Unit 3 - Friends across time questions.

Good afternoon!

I almost forgot to post the questions and answers we did in class today. The question about Edward's age is tricky, but I am sure you can remember how to do it, right?. Also, remember to read the text again because there is another question there that we could talk about.

Did you like the text?. I think it is very interesting. Have you ever wrote a letter?. Have you ever sent a letter?. Do you know where the nearest mailbox is?. I wrote letters before the Internet arrived :), ask your parents if they did too!.
