STRANGER THINGS

"Stranger Things" is an American TV series which has a sort of Steven Spielberg/Stephen king atmosphere, very much like classic 1980s movies such as "Stand By Me", "The Goonies", "E.T." or even "IT". On this occasion, I invite you to have a look at a scene from the first season, where two characters, Mike and Lucas, have an argument about Eleven, a weird girl with strange powers. Then, you can do the activities in the worksheet.

I hope you enjoy the activity and paractise Reported Speech with it.
Click on the picture to watch the scene, and on the link below it for the worksheet.
