Chapter Books With Mermaids

My children have loved the Netflix show Mermaid Magic, to capitalise on this interest I sought out these chapter books featuring mermaids which appeal to the same aged fanbase as the Netflix show. Chapter books featuring mermaids for readers aged 7-10 Mermaid Academy  Julie Skyes and Linda Chapman 6-9 Isla and Bubble is the first book in this on going chapter book series (11 books so far) about mermaids being matched with a dolphin at the mermaid academy.  The Tail Of Emily Windsnap  by Liz Kessler 8 - 10 Emily is a human, she has always been kept out of the water. When she is allowed to try swimming lessons (spoilers) her legs turn into a tail her life changes and she reconnects with her mer-dad. Mummy Fairy and Me Mermaid Magic   Sophie Kinsella 6-8 This series is full of magic and mishaps as Mummy turns into a fairy. Each chapter of this book is a short adventure and there is one about turning into a mermaid to help a stranded baby whale. The 4th book in the serie...

How Much? VS How Many?


✅ How many donuts are in a small box?

✅ How much is a large box of donuts?

Many is used for countable nouns (things that we can count). 

Much is used for uncountable nouns (things that we cannot count). 

Money is an uncountable noun. When we ask "How much is a large box of donuts?" we really mean "How much money is a large box of donuts"

Dollars, yen and pounds are all countable nouns. You could say "How many dollars is a large box of donuts?" while gramatically correct it is not common to phrase the question in this way.

A simplified translation would be (this level is sufficient for the GTEC exam)

how much = いくら

how many = いくつ 何個 何枚 など

I'm from the UK, we use (pounds). In Europe they use (Euros). I usually see $ dollars used in speaking tests and this is the reason that I have used them here. But don't forget to take a moment to double check the currency symbol before giving an answer.

Part of the GTEC speaking exam involves interacting with others. This donut shop menu is the kind of information that students could be provided with and then asked questions about. The GTEC Test Prep Interacting with Others practice lessons bundle includes 15 more flyers with accompanying PowerPoint lesson and printable / digitally distributable pair work activities.
