The T can point out to Ss that the aim of this activity is to
enhance their understanding of the use of pronouns. Being
able to understand how pronouns are used is an important
skill for reading and writing. Since a pronoun usually refers
to something that has already been mentioned, to
understand what a pronoun stands for , we should look at
the earlier part of the sentence or the sentence that comes
before. Ss can first find the sentence with the target
pronoun and try analyzing the elements of the sentence and
master the usage of these pronouns.
Answers:
those(products):cameras, beautiful clothes, watches
those(countries):Japan, France, Switzerland
it:so many products in the local shops were made in China
they: most of the toys
