Session 3
How are sandals helping orphans? Hear the inspirational story of two British brothers who believe you can make money and do good. We also practise could,be able to and manage to as we read their tale.
Activity 2
Using the language
We're going to look at Rob and Paul Forkan's story again in the next few questions.
You have to choose the best options based on what you know about their story, and what you know about can, could,manage to and be able to. But be careful - the correct answer might not use exactly the same words as the original story!
