team stand in place. Which team get the RED FLAG on the top will be the winner. Good luck!!! <3
