Explanation
Shapes: a triangle, a square, a circle, a rectangle. “Whose sandwich is this?” asks who owns it. Answer: “It’s Madina’s.” (possessive ’s) or “It’s hers / mine / yours.” Instructions use commands: “Cut a circle from a tomato. Put two raisins for the eyes. Cut a triangle nose from a carrot.” To describe the result: “It has circle eyes and a square mouth.” In commands the verb is in its base form: cut, put, take, mix, add. A square has four equal sides; a triangle has three sides.
Worked examples
“A funny sandwich”. Take a slice of bread. Cut two circles from a cucumber and put them on the bread for eyes. Put a raisin on each circle. Cut a triangle nose from a carrot. Cut a mouth from a tomato. Now the sandwich has a face! Whose sandwich is it? It’s mine, and now it’s yours.
— Whose bag is this? — It’s Karim’s. — And whose pencils are these? — They’re Dilya’s.
Class activity
“Picture dictation”: a pupil describes a sandwich face (“It has circle eyes …”) and the partner draws it. Then they compare.

Why do instructions say “Cut” and not “You cut”?
