WRITING
1
In pairs, ask the students
to look at the three pictures,
describe what they can see in each one, and try to make
a simple story. Next, ask them to think of some words to
connect
their ideas, e.g.
and
,
but
,
so
,
because
, etc. Then,
encourage them to write their own story using the past
continuous and past simple. Ask them to use at least 35
words in their story. If time allows, in pairs encourage
them to read each other’s stories,
check for mistakes
(spelling, punctuation, past tense, etc.) and give two
ideas for ways their partner can make their story better.
Ask the students to write their final version.
Model answer
Last weekend, I was spending time
with my friends by a lake
and we were having great fun. Suddenly, it started to rain, so
we all ran into a café. In the café, we played a board game,
but it wasn’t as good as the lake.
LISTENING
1
First, ask the students to read
the instructions and ask
‘Who is Tessa talking to?’ (
her father
) ‘What about?’
(
her friends and their problems
) Next, ask them to look
at the example and ask ‘What is Eva’s problem?’ (
She’s
got a temperature
.) If appropriate,
tell them to cross
out Problem G. Point out that for each person they may
hear two of the options (A–H), but only one answers the
question
What problem does each person have?
Play
the complete recording and encourage the students
