Introduction is Richmond’s new four-level general American English course for young adults. With an amazing design, lots of interesting topics and opportunities for will make your personalization in all four levels, English students progress faster and be able to express their own identity in English.

What do Young Adults Most Expect from an English Course? You might want to note down your own answers before you read on. Our research suggests that, above all, learners expect: ➤

to become fluent listeners and speakers as fast as possible;

➤

confidence building, quick results and a strong sense of progress;

➤

contemporary, interesting content, i.e. real life, adult relevance with lots and lots of personalization;

➤

overt teaching of grammar and vocabulary, a systematic approach to pronunciation, plenty of skills practice, and useful study tips;

➤

an appropriate, adult teaching style combined with very strong self-study elements including autonomous learning tools to speed up their learning;

➤

value—both for the time they invest and the money they spend.

You will find all of these in So… Welcome to English

, and much more. !

The Language Friendly Course Over four-levels, takes young adult and adult learners from Beginner (CEFR A1) to Intermediate (CEFR B1) levels through rich contexts, careful selection and presentation of useful new language, informative language tips, insights, step-by-step rules, practice and, above all, massive personalization to help students build their own identity in English—with lots of laughter throughout! Hence the title English . Students are guided to express their own ideas and personalities, and learn to be themselves in the new language.

of drilling in the Students’ Book, to be done in class. Then, at Elementary and Pre-Intermediate levels, such drills become more discretionary, moving into both Workbook and Teachers’ Book. The same goes for the lexis—where the initial simple matching vocabulary to pictures becomes more abstract and contextualized—and grammar, where spoon-feeding is reduced as learners’ confidence and foreign language learning experience grow. provides the tools to allow you, the teacher, to English incorporate your own pedagogical identity into the course, as well as emphasize what you think will be more relevant for your learners.

Flexi-Lessons English has a unique flexi-lesson structure because one lesson is never enough to practice and consolidate all gives students more opportunities than of its content. most books to revisit, consolidate or extend what they first learned in the previous lessons. Rather than using a strict “Present / Practice / Personalize” lesson format, which can be very artificial and restrictive, students are often exposed to grammar in one lesson but only taught or drilled in “formal rules” in the next one. Noticing grammar is sometimes done in the audio script too, not just the lesson itself. Frequently, there is something extra related to the topic of the previous lesson in the next one. Why? Because learning is not linear, it’s circular and repetitive. Constant and consistent recycling is essential for memorization, making learning much more likely. regularly builds bridges between lessons rather than packaging lessons in “artificially tidy” units just to fit a notional design. Besides, every lesson / institution / teacher is different, with its own identity. A lesson structure where there is little or no connection between lessons is unlikely to foster efficient, let alone optimum learning—hence our flexi-lessons. An additional advantage is that students who missed a class can have the lesson explained to them by those who were there, providing an instant, highly authentic information gap activity. Our flexi-lessons also have multiple entry points for you to choose from. You can begin with: ➤

the lesson title question, to see what students can come up with;

➤

the suggested warm-up activity in the Teacher’s Book;

➤

the Song line: hum it, play it, elicit it;

➤

Common Mistakes , to highlight what to avoid right from the start and to maximize opportunities to get things right throughout the class;

➤

World of English , to provide a more interesting overview and / or insights into the lesson;

➤

5 box or the Grammar at the back, which also include some exercises for students to have some extra practice (the key to the Grammar is available on the portal);

➤

the books-closed presentation (either of main lexis or grammar).

Methodology English is in every sense a communicative course, teaching learners to speak as fast as they can and focusing on both fluency and accuracy. See, for example, the large number of speech bubbles and the Common Mistakes (with anticipated errors that should be avoided) presented in each lesson. Learners need to be given opportunities to express their own ideas and opinions in comprehensible English as often as possible. progressively adapts as the series evolves to reflect the best learning practices at each of the learner’s Starter relies on lots advancing levels.

Or, of course, you can go straight into the first exercise. Take a look at the colorful detailed presentation of the on p. 17-24. main features of English

locally means teachers need to maximize fluency practice, getting the students to use the language as much as possible in class.

Key Concepts

In monolingual classes, learners share both the same L1 and most aspects of a culture, which a teacher can exploit. They share similar advantages / difficulties with English too, which should be a unifying “strength” for anticipating problems and errors. Accelerating through what is easier for learners and spending more time on what is difficult “sharpens” classes to maximize the learning potential.

The three friendlies: language friendly, learner friendly and teacher friendly.

Language Friendly English is not just another international series. It’s a “language-friendly series”, which embraces students’ existing language knowledge and background, to help them better understand how English works. For example, word forms and grammatical concepts are all familiar to young adult students, and helps them to see how much and how quickly they can speak by transferring these patterns into English, and also how to avoid all the obvious traps.

Learner Friendly respects learners’ need to be spoken to as adults, so students learn to speak as fast and reasonably as possible. It also: ➤

supports students, helping them avoid obvious errors in form, word order and pronunciation;

➤

uses cognates and familiar language concepts to enrich texts and add depth and authenticity to language exercises;

➤

motivates students, as they discover they can recognize a lot of English, even as beginners, which they already have “inside themselves”;

➤

offers a vast range of activities, resources and recycling to ensure students have enough practice to finally learn to speak English.

helps students to negotiate and build their own “new identity” in English.

Teacher Friendly respects each teacher’s need to teach as they want to. Some wish to teach off the page with little preparation, others dip in and out, while others largely follow the Teacher’s Book. All these options have been built into from the start. The flexi-lesson structure helps teachers to individualize, personalize and vary classes and also focus on what is important for them. It also helps students in monolingual classes to stay in English. Without ever forcing first language (L1) in class, shows what is common / different between students’ L1 and English, and helps them more quickly avoid the Common Mistakes that a learner from their L1 background would typically make. The Teacher’s Book has a teaching-friendly visual code too, providing a straightforward “quick route” or a substantially longer one. Everything that is “essential” is clearly separated from all the “optional” extras, which can be read between lines, as you can see in the example below.

Tip For any listen and read activity, get students to shadow the text, i.e., mouthing and quietly saying the words to themselves to connect with and “feel” the pronunciation.

Advantaging Monolingual Classes Globally, most classes are monolingual, which was how was conceived—to facilitate monolingual classroom learning. The frequent lack of opportunity to speak English

Yet, rather than using these “strengths” to enable more focused, localized pedagogy, they are often treated as weaknesses. Most English courses avoid a lot of common yet tricky words, phrases, notions and structures, simply because they are difficult to explain to students whose language background is not the same. To our mind, that impoverishes a student’s learning diet, reduces opportunities to expand vocabulary quickly and can actually slow down learning. Adults need a radically different approach from children, whose mother tongue is not yet established, and who learn like sponges, absorbing all the English you throw at them. Teens’ and adults’ minds are different: they cannot help but translate—mentally at least—and immediately resort to the mother tongue when they cannot find the words to express their thoughts in English. Rather than running avoids this trap by gently embracing against nature, similar items when appropriate, but without ever forcing active use of L1, leaving that option up to you. Paraphrasing Ur (2011), “teachers should choose procedures that lead to best learning by whichever students they’re teaching” (extracted from Vocabulary Activities, Penny Ur, Cambridge University Press, 2011). We believe ’s formula can really help native speakers of Spanish and Portuguese learn both more comfortably and more efficiently. embraces students’ linguistic strengths. It helps students to use what they know and helps you, the teacher, to foresee these automatic transfers and focus students can easily enjoy appropriately on them. With what is easy and, at the same time, the more complex issues can be made clearer for them.

Tip Especially with lower levels, prioritize, teach and, if possible, display on your classroom walls words / phrases students need to speak and interact in English together from the start. This increases their expectation to actually do so.

The Right Level of Challenge treats adults with respect throughout, with the appropriate degree of challenge. Three examples:

1. A question syllabus Every lesson begins with a question as the title. This provides one of the task-based elements of . Students are set a challenge—in the form of a question—at the start of class, then, they learn to accomplish it by the end. This gives a constant sense of achievement, crucial to building and keeping confidence. There are 60 questions in all, on audio and reviewed in the last exercise of each of the Review lessons. These questions can also form the basis for the oral test at the end of the course. Tell students that if they learn to ask and answer

the 60 questions well—all of which they can see at a glance in the language map on p. 4-7—they will have completed the level successfully. You can also use the question column in this map as the basis of a diagnostic test to determine where to place new students.

2. A balanced approach to grammar offers very rich grammar input, blending traditional and newer approaches, not just the usual elicitation, charts and rules. It combines an innovative blend of: ➤

inductive grammar, with students discovering patterns and completing rules for themselves in and around the lesson-page grammar boxes;

➤

deductive grammar through interesting facts about language in the World of English boxes;

➤

regular reminders of key rules through the 5 box;

➤

a discrete degree of contrastive grammar analysis, by showing what not to say via the Common Mistakes .

Plus, there is a full 20-page deductive grammar section at the back of the Student’s Book, providing a page of grammar accompanied by a corresponding page of exercises for each unit. This can be done in class, when necessary, or assigned as homework. The answer key is on the Portal, so you don’t need to get involved in more marking—unless, of course, you want to. And there is a wide variety of extra grammar practice in the Workbook, online and in the Tests, along with lots of suggestions for oral drills in the Teacher’s Book.

Which Level Should I Start From? Starter has only five units, half the length of the other levels. It is designed to give a good start for complete beginners, those who took English a while ago but either did not learn to speak and listen or have forgotten most of it. Those who need to get used to attending classes in English, comprehending and then responding to basic instructions, getting used to operating in a foreign language and the idea of studying and learning it properly. Level 1 is ideal for false beginners or real beginners with a real need and ability to go quickly. If in doubt, we suggest you begin with Starter. Unlike other books, Level 1 does not go over exactly the same ground again in the first few units.

Course Structure and Components Nowadays, many English courses tend to be a bit too long, or inflexible, meaning teachers have either to rush to get through them—denying students the practice they need to achieve an adequate degree of fluency, or start chopping out sections, leaving students frustrated and sometimes even slightly cheated at not being allowed to use the material they paid for. was designed to be flexible, so you can tailor it to fit provides from 80-100 class hours. your timetable.

Has… ➤

Ten core units, each comprised of five approximately One-hour lessons, = 50 lessons of Grammar, Vocabulary, Speaking and Skills;

➤

ten optional video lessons, Café, to be done at the end of each unit = 60 lessons including the video;

➤

Six one-page Writing lessons, to be done in class and / or at home;

This is how students take steps to build their English identity. They learn to say a little bit more about themselves each time—whether it is to ask and answer personal information, to give or share opinions (which in they do right from the start) or to role-play a situation, dealing with a series of questions or problems, and thus growing in both confidence and knowledge. Successfully “making it personal” is what makes students believe that they can be themselves, who they really are in English.

4. Avoid common mistakes to speak better, more quickly

➤

Workbook: one page of review and extra practice material per lesson;

You will quickly see that almost every lesson includes Common Mistakes . This is a flexible resource to help students and teachers anticipate and more quickly avoid, revise and remember typical learner errors—without reference to or use of L1. It’s a key resource in fostering accuracy of language form. Choice of errors is based on extensive research and our combined teaching experience worldwide, but, while obviously referring to typical L1 transfer problems, they never force you or students to translate. On the contrary, unique to , the point is firmly made without any need for translation.

➤

Phrase Bank: most important phrases per unit / topic;

➤

Portal: it has a Teacher’s Area and a Student’s Area. These can be accessed using the code that comes with the book (see TB Intro p. 15);

➤

Digital Book for Teachers: IWB version of the book. For shorter length courses (of about 40-50 hours), we suggest you use the Split editions of , which incorporate units 1 to 5 and units 6 to 10 of both the Student’s and Teacher’s Books. Use the mid-term review as the basis for an inclass oral test at the end of Split editon 1A, plus the tests from the Test Studio.

3. It has to be personal After providing the extensive oral and aural practice (and that students need, each phase of every lesson in many in the Workbook too), ends with a MAKE IT PERSONAL activity. Imagine language learning without adequate personalization: it would be unpleasant as well as pointless, a bit like trying to learn theoretical Latin!

Motivating Features Classic song lines to “hook” language Throughout , significant use of music is made in exercises, cultural references, images, and most obviously, the authentic song lines situated at the top right of each lesson. (1-4 in the Student’s Book and lesson 5 in the Workbook, because lesson 5 in the SB already has Skills, the other for In Action.) two titles, one for Why music? Besides being possibly the best, most motivating and certainly most popular source of English listening practice globally, most students, even beginners, have picked up a lot of English words through songs, but often they do not realize either that they know them, or the exact meaning of what they are singing. Unique to , the song lines have a direct link to each lesson, whether to illustrate grammar, lexis or the theme, and are designed to provide an authentic hook to help students remember the lesson, the language, or just enjoy the puzzle of trying to remember the song itself. Indeed, a great warm-up for any lesson is to hum the melody or play the music and see if students can remember the words.

Total course hours (80-100)

Tip If students don’t know / like or respond well to the songs from which we have taken the song lines, a great homework activity is to get them to research and suggest “a better song line,” which they both like and which links to the lexis, grammar or theme of any lessons. In the Teacher’s Book step-by-step lesson plan, there’s background detail about the song, artist / band and date of release, plus a tip for getting the most out of each song line. There’s also an instrumental extract of the songs, available in the Teacher’s area of the Portal, for you to use when appropriate.

Tip As students progress and acquire more English, ask them What do you associate the song with? See what they come up with, e.g., a moment, night, dance, movie… The possibilities for personalization and genuine fluency practice are immense. In lesson 5 in the Workbook, students are asked to look back at the five songs in each unit and find the link to the lesson as a way of reviewing the units in a truly fun way. The answer is in the Workbook answer key.

For both pedagogical and copyright reasons, we only reproduced a small key section of the song, but that is the aim: to “hook” part of the lesson in a memorable and motivating way. Obviously with your own classes you can: ➤

get them to research the songs, singers / bands, find the complete lyrics, translations, videos, etc.;

➤

use snatches of the songs as a warm-up, review, listening for pleasure, for fun as an end of the lesson sing-a-long, etc.

Below you will find some forms to explore the Picture Dictionary. The same suggestions can be used when appropriate. ➤

Students cover the list of words. In pairs, they take turns pointing to the photos and asking and answering about all the objects. Then, they can exchange roles.

➤

Students cover the short dialogs in in Action. They look at the photos in in Action and read MAKE IT PERSONAL to act out the five conversations in pairs.

➤

Students cover the phrases. In pairs, they point to photos and ask and answer a question, which depends on the topic of the unit.

We are sure you will enjoy this new resource!

Note We do not suggest you use these songs in full. Many are not actually appropriate for the level when you look at the complete lyrics, but the lines we have chosen are globally famous and should be both easy to identify and easy to be sung by at least some students in most classes.

Welcome to World of English We teachers are used to talking about Language with higherlevel students but much less so at an Elementary level. helps you to do so right from the start. World of English boxes—built into most lessons—talk to students respectfully, as insiders or “language experts,” which of course they all are in their mother tongues. Easily comprehensible, yet adult in tone, these boxes give students interesting tips and facts about English, and how to learn it faster.

Teaches Cyber English Information technology is responsible for a lot of new English words, many of which are now “international.” Cyber English boxes regularly highlight and teach these contemporary words and expressions. Research suggests this is one of the most motivating aspects of language learning for all age groups.

Vocabulary Vocabulary teaching is a particularly strong feature of because of the variety of input and revision options.

1. A built-in Picture Dictionary The most popular way to teach / learn vocabulary is through some kind of “picture + key” approach, whether flashcards, a picture story or any other resource, where students can work out the meaning from the visual, without the need to translate, and then cover and test themselves. In every unit begins with a contextualized, lessonintegrated Picture Dictionary. Core vocabulary is presented through various combinations of this basic four-step approach: 1. Match words / phrases to pictures. 2. Guess their pronunciation (from the stress / students’ own linguistic experience and growing knowledge of English). 3. Listen to the words in context and check / repeat as necessary, immediately and / or whenever you want to. Students have the words individually on the Portal audio and so they can listen to them in and out of context, whenever they wish to.

2. A cognate-friendly approach ’s lexical syllabus is based largely on frequency. This was done due to our comparative research into a variety is not exclusively based of corpus studies. However, on frequency. We have not limited our choice to what is common in native speaker speech as we are not trying to convert learners into native speakers, but rather help them express themselves, their ideas and identities as fast as they can using all their existing linguistic resources. Thousands of words with cognate relationships are common to English and most Latin languages. Over 1,500 of these are very common. There are also thousands of recognizable cognate-rooted words. By systematically building them into , we feel we have created a unique opportunity for students to progress more quickly and more comfortably with English. Put simply, they can both understand and produce more language—and more interesting adult language—faster. Throughout their learning process, students make crosslinguistic connections, so we have chosen to nurture this strategy, systematically, throughout . It enhances, both their language awareness and their English lexical knowledge, and makes learning more efficient. prides itself on helping students to expand their vocabulary quickly. Lexical presentations often separate what is “known / easy”—whether from “international” English, words already seen in the course, or near cognates—from “what is new / unfamiliar,” to help students focus better. Familiar words mainly require attention for pronunciation and spelling whereas the unfamiliar require a lot more effort to learn meaning too. This provides a valuable additional “hook” into the student’s memory. Significant stress or word formation patterns are regularly highlighted to enable “learning leaps.” For example, once students learn: ➤

noun suffixes: -tion, -al, -ity, -ism, -or, -ence, -y or -ist;

➤

adjective suffixes: -ic, -al, -ent, -ar, -ive, -able, -ous or -id;

➤

groups of verbs: like / celebrate / donate / operate / desist / insult / visit / comment / consult / export;

➤

adverb suffix: -ly

4. Cover and test yourself / a partner, either immediately or any time later for review.

and their associated stress patterns, their English can literally leap forward by hundreds of words.

All review lessons begin by sending students back to the Picture Dictionary elements in each unit to review and remember words. Virtually none of the images in are purely illustrative. Almost all of them are contextualized and reworked to present, review and test vocabulary in our unique “Picture Dictionary System.”

consciously works on developing the confidence the students need to begin to guess how words might be pronounced or spelled in English. Guessing—being willing to take a shot, bringing in words that you already know which might work well in English—is a key learning strategy, often ignored elsewhere.

4/10/13 9:58 AM

Embracing cognates also allows much more interesting, more adult speaking and listening tasks too, e.g., asking Any coincidences / similarities / pronunciation surprises? What do you have in common? Who is more assertive?, etc. The authors all feel that a key lesson they have learned from their many years of teaching is “to let students use their brains,” and not be restricted by only seeing oversimplified language.

Tip We do not suggest you drill all these words nor try to make them all into active vocabulary. In most cases, cognates are there just as passive vocabulary, actually helping students understand more. We see no point in hiding words from students when they can cope with them, and indeed usually enjoy doing so. The words which become active differ greatly from group to group and will always be your choice, not ours. We are simply trying to give students access to more adult language more quickly. also uses some contrastive analysis to facilitate vocabulary learning, where it is obviously appropriate. For 1: students example, the months exercise on p. 30 in think about the mother tongue equivalents (without having to say anything in L1) to determine what is similar / harder, and where to focus most of their effort.

Skills Speaking teaches spoken English and prioritizes oral fluency. Why? Because that’s what monolingual classes in nonAnglophone countries need / want most. In order to learn both fast and well, students should be given every opportunity to try to express their ideas and opinions in comprehensible English. However, the on-page skills headings focus only on Listening, Reading and Pronunciation. Why? Since every lesson is full of controlled oral practice and personalized speaking opportunities even within Grammar, Vocabulary and other skills sections, had we put headings for Speaking too, we would have ended up with double headings all over the book! So, we have opted to use speech bubbles on every page to indicate where there is a speaking task.

Listening Statistics show Listening is approximately 45% of any language (Speaking is 30%, Reading 16% and Writing 9%). In other words, we spend almost half of our time in any language listening. It’s the primary skill too—just think how babies learn—and the one that needs the most practice. has a huge amount of recorded material, over 200 tracks only in the Student’s Book plus over a 100 more tracks in the Workbook, which are available on the Portal. The audio is a mix of both authentic (for example, many videos taken from YouTube), and scripted. All of it is available for learners on the Portal, so, in class, you can pick and choose what to use, and how many times students need to listen, knowing that they can listen to all of it as much as they like at home. There is at least one listening activity in every Workbook lesson too, as we strongly believe in setting aural homework.

Reading really provides students with substantial reading practice in terms of:

➤

amount: there is a lot to read in every lesson, from the authentic song lines and World of English boxes to the audio script at the back;

➤

complexity of text: through selective use of cognates to Starter enrich texts. Compare for example the texts in with those in traditional course books. We have used a very rich range of words, because knowing our target student’s language allows us to select a syllabus of words that are already familiar to them.

Most texts are from authentic sources, mainly the internet, magazines and newspapers. Some “untouched,” others adapted to provide the best input for classroom language learning.

Writing Research suggests the following formula is what most teachers and students favor: writing is imposed where necessary but is not overly forced in class because class time is precious. Rather, it is drip-fed throughout , as and when it is either essential or you choose it to be the best pedagogical option. There are plenty of optional extra supplementary writing exercises suggested lesson by lesson in the Teacher’s Book. The required writing syllabus is primarily covered by the six writing lessons, at the back of the Student’s Book, covering six different genres. Here students are given a clear written model, a variety of tasks to analyze it, specific writing tips and a structured model to draft and check it, and then send on to a colleague before finally submitting it to you. The intention is to protect you, the busy teacher, from having to dedicate time to excessive marking of avoidable mistakes, as well as helping students to be more in control of their own writing.

Skills and

In Action

As you will immediately see, the fifth and final lesson in each unit is different from the others. It has a different background, is split in half and has two titles. The first part, Skills, gives half a lesson on specific reading or listening skills practice around an adapted authentic text. At lower levels, we prioritize a variety of reading skills, because it is generally hard to get students to read much, and also because our listening focus is so strong throughout the book. See language map on p. 4-7 for list of sub-skills. The second half of this final lesson in each unit, In Action, provides contextualized functional practice, usually dialog lead and ending with some kind of personalized role-play, survey, or problem-solving situation. Communicative functions are everywhere in , but we felt it necessary to have a specific functional outcome in an authentic context to close each unit because teachers and students put such value on learning to survive and operating in familiar situations, with increasingly natural conversation strategies. See language map on p. 4-7 for list of functions.

Pronunciation At last – a learning-friendly audio script audio script section is not just a script to be read and / or listened to with no clear focus. It’s designed to provide real training with listening and pronunciation: after all, pronunciation is learned primarily through the ear. It aims to help students learn to listen better as the course progresses by focusing on features of pronunciation: ➤

noticing sounds, stress, aspects of connected speech, intonation and spelling relationships;

13

English ID TCH 21x29.3 Int.indd 13

4/10/13 9:58 AM

➤

spoken language (e.g., noticing discourse signals such as fillers, pauses, repetition, self-correction and interruptions);

➤

sub-skills of listening, like inferring, predicting, identifying main points in discourse, understanding attitudinal meaning and all aspects of listening.

Again, it is flexible and both teacher and learner friendly. All the tasks are “noticing” tasks, with different aspects to focus on in each text. The tasks are always “highlighted,” making them all free-standing, to avoid the need for teacher intervention, unless, of course, you wish to spend time here. So, you can choose to do them in class, or students can do them on their own. It is a good idea for students to listen, read and notice the audio script tasks as extra preparation before a role-play. Rather than just listening (and reading) again and again, trying to memorize dialogs before role-playing them, these tasks give a clear focus for additional listening and pronunciation practice pre-role-play. The Audio Script section brings relevant noticing tasks designed both to make students think and motivate them more towards pronunciation.

Tip An excellent homework activity is to ask students to do the noticing tasks and then field any questions in the next lesson. Word stress is shown in pink only the first time a word appears in either a word list or reading text, but not in rubrics, nor when it appears again either in the same text, or later in the book. To include it each time would give no sense of syllabus or progress to students. The whole ethos is to make students use their brains, not spoon-feed of them! We want them to think “I’ve seen this already and I need to remember how to pronounce it.”

phonetics. Remember, learning to guess pronunciation of new words is a key skill. The table also provides model words to illustrate the usual spelling patterns for each sound. Sensitizing students to sound-spelling combinations is a key part of learning, to read, write and pronounce with confidence. just provides example words, but as the course Initially, progresses, these rules are made explicit to students. In Starter and 1, we model the usual spellings for each sound in order to begin to familiarize students with predictable spelling / pronunciation relationships. In levels 2 and 3, we also provide the exceptions, so this slowly builds into a complete Sounds / Spelling reference. All of this aims to sensitize students to the patterns of English and develop “a sense for English.” However, we have left this page largely optional, only sending students there from the Review lessons to learn the model words for each sound. You, the teacher, should do what you think works best with your students. So, while you have the option of teaching the sounds and even the does not force this, as this symbols from this chart, should depend on individual teacher preference. The vowels chart on p. 154 of the SB is based on UNDERHILL, Adrian. Sound Foundations: Learning and Teaching Pronunciation. Oxford: Macmillan Publishers Limited, 1994. This format helps students understand how the sounds are produced in the mouth considering the opening of the jaw and the spreading of the lips. lips spread

lips rounded closed jaw

Real help with all aspects of Pronunciation Pronunciation should be taught rigorously because of its basic role in communication. It allows us to understand and convey meaning, and good pronunciation helps you both to comprehend and communicate better. However, this is an area where teachers often struggle, and course books have often failed to deal with either systematically or in a “friendly” way. Pronunciation is at the heart of . New words are always introduced in context, so students at least hear, for example, nouns preceded by indefinite articles (a book, an apple), as they usually would outside a classroom, and are trained to pick them out in connected speech, rather than unnaturally, one at a time. At the same time, all the basic “listen and repeat” drills for new words, which so many learners love and need, are available in the WB for students to drill themselves outside class. ➤

Phonemic symbols are occasionally used in lexical presentations to highlight irregular sound and spelling patterns, when experience shows learners will probably get it wrong otherwise.

➤

A significant break-through is the Sounds and Usual Spellings table on p. 154-155. This gives: two illustrated model words for each of the 40 sounds in U.S. English, and access to the phonetic symbol.

Knowing all the potential sounds in a language sets a ceiling on their guesses and builds confidence. If students can learn those two words per sound, they should be able to have a reasonable guess at the pronunciation of words in a dictionary and begin to get comfortable with using

open jaw

The organization of the consonants chart on p. 155 of the SB is based on the articulation points used for producing those sounds according to author / teacher Robin Walker. ➤

Both the vowels and consonants tables are laid out as a “map of the mouth,” according to where in the mouth the sounds are produced.

➤

A unique feature is the highlighting of sounds that are difficult for Spanish and Portuguese speakers. This builds up confidence, as they immediately see what is easy for them, but also motivates students to focus and facilitates their efforts to learn what is hard for them. Learning sounds which do not exist in their L1 largely involves breaking the habits of a lifetime, finding new articulation points and different combinations of muscle movement, voicing and breathing.

Note For students with other mother tongues, we suggest you spend some time on the chart, marking it up for them in the same way. A good resource for this is Swan, M. Learner English, OUP, 2001 or more recently, Hancock, M. English Pronunciation in Use – Elementary CUP, 2003.

Standard American English is the chosen model for all listen and repeat-type activities, but students are exposed to a whole range of accents and types of English, both native and non-native. We are all aware of the need is full of global to teach “International English,” and accents for precisely this reason. All new polysyllabic words are introduced in context, with the stress highlighted for students in pink. We have chosen the oral syllable according to the Merriam Webster online dictionary. In cases where the oral stress is not shown there, we marked the real syllable, again according to Merriam Webster. Regularly marking stress on new words (in the book and on the board) means you progress from just teaching form and spelling, onto really prioritizing teaching, modeling and recording spoken language. focuses right from the start on all aspects of connected speech, and there are exercises throughout, in all components, on sentence stress, reductions and intonation, particularly in the audio scripts, as mentioned above.

Learner Autonomy Learner autonomy, sometimes also called learner independence, is the ability of a learner to take charge of his own learning. Autonomous learners have an active role in their learning processes, which means they make the most out of every learning opportunity, both in and out of class.

There is never enough time for students to learn a language in class, even if all students were to come and be fully attentive to every minute of every class. Nor is there ever time for them to cover every exercise fully. That means any good course has to be largely transparent to students both in and out of class, and give them really effective and efficient tools for autonomous study out of class. Learners need to be able both to self-monitor and self-evaluate, or motivation becomes hard to maintain, and success less likely.

formal extra practice. Through the Student’s Area, students can keep up with Breaking News and access ready-made activities to practice comprehension of current world news.

Workbook A single page to correspond to each two-page Student’s Book lesson, designed to consolidate and reinforce all the main language. Exercises can be used in class, e.g., for fast finishers or extra practice of specific areas. It includes: ➤

a variety of exercises, texts and puzzles to scaffold, continue practicing and extend the main Grammar and Vocabulary of each lesson;

➤

skills practice: at least one listening activity per lesson to continue practicing the most important skill outside class too, plus plenty of short, juicy reading texts;

➤

a drill per unit at lower levels;

➤

cyber tools references that encourage students to engage with English beyond the workbook itself;

➤

an additional song line for every 5th lesson;

➤

a final check back activity to revisit the song lines from each lesson in the SB unit and look for a link with the language / topic of the lesson itself as an additional fun way to review the unit, and facilitate memorization. The answer key for these and all the other exercises is at the back of the WB so you can use it entirely for autonomous study if you wish.

a video player is not available. If this is your case, we suggest you try to bring in some visual stills to support the listening, e.g., in the form of a PowerPoint presentation, flashcards, etc.

Tip One of these original videos, the Tiny House in unit 6, has quite a lot of difficult lexis in it, so we have re-recorded a simpler version for you on the Portal, if you wish to simplify it for your classes.

Café The video is a fun potpourri of popular American sitcoms used to present, review, consolidate and extend the main language content and contexts of each unit. There are ten independent episodes which were specially produced for English . The episodes focus on the contexts of the unit and target the key elements to give students further practice in real situations. We suggest you watch and do these lessons at the end of each unit, or whenever appropriate after that. Remember, students can watch them on the Portal, so you can assign them all for homework if you are really pressed for time. Besides the core unit videos, there are also extra units for each level: one for Starter and two for each of the other levels.

Teacher’s Book

Gives Students Their Own Phrase Bank After dictionaries, phrasebooks are probably the world’s most popular language learning tool. In a four-page section at the back of the WB, provides a unique unitby-unit Phrase Bank of all the key phrases, expressions and exchanges students are expected to learn. To provide context and reduce the need for translation, language is grouped by theme. Students are referred here after each unit to listen and review. But of course, they can come at any time—before, during or after any lesson, to look for phrases they wish to use. It is a great resource to download and listen to when working out or in a car, for example, or to mentally translate until they feel they have acquired them.

Tip We have not forced learners to translate as that is your / their choice, not ours. Perhaps you can suggest they write any translations in pencil next to phrases they find difficult to remember. Then, another day, they should cover the phrase in English, look at the translations and try to remember the phrase. Once they can do it, they should erase the translation to feel a sense of progress. This encourages them to see translation as a temporary rather than a permanent tool.

Videos has an original blend of authentic and / or scripted video in every unit. We have always included the instruction Listen / Watch for any situations where

1 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 1 are verb be in the Present Simple (positive / negative and interrogative forms in Yes / No and Wh questions), countries & nationalities, opinion adjectives, the alphabet, numbers, possessive adjectives, colors and nouns (singular and plural forms).

Are you American? Lesson 1.1

Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use verb be through the context of introducing themselves and asking and answering questions about nationalities. Function Introducing yourself. Asking & answering questions about countries & nationalities.

Language . Hi, I’m I’m (Peruvian), from (Lima). Are you / Is he / she / it (Mexican)? Yes, I am / he / she / it is. No, I’m not / he / she / it isn’t. Vocabulary: Countries & nationalities (Argentina, Argentinian; the USA, American; the UK, British, etc.), numbers 1-8, I, you, he, she, it, my, hello, hi, yes, no. Grammar: Verb be I, you, he, she, it , and Yes / No questions (we and they are introduced in the grammar at the back of the book, as sts won’t need to use those in this lesson). Before the lesson: Prepare photos of Rihanna, a recording of Rihanna’s song “What’s my name?”, and photos of Michael Jackson as well as the song “You are not alone,” flags, photos of Beyoncé / famous people / places for the second guessing game. Bring flags of the eight countries in exercise B, in case you cannot use the Digital Book for Teachers.

Warm-up Books closed presentation (if sts don’t have their books on the first day of class). Before class, write on the board Ooh, what’s my name? What’s my name? What’s my name? or any other simple song, e.g. Michael Jackson’s “You are not alone, I am here with you. Though we’re far apart, you’re always in my heart. You are not alone,” from the top of p. 7, which can be referred to at any time

to help support the verb be forms. Books closed. Start lesson by greeting sts. Say Hello / Hi, I’m

. and see what they can say back to you.

Show a photo of Rihanna / Michael Jackson and ask What’s her / his name? Is she / he American? (No, she’s Barbadian. / Yes, he is.) Do you like this song? along with a thumbs up gesture to see what sts manage to say in order to identify their initial levels. . I’m Introduce yourself to class: Hi! My name’s . (nationality), from (city / town). Drill Hi, my name’s for pronunciation and do a quick substitution drill: I’m (Brazilian / American / Mexican), from (São Paulo / New York / Mexico City). Elicit the model and write it on the board, but don’t let sts copy at this stage.

1 Vocabulary: Countries and Nationalities A

Books open. Show your book to the class and point to the short text in 1A. Start to read it: Hi! My name’s… (pause and ask) Marty? Judy? Say: I don’t know! Listen. Play 1.1 and pause after “Marty.” Elicit the correct answer and demonstrate a circle (on the board or gesture on book). Sts circle “Marty.” Play the rest of the recording and ask sts to circle the correct answers. Paircheck (use L1 to explain paircheck if necessary or use a cognate, “compare”). Classcheck.

Tip Optional follow-up activity: In pairs, sts role-play Marty and Judy introducing themselves to each other. 1.1 T Hi! My name’s Marty and I’m American. I’m from New York. Nice to meet you. S Hi! Nice to meet you too! Marty / American / New York

Get sts to introduce themselves to each other in pairs. Give them only 20 seconds.

B

After pairwork, ask sts to stand up, mingle and introduce themselves to as many people as possible. Make it clear that by the end of the activity they need to remember at least three names.

Weaker classes Show your fingers one by one and elicit them orally, then in writing.

Tip If you have one of these songs available, play it as background music while sts perform this mingling activity and ask them to raise their hands when they hear the lesson Song line (“You’re not alone,” in case you choose to play Michael Jackson’s song, or “What’s my name?”, in case you choose to play Rihanna’s song).

Quickly introduce or review numbers 1-8.

Stronger classes Use Bill Haley’s “Rock around the clock” first lines: “One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock rock, five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock rock!” to review numbers one to three, then elicit the next five numbers Show two or three flags, e.g. small paper flags, or use the ones from the Digital Book for Teachers on the IWB if you

1.1 have one in class. Tell / Elicit the countries. Ask: What country is it? Pre-teach country, e.g. New York is a city. The United States is a country. Give more examples if necessary. Drill pronunciation of country. Point to number 4 and elicit The USA. Tell sts to match the other flags to the correct countries. Sts quickly paircheck silently. Sts listen to 1.2 to check their answers. Play the track again. Sts listen and repeat. Draw sts’ attention to pink syllables and tell / show them they are stressed. Tell sts to cover the names of the countries with their hand and test each other in pairs for a minute saying: “What’s number 4? It’s .” Write a model on the board if necessary.

Yes! That’s four points! 5 is the UK. Correct! And country 6 is Peru.

A Right! Six points! And number 7? B It’s Canada and 8 is Argentina! A Yes and yes! That’s eight points for you! Very good!

C

Exercises C and D are also about nationalities and questions / short answers with verb be. Then, after the Grammar on p. 7, sts play a similar game themselves. If you haven’t already done so, focus on the lesson title Are you American?, and elicit the answer: Yes, I am. / No, I’m not. Note Yes, we are / No, we aren’t is introduced in the Grammar at the back of the book on p. 118. Sts match the nationalities to the countries, 1-8. Using the pink word stress, get them to guess the pronunciation in pairs. Do the first one with them as an example.

Play 1.3. Use the audio to confirm. It is only the questions extracted from a game, which they will hear in full in D, so try to focus only on the nationalities—verb be is dealt with in D.

Tip If you prefer to introduce the nationalities (or any other lexical set in ) out of context, then all the active words are available on the Word List (p. 70 Workbook) and you can model and drill them yourself. After the listening, elicit the correct pronunciation of each country individually. Get the “best ones” to model and “teach” those who may have difficulty. Drill the countries and nationalities (Canada-Canadian, the UK-British, etc.), highlighting those where either the

stress or word changes. You can drill both, for sts to repeat, or the country for them to say the nationality, or viceversa, and have them test each other in pairs, covering the words and pointing at the flags: A says the country and B says the nationality.

1.3 1 Are you Peruvian? 2 Are you Argentinian? 3 Is your camera Chinese? 4 Is it Japanese? 5 Is Justin Bieber American? 6 Is he Canadian? 7 Is Penelope Cruz Spanish? 8 Is Madonna British? 6

Sts now listen to the complete game and check 9or cross 8 the nationalities according to the answers they hear. Play 1.4. Set it up by exemplifying on the board, focusing on the line to check or cross. Elicit and cross the first one, Peruvian, for them, but don’t yet drill the verb be. Paircheck after the first listening. Then check answers (checks and crosses only).

Peruvian 8 Argentinian 9 Chinese 8 Japanese 9 American 8 Canadian 9 Spanish 9 British 8

Tip Generally, after each listening, have sts paircheck to build confidence and group dynamics. Ask / Mime: Can you remember the eight questions and answers? Focus on the speech bubbles underneath “Are you Peruvian? / No, I’m not.” as the first example. Elicit what they can remember of 2-8, then play the audio again for them to check and try to write down the complete questions and answers.

Tip If you prefer to head off mistakes by anticipating them, read Common Mistakes and elicit the use of CAPITAL LETTERS for “I” and nationalities. Song line: You are not alone, I am here with you. Song: “You’re not alone” Artist: Michael Jackson (USA) Year: 1995

Explore the Song line “You are not alone, I am here with you.” to help support verb be forms at any time in the lesson. Don’t tell them who sang it (Michael Jackson): see if they can sing it to you first. Exploit it as much as you can: Do you like it / him / his other music?, etc. (see Common Mistakes and Song lines p. 8-16 in TB intro). Monitor as they listen to see how much they can write. Paircheck then listen again to confirm. Check answers, e.g. by writing them quickly on the board for sts to compare their version with yours and ask any questions.

1.5 for sts to listen and read

World of English . Drill the nationalities from the box with the correct stress. Elicit / Show the meaning of before.

Tip For any listening and reading activity, get sts to shadow the text, mouthing and quietly saying the words to “feel” the pronunciation.

Elicit questions and short answers for the third and fourth photos. Ask: What’s this? (sts are likely to say landmark name in L1, then briefly give / teach them the name in English). Ask: Is it Peruvian / American? Prompt sts’ yes / no answers with short ones: Yes, it is. / No, it isn’t. Drill both questions and answers, then elicit Qs / As for different landmarks. Leave photos aside and say: I’m (nationality). Ask a student: Are you (nationality)? When he / she answers yes, prompt him / her with: Yes, I am. Have the student repeat it, then have the whole class repeat it. Ask another student: Are you (wrong nationality)? Prompt no with: No, I’m not. Drill as necessary.

Books open. Sts complete the Grammar table. Monitor closely. Remind them of Common Mistakes if necessary. Real beginners will need help with the spelling of verb be forms. Help them when necessary. Paircheck. Classcheck. Write the answers on the board. Drill pronunciation at a brisk pace, set various tones when drilling sentences (doubt, surprise, happiness, sadness, etc.) and have sts copy them from you.

Encourage sts to “play” with suffixes -an, -ian and -ean and have them say the nationalities of three countries which are near your own country (e.g. in the case of Mexico it would be American, Guatemalan, Honduran, Belizean). Correct on spot, write the correct guesses on the board and drill pronunciation. For Brazil, it would be Paraguayan, Uruguayan, Argentinian, Bolivian, Chilean, Peruvian, Colombian, Venezuelan, Ecuadorian.

Grammar p. 119, part 1, could be set as homework or done in class if sts need guided practice before going to oral practice in 2B. As this is the first lesson, we suggest you take sts there to help them know the different sections of English .

Tip Nationalities ending in -an, -ian or -ean have the stressed syllable before these suffixes (Puerto Rican, Costa Rican), with the exception of four ending in -ican: American, Mexican, Dominican, and African. Highlight this for sts only if they notice. If you’re teaching e.g. in Mexico, tell your sts they are an exception. All 36 nationalities of the Americas follow this pattern except Guyanese, so it’s very motivating for learners to be able to produce all these words in lesson 1.1. For a complete reference, see e.g. http://geography.about.com/library/weekly/ aa030900a.htm. If you are using the course in Italy, where the other nationalities include, e.g. French and Swiss, you will need to give sts more help, or even save this exercise until a bit later. The main aim is to build confidence, make deductions and associations. By doing this, sts can already identify / “know” how much English they have inside them.

2 Grammar: Verb Be A

and Yes / No Questions

Books closed.

Weaker classes With real beginnners you might need to draw figures of a man, woman and any object to teach he, she, it. Write To be or not to be, that is the question on the board. Show six photos, four of famous people (from different nationalities) and two of famous places / landmarks (from different countries), e.g. Statue of Liberty and Christ the Redeemer. You could display previously googled images on the IWB or use the ones from the Digital Book for Teachers, show flashcards or simply write their names on the board. Ask: What’s her name? (sts: “Megan Fox”.) T: Is she American? (sts: “Yes”.) Complete sts’ answer and chorally drill the short answer: Yes, she is. Ask: Is she British? Teach: No, she isn’t. Signal / Gesture to convey yes / no meanings. Repeat procedures with other photos to expose sts to he / she / it interrogative forms and short answers. Drill chorally and individually.

Yes, I am. / No, I’m not. Is he Mexican? Is she Colombian? Yes, she is. / No, she isn’t. Is it Portuguese? Yes, it is. / No, it isn’t. Sts listen and follow the example exchange from the game, then do the same. Concept check (How many sts? – Two; Who asks the question? – St A; Who answers? – St B, etc.). Use open pairs to set this up, then closed pairs to practice. Use all the pictures on p. 6 and 7, but try to avoid telling sts all the names at this stage to leave some doubt, so they try to express a bit more. The answers will be confirmed in 2C.

Tip Bring in extra pictures of famous people and places to extend this if you think it is necessary.

C To give sts a more extended listening and the answer key to the game, sts listen to check if all their guesses are correct. Have them listen once and then ask: Are all your guesses correct? For fun, elicit the pronunciation of all of them too. Turn to p. 156 and do the AS (Audio Script) task. Sts listen again and notice how This_is and It’s_in sound like one word.

1.7 Notice it’s_in connects like one word. Number 1 is Machu Picchu, it’s in Peru. And number 2 is the Taj Mahal, it’s in India. Photo 3 is Shanghai, it’s in China. And picture 4 is the Alhambra, Granada. It’s in Spain. Number 5 is Megan Fox, she’s American. And photo number 6 is Lionel Messi. He’s Argentinian. Number 7 is Salma Hayek. She’s Mexican. And 8 is Keanu Reeves. He’s Canadian.

Extra writing Get sts to write Yes / No questions on strips of paper for other sts to read and write answers to them. All sts should write one or two and stick them on the wall, for the class to mingle in pairs and answer verbally, or in writing.

Are you an excellent actor?

Lesson 1.2

Lesson Aims: Sts continue to practice verb be by asking for / giving opinions about people and places. Sts learn numbers 11-100 through the context of saying prices and playing bingo. Function Giving and asking for opinions about people and places.

Saying the alphabet. Saying prices in dollars / cents / euros. Listening to numbers in different contexts (age, time, distance, addresses, prices).

Language I think she’s a great actress. Brazil is an interesting country. She’s a cool girl. A-H-J-K, plane, a train. 20 cents. 13 dollars. I think it’s 15 miles to Los Angeles. My address is 70, Blue Avenue.

Playing Bingo. Vocabulary: Positive and negative adjectives of opinion (great, horrible, interesting, cool, terrible, etc.). Numbers 11-100. Grammar: Word order: adjectives before nouns. Indefinite articles a / an.

Warm-up Hand out to each student a card with the name of

Weaker classes For real beginners, leave prompts on the board: Hi. I’m (Madonna). I’m (American). What about you?

Books closed. Play 1.9 sentence 1 (“He’s a great player”). Ask sts if the speaker’s opinion is positive or negative. Repeat procedure with 2-6. Pause after each sentence (1-3 positive, 4 neutral / in the middle, 5 negative, 6 positive).

Books open. Point to the sentences in 1B. Sts listen and complete with a or an. Do not explain the grammar rule— elicit it and complete the 5 box.

3 Vocabulary: Adjectives A Books open. Play 1.8 and pause after sentence 1. Ask: Is it positive or negative? Tip Even if sts don’t know cool, they should pick up the positive intonation. Elicit the adjective and show how cool goes in the positive group, OK in the middle group as it can be positive and negative, and horrible in the negative one. Sts listen to 2-7 to identify and repeat the adjective they hear each time. Drill pronunciation as necessary. Replay it and tell sts to write the adjectives under Paircheck.

is a / an

excellent fantastic horrible

actress. city. restaurant.

Add more examples to the second column (Rome, Neymar, Antonio Banderas, etc.) and elicit opinions from sts. Say: What’s your opinion of (Neymar)? Add their opinions onto the board and do not erase them. Be careful with he / she / it.

4/10/13 9:58 AM

1.2 Do a quick substitution drill:

Sts I think Neymar is a great player. Do the same for: Rome is an OK / interesting / excellent city. Bill Gates is a cool / rich / smart person. I think Brazil is a cool / great country. Encourage them to say No! and give an alternative opinion when they disagree.

Write some acronyms (CNN, BBC, HBO, NBA, FBI, etc.) on the board and elicit pronunciation. Elicit a few more acronyms from sts (U2, MTV, ESPN, etc.), write them on the board too and drill pronunciation. If sts struggle with this, go straight into B. Focus on the letters in each column of the chart. Sts listen to 1.11 and repeat the letters and words (pause to make space for repetition).

Books open. Read Common Mistakes . Say: In English, we don’t

1.11

say “He’s a person interesting.” Optional: Compare to word order in L1. Elicit the correct sentence. Focus on the speech bubbles and have sts role-play / read the opinions in 3C. Sts work in trios and give opinions about five people and places from p. 6-7. Refer to the model on the board. Monitor closely for mistakes with a / an and adjective-noun order. Some sts tend to omit verb be when giving opinions. Prompt the correct form.

4 Pronunciation: The Alphabet A

Go over each pair of words and quickly demonstrate meaning, e.g. point to a shoe, your nose, a pen in the classroom. If possible, bring pictures or quickly draw, e.g., a bottle of wine, a rose. Drill pronunciation, making sure sts notice the similarity of vowel sounds in each pair, even though the spelling is very different.

Point to picture 1 in 4B and ask: What’s this? Elicit “a train” and “a plane.” Show sts number 1 has been done for them. Do the same for sound 2, /L/ , and let sts match the rest of the pairs in A to the sounds in B on their own. Paircheck. Sts listen to 1.10 to check their answers and repeat the seven vowel sounds.

1.10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

correct word stress of each: thirteen / thirty, fourteen / forty. Do the same for “15 / 50” and “16 / 60.”

Tip Make it clear for sts that there is contrastive stress (ty vs. teen) when we pronounce them individually. In connected speech we don’t stress thirteen dollars. In many cases the context helps us figure out what number was said. 1.16 A A hundred dollars, please. B OK, that’s thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, a hundred. One hundred dollars. Thank you, sir. Have a great day.

C

Play 1.17 sentence 1 and pause. Ask: What’s the number? (85). Do the same for sentence 2, pause and elicit the correct number (70). Say: Now listen to sentences 3-8 and circle the correct number. If time allows, listen again to check. Get sts to try to remember the whole thing and elicit the meaning of each sentence. A stronger class can even try to make similar sentences about themselves.

1.17 Notice the stress in the numbers.

MAKE IT PERSONAL Sts work with a different partner. Elicit questions sts will need to ask for “first name,” “last name,” etc. Sitting back to back, they ask questions in pairs to fill out the school form. Remind sts to ask “Could you repeat, please?”, “Sorry?” and “How do you spell that?” for clarification. Encourage sts to pretend to be using cell phones while performing the task.

8 Vocabulary: Personal Objects – Singular and Plural

A

Books closed. Use objects available in class or in your bag (student’s glasses, earrings, wallet, keys) as realia to present some of the words in 8A. Show sts one object at a time and ask: How do you say this in English? Provide answers for what they don’t know. Ask for chorus and individual repetition. Encourage sts to ask you “How do you say this in English?” Drill pronunciation of the questions and all the objects you can present / find in the classroom. Books open. Point to photo in 8A and ask: What’s letter i? (Earrings.) Sts match photos with correct vocabulary items. Paircheck. Classcheck. Put plurals sts have already seen from the first two lessons on the board in three columns and review how to form plurals in English.

+s numbers flags answers adjectives opinions pairs letters

Books closed. Quickly gather objects you used as realia

in 8A. Place them in different places in the classroom. Hold up one, e.g., a bag, and ask What’s this? Prompt: It’s a… bag. Repeat procedure with another singular object. Place one of them on a student’s desk (don’t hold it). Ask: What’s that? It’s a… Do the same / Change between this / that perspectives for some more singular objects and elicit the questions from sts. Alternate objects to this and that position. Drill form and pronunciation. Teach here and there, but do not overdo distance when working on the concept of that. Some learners tend to mistake that for “very far”—show them an example of that referring to an object which is near you but not with you and clear up any doubts sts might have about it. Repeat procedures for plural nouns (glasses, earrings, wallets, bags, pens, etc.). Ask: What are these? They’re… / What are those? They’re… Drill form and pronunciation.

Books open. Read the lesson Song line on top of p. 11 with the class, “You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, ella,” and elicit the name of the song or artist (“Umbrella” by Rihanna).

Tell sts to read the AS 1.20 on p. 156 and look for examples of this / that / these / those. Elicit the rules, encourage sts to draw their own conclusions. For each case, ask: Is it singular? Is it plural? Why “this” and not “that”?, etc. Sts go back to p. 11 and complete the rules by themselves in pairs. Classcheck. Practice: Ask sts to form small groups and ask and answer questions using their own belongings. For real beginners, have prompts on the board: What’s this / that? It’s a… or What are these / those? They’re…. Monitor closely and provide any new words sts may need to name their objects.

Warm-up Recycle personal objects and demonstrative pronouns. Display about six photos on the IWB, or use flashcards or realia of objects sts learned in lesson 1.3 activity 8A. When selecting your photos, choose a variety of singular and plural nouns. From the sts’ perspective, they should point to the board (or flashcards / realia on the teacher’s table) and use that or those to test each other in pairs, asking “What is that? / What are those?” and answering “It’s a… / They’re…” Drill pronunciation briefly and model the activity with a student. Books open to p. 11. Sts now test each other by pointing to the items in 8A. Make sure they switch to this and these and ask “What’s this? / What are these?”

9 Grammar: Possessive Adjectives A Books open. Focus on the pictures and elicit / pre-teach objects sts can see in each of them. Establish the context (after a party). Ask: What’s this? / What are these? (Earrings, chips, a sandwich, a phone, a laptop, etc.) If you have time, for each object they identify, review “The Alphabet” and ask the whole class How do you spell that?, writing on the board as sts spell objects for you. Say: Listen to six dialogs and match them to the correct picture / situation. Point to the dialogs in 9A and pictures. Highlight the small box in each dialog where they should write the corresponding picture numbers 1-6. Say: Don’t write in the spaces, only write the picture numbers here.

Have sts call out colors as well and take part in the game with the whole class. Books open. Read the lesson Song line on top of p. 13, “We all live in a yellow submarine,” and check if sts know the song / band (“Yellow Submarine,” by The Beatles). Song line:

Say: I think Harry Potter is a good book / movie. Ask: What about you? Ask for opinions about pretty / ugly actresses / female singers, good / bad actors / actresses / singers / soccer players.

Tip Allow opportunity for sts to use adjectives previously learned in this unit (excellent, fantastic, interesting, terrible, etc.), but also guide them / generate opportunities to teach the opposites in this lesson (bad, ugly, etc.). Keep a record on the board of incidental vocabulary / adjectives that come up in the conversation. Show (a photo of) an old cell phone and contrast it to a new one to teach new and light vs. old and heavy. Use gestures to convey meaning. Sts look at the quiz in A again and notice the adjectives in bold. Individually, they write opposites to the adjectives in B. Paircheck. Classcheck. Drill pronunciation. Have sts test each other briefly. St A closes his / her book. St B looks at 10B and asks “What’s the opposite of good? / new?” for 30 seconds. Then sts swap roles.

Asking and answering personal questions. Where are you from? Listening to colleagues meet at work. What’s your phone number? Talking to / Meeting people. How are you? Hi! How’s it going? Vocabulary: Personal information (address, name, surname, etc.). Chunks (Thank you, You’re welcome, Excuse me?, etc.) Grammar: Review personal information questions. WB Song Line: “They call me ‘her,’ they call me ‘Jane.’ That’s not my name, that’s not my name.”

Lesson 1.5

Function Reading documents and forms.

Warm-up Recycle colors, the alphabet and “How do you spell that?” Hand out slips of paper with different colors written on them. In pairs, sts test each other and ask “How do you spell (blue)?” “How do you spell (green)?”, etc. Sts take turns spelling their partner’s words for a few minutes.

Use a show of hands to check how many sts use telephone banking and perhaps introduce “online banking” too.

1.25 Notice the sentence stress. M = Mark

J = Justine

M Good evening! Welcome to telephone banking registration. My name’s Mark. How can I help you today?

Skills: Completing a form A

Books open. Focus on the six authentic texts. Sts read

and answer the four questions. Classcheck.

J I need to register for telephone banking. M Certainly. I just need some information. What’s your name? J Justine Wallace. M How do you spell that?

1. Gillian Jane Murphy 2. Lucas Singh, Ken Chang, Amy Johnson, Susana Souza 3. Lucas Singh 4. The USA

J J-U-S-T-I-N-E W-A-L-L-A-C-E. M Your account number, please? J It’s 106924.

B

Focus on the forms in A and draw sts’ attention to the various ways to refer to name, age and nationality. Do number 1 (Name) together with the group. Sts complete 2 and 3 by themselves. Paircheck. Classcheck.

1. Name: full name, given names / first name, surname / last name, name 2. Age: date of birth, birthdate, age 3. Nationality: country of origin, country of birth, nationality

Tip Make sure sts understand those are ways which names, ages and nationalities are usually referred to / requested in forms, that is, written language: passports, hotel check-in forms, company tags, etc. In spoken English, people often ask Where are you from? How old are you? rather than What’s your nationality / country of origin? / What’s your age? etc. So, although these are not the most common ways of asking for those things, transforming each form field into a naturalsounding question is the skill sts are learning in this part of the lesson.

C

Tell sts they’ll listen to a phone conversation. Before they listen, explore the form. Ask: What’s the name of the bank? ($econd State Bank.) What information is necessary? (Name, account number, address, telephone and e-mail.) Elicit what questions they might hear for each (prompt if necessary): What’s your… (name)? What’s your… (account number)?, etc. Play 1.25. Sts listen to fill out the form with the correct information. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

M And what’s your address, Ms. Wallace? J 18 Jeffrey Drive, that’s J-E-F-F-R-E-Y Drive. M Thank you, and what’s your phone number? J 707 is the area code and the number is 988-3405. M Thanks, and what’s your e-mail? J It’s jwallace26 at webmail dot com. M Thanks, now let’s talk about passwords… Name: Justine Wallace. Account number: 106924. Address: 18 Jeffrey Drive. Telephone number: (707) 988-3405. E-mail: [email protected].

D

MAKE IT PERSONAL

Sts choose a form from p. 14 or, alternatively, create a form together with the whole class. It could be a school registration form, a passport request, etc. Ask sts what information they would like to include (name? age? nationality? sex?) and draw the sts’ form on the board. Sts copy their form into their notebooks / sheets of paper. Elicit what questions they’ll need to ask to complete each field / box. In pairs, sts ask and give information about themselves and complete the forms about each other.

When they’ve finished, ask some sts’ to introduce their friends to the whole class. For real beginners, you’ll need to prompt language—write a model on the board: This is my friend… He’s (nationality). He’s (age)., etc.

in Action: Meeting people A

Books closed. Review / Elicit greetings (good morning / afternoon / evening) and ways of introducing yourself (Hi / Hello / I’m / My name’s… Nice to meet you (too)). Introduce How are you? and elicit possible answers. Prompt by asking: How are you? Are you OK? Ask for a volunteer in class to act out a dialog with the teacher. Pair up with the volunteer and introduce yourself; ask: How are you? I’m fine, What about you? Do the same with other sts, alternate asking: How is it going? How are you doing? Gesture / Signal questions are similar / used for the same purpose.

Books open. Sts read the questions and possible answers chart. Sts listen to 1.26 and check the six questions and answers they hear.

Hi, Judy! How are you? Good, thanks. What about you? What’s new? Oh, not much. Things are good. So, are you ready for the meeting?

9 How are you? 9 Good, thanks. 9 What about you? 9 What’s new? 9 Not much. 9 Things are good.

B

Play 1.27 and ask sts to repeat / imitate the intonation of the other phrases and identify the repeated response from A.

1.27 1 How’s it going? 2 How are you doing? 3 What’s up?

1.28 Notice the sentence stress. GF = grandfather GD = granddaughter 1 GF Here’s your gift! Happy birthday! GD Thank you. GF You’re welcome. 2A B

Excuse me. Oh, I’m sorry.

3A

Oops, I’m sorry.

B 4A B

1.26 A B A B

Use the example to model what they have to do. Play 1.28. Sts listen to the other five dialogs and write numbers 2-6 in the correct boxes.

Fine, thanks! I’m well, thanks! Not much!

The repeated response from A is: Not much!

C

Ask two sts to read the speech bubbles in C. Monitor their intonation when reading aloud. Tell sts to work in pairs and create two minidialogs using the questions and possible answers from A. In Dialog 1, st A starts. Dialog 2, st B starts. Monitor for appropriateness. When pairs have finished, ask some to act out their dialogs to the group.

D Focus on the short dialogs and read them with the whole class.

Don’t worry about it. See you later! Bye for now!

S = server C = customer 5 S We have a great fish special today. C Excuse me? Can you say that again, please? S Sure… I said we have a great fish special today. 6S C S

D’ya wanna order now? I don’t understand. Oh, sorry. Are you ready to order?

E

MAKE IT PERSONAL Ask sts to read the instructions to letter E silently. Then ask them: What do you have to do? Check if they understand the task. Clarify the rubrics if they are not clear and look at photos 1-5. In pairs, sts act out each situation and use expressions from A and D. Assign different pairs / partners. Round off the activity by inviting sts to act out their favorite dialog. Make sure all learners have a go and present a dialog to the whole class.

Workbook p. 8 Phrase Bank p. 64 ID Online Portal Grammar p. 118 ID Café Video p. 138 see TB Intro p. 8-16

Tip At this stage (end of unit 1), sts are likely to be familiar with most of the sentences, but check if sts understand “Don’t worry about it” (clarify it by saying: It’s not a problem. Remind them of the popular song “Don’t worry, be happy,” by Bobby McFerrin, which is the song line from WB) and ask for the L1 equivalent of “You’re welcome.”

2 Unit overview: Through the contexts of routine and habits, family, celebrations and reading and listening to interviews, sts learn to use and practice the Present Simple with daily routine verbs, places they visit, frequency adverbs and common chunks for congratulating people or celebrating holidays and events. The Present Simple 3rd person singular is introduced through the memorable context of a Mr. Bean video. The main theme is asking & answering personal questions.

When do you get up? Lesson 2.1

Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use go phrases by talking about places they go to and when or what day(s) of the week they do so. Sts also learn how to tell the time. Function Talking about places you go. Talking about when or what day(s) of the week you do activities.

Language I go to a café on Mondays. I go to the supermarket on Sundays. I go to the gym from Monday to Friday. Telling what time you do activities. What time do you get up? I go to bed at 10:30 p.m. Telling the time. It’s 9:30. Vocabulary: go + places (the gym, the supermarket, a café, etc.). Daily routine verbs: get up, go to bed, go to work. Days of the week. Grammar: Indefinite articles a / an and definite article the in go + activities. Preposition on and days of the week. “What time do you…?” questions.

Warm-up In pairs, sts flick back through p. 6-15 and take turns asking and answering the six title questions from unit 1, that is, “Are you American?”, “Are you an excellent actor?”, “How do you spell your last name?”, etc. Monitor closely for accuracy. Round off the activity by asking sts to tell the class all they can remember from their partner’s answers.

1 Vocabulary: Activities and Days of the Week Books open. Focus on photos 1-8 on p. 16 and 17. Elicit places sts can see and teach what is new vocabulary for them (a café, the gym, etc.). Exemplify with local places and / or elicit examples from sts. Say e.g.: (Carrefour) is a supermarket. (A well-known local church) is a church.

A Sts look at the phrases. Ask: What’s in all the phrases? (the verb go). If they say to, refer them to Common Mistakes . Tip Read the first phrase (go to a café) with them and say A café is a place where we drink coffee, eat cake, etc. Give examples: Starbucks is a café. The drink is called coffee. Write café vs. coffee on the board so sts can see the difference in spelling and practice pronunciation. café = /NǨ IHǹ / and coffee = / NǠIǹ /. Point to the pictures on p. 16 and ask: Where’s the café? (#1) Show number 1 has been done as an example. Ask: What about “go to church”? (#5) Sts match the other phrases to the correct photos. Paircheck. Classcheck. Tell sts they will listen to people talking about places 1-8. Sts point to the photos they hear about. Play 2.1 and monitor closely to see if sts follow.

Tip Pause after each sentence in case you notice it is too fast for them. 2.1 Notice to /WǨ/ and to a /WXZǨ/. Int Int A B C D E F

= interviewer When do you go to these places? I go to a café every day before class for a coffee. I go to church on Sundays. I go to the gym after school. I usually go home after work. I want to go to a party but I have to work. I go to school Monday through Friday, and Saturday morning too! G I go to the supermarket on Saturdays. H I go to work at eight o’clock. (1) go to a café (5) go to church (2) go to the gym (8) go home (7) go to a party (6) go to school (4) go to the supermarket (3) go to work

B

Focus on the four expressions in the box. Write on the board 1) I go to the café on my street every morning. and 2) Every morning I go to a café. Elicit the difference. Ask In which sentence do I go to the same café every morning? (1) and In which sentence don’t we know which café I go every morning? (2)

Extra writing Tell sts to read 1 in B. Ask: Is it a specific place / always the same place? (No.) Sts look at 2 and complete with “go to the.” Ask the same question: Is it a specific…? (Yes.) Now sts look at the phrases in 1A and complete 3 and 4 in B.

38

English ID TCH 21x29.3 Int.indd 38

4/10/13 9:58 AM

2.1 Read Common Mistakes with sts and highlight the mistake. Say “home” is an exception and no preposition is used after go.

2. go to the 3. go 4. go to

C

Tell sts to cover the phrases in A and, in pairs, take turns pointing to the photos and testing each other. What’s this?

D

F

Focus on the speech bubbles and perhaps ask two sts to read the dialog. Elicit some examples / encourage them to use / prompt other go activities from A. In pairs, sts tell each other when they go to… (photos 1-8 in A).

Tip For some activities, sts are likely to need help with other time phrases they might want to say such as everyday or “from Monday to Friday.” Pre-teach / Prompt them while monitoring.

Sts complete the days with the missing letters and number them in the correct order. Sts listen to 2.2 and check. Paircheck. Classcheck with board answers.

While sts perform the activity, monitor for the correct use of phrases learned in B (go to / the / a) and preposition on before days of the week.

Tip Elicit the days of the week and associate each day to a well-known local TV program / event. Ask What’s on TV on Monday? and so on.

Weaker classes You may find it useful to do a quick drill

Weaker classes Play 2.2 and ask sts to read AS 2.2 on p. 157 as they listen, and underline the days in the sentences so they learn the spelling and correct order. Drill pronunciation. For each day, ask: What’s on TV on Monday / Tuesday, etc.? Give examples, e.g. the days they have English lessons, to help convey meaning. Go back to p. 16 and elicit the days in D before sts attempt to fill in the missing letters. In pairs, sts complete the words and order them, 1-7. Classcheck with answers on the board. 2.2 Notice the stress on weekdays. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Sunday, lovely Sunday! Oh, no! Tomorrow’s Monday. School! Yuk! Gee, it’s only Tuesday—four more days of work. I have an important meeting on Wednesday. Only two more days of work—it’s Thursday. Today is Friday. Let’s go to a bar after work! Great! It’s Saturday! My favorite day! No more work for the weekend!

before sts say their own sentences in pairs. T I go to a café on Mondays. Sts I go to a café on Mondays. T Tuesdays. Sts I go to a café on Tuesdays. T The gym. Sts I go to the gym on Tuesdays. Prompts: work / school / church

2 Listening A Focus on the departures chart. Ask: Where are we now? (At / In an airport.) In small groups, sts briefly test each other by asking Where’s New York? (In the USA.); Where’s Rio de Janeiro? (In Brazil.); etc. Focus on the flight times and elicit number 1 (10:15 a.m.). Play 2.3 and pause after number 2 (6:00 a.m.). Ask: What’s number 2? (New York flight.) Tell sts to number the other flights in the order they hear them. Play the rest of 2.3. Paircheck. Play the audio again if necessary. Classcheck. 2.3 Notice the stress in the time.

(1) Sunday (6) Friday (7) Saturday (2) Monday (5) Thursday (3) Tuesday Song line: I don’t care if Monday’s blue, Tuesday’s gray and Wednesday too. Thursday I don’t care about you. It’s… Song: “Friday I’m in Love” Band: The Cure (UK) Year: 1992

Ask sts to look at the lesson Song line on p. 17. Check if they know the song / band. If you have the song, play it as a follow-up to D or at the end of the class. Ask sts to guess positive or negative attitudes towards each day of the week in the song, e.g. “Monday’s blue,” “Tuesday’s gray,” etc. Ask: What’s the composer’s favorite day of the week? (Friday.)

E Model the activity. Encourage a student to say the days in the correct order as fast as he / she can and silently time him / her (use your fingers or a watch to count). Sts now do the same in pairs. St A says the days of the week, st B times it on either a watch or his / her fingers. Sts swap roles and then compare results to see who was the fastest. Ask sts to report their results to the group.

1 2 3 4

We say ten fifteen or a quarter past ten. We say six a.m. or just six o’clock. We say eleven p.m. or just eleven o’clock. We say noon or midday.

5 We say six thirty or half past six. 6 We say five forty-five p.m. or a quarter to six. 7 We say midnight or twelve midnight. 8 We say nine a.m. or just nine o’clock. 2 8 1 4 6 5 3 7

B

This exercise gives sts a first passive “taste” of the 3rd person s. Say: Look at the clock / your watch. What time is it? Say: I get up at (6:00). Gesture getting up or show a photo of someone in bed getting up. Ask a couple of sts: What time do you get up? Repeat procedures with “go to bed” and “get home.”

Tip Do this step as a brief pre-listening stage. Pre-teach only the daily routine activities which are present in 2.4, but do NOT cover all verbs of daily routine just yet nor make a grammar presentation of the Present Simple tense. These items will be dealt with in lesson 2.2 (see SB p. 18-19). 39

English ID TCH 21x29.3 Int.indd 39

4/10/13 9:58 AM

2.1 Tell sts to listen to two interviews and complete with the times and days they hear. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

2.4 Notice the vowel sounds. Which one sounds different? Int = interviewer W = woman M = man 1 Int Hi, I’m doing a survey about sleeping habits. What time do you get up? W Uh, um, at six in the morning. I go to school at six forty-five. Int Thanks. And what time do you go to bed? W Hmm. At around ten p.m., during the week. Maybe at twelve midnight on Friday and Saturday. Int So you get about eight hours sleep a night? W Yeah, that’s it… Bye! Int Thanks. 2 Int Hello. We’re doing a survey about working hours. What time do you go to work? M Hmm… I go to work at eight thirty a.m. Int Every day? M No, no. From Monday to Friday. I don’t work on Saturdays and Sundays. Int And when do you get home from work? M Well, I usually get home at around six fifteen p.m. OK? Bye! The woman gets up at six in the morning. She goes to school at six forty-five. She goes to bed at ten p.m. She gets eight hours sleep a night. The man goes to work at eight thirty from Monday to Friday. He gets home at six fifteen.

C

Write ON and AT on the board and tell sts to complete numbers 1-6 with either word as they listen to 2.4 again. Paircheck. Sts look at the 5 box and decide / write the rules by themselves. Classcheck.

1. at 2. at 3. on 4. at 5. on 6. at

5 box at / on

Focus on Common Mistakes and teach What time do you…? as a chunk. Focus on the mistake and highlight there’s no preposition for now in the question.

D

MAKE IT PERSONAL Books closed. Conduct choral and individual repetition of What time do you…? and use prompts 1-4 from D (get up / go to bed / go to school, etc.).

Books open. Read the model dialog with the whole class. In pairs, sts ask each other What time do you questions about weekdays and weekends. After they finish, ask a pair to present part of their dialog (three questions) to the class.

Tip Asking sts to report what their partners said might lead to errors at this stage, as they don’t know Present Simple 3rd prioritizes person singular. Let them say what they can. fluency as much as accuracy, and they will learn it next lesson anyway. Or you might ask What time does he / she…? and accept short answers though, e.g. “at 6 a.m.” instead of complete sentences (“He gets up at…”).

Grammar: Present Simple: all persons, & forms, Present Simple 3rd person s, following on from preview in 2B. Review / extend: countries / nationalities (France / French, Korea / Korean, Japan / Japanese).

Lesson 2.2

Function Daily sleep patterns. Telling your daily routine.

Warm-up Play a quick mime game with the go activities and daily routine verbs from the previous lesson: go to the gym, go to the supermarket, get up, go to bed / sleep, go home, etc. You might ask sts to choose a verb from p. 16 and 17 or hand out slips of paper with verbs written on them to each student, e.g. I go to school at 7 a.m. to mime their phrase for the class to guess.

3 Reading A Ask: What do you know about the four countries? Capital? Famous people? Money? Famous food? What do the people like / eat, etc.? Focus on the question in white on the report. Ask sts to give predictions for each country. Focus on the picture. Ask: What can you see? (The world in bed / sleeping.) Then complete the table. Play 2.5 and ask sts to follow / read the text as they listen. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask about your country What about ? How many hours do sleep? Let’s check! and move to B.

8 hours and 50 minutes / 8 hours and 38 minutes / 7 hours and 49 minutes / about 8 hours

B

MAKE IT PERSONAL Drill pronunciation of questions

1 and 2. Ask sts to stand up and walk around the class asking 1 and 2. Tell them to take notes and interview as many classmates as possible. When they have finished, ask them to sit in small groups and compare their answers. Ask the whole class question 3: On average, how many hours do people in your class sleep?

4 Vocabulary: Morning Routine A

Focus on the pictures. Say: This is Jim. (point to the character). Elicit as much as possible and use the illustrations and gestures / mime to convey meaning. In pairs, sts match phrases 1-10 to Jim’s pictures. Paircheck. Sts listen to 2.6 to check their answers and repeat phrases as they hear them. Follow-up: Ask sts to cover the phrases and test each other in pairs. St A points to the pictures, st B comes up with the correct phrase. After a minute, sts swap roles. In pairs, they play a mime game. Sts A and B take turns choosing one action from pictures 1-10 to mime for the other to guess.

2.6 “wake up” “get up” “make the bed” “exercise” “take a shower” “shave” “get dressed” “have breakfast” “brush my teeth” “leave home” wake up (10) get up (4) make the bed (7) exercise (2) take a shower (9) shave (8) get dressed (3) have breakfast (5) brush my teeth (1) leave home (6)

B

Tell sts they will hear sound effects of Jim doing the activities from A and they need to guess them. Say: Listen and guess the activity and write it down first, then compare with a partner. Play 2.7 and classcheck.

exercise; have breakfast; get up; brush my teeth; wake up; leave home; shave; make the bed; take a shower; get dressed.

C Sts listen to Jim talking about his morning routine. Tell them to use the numbers from A , as in the example (10) (wake up) at 6:30 a.m. Look at the times and time expressions and elicit from sts how they are said. Play 2.8 and sts match other activities to correct times. Paircheck. Classcheck. Tip Always encourage sts to use language / short dialogs to paircheck, instead of doing it visually / looking at each other’s books. E.g.: St A: Not immediately? B: Get up. Number 4. What about for 30 minutes? A: (That’s) exercise. Number 2. 2.8 Notice the word stress. Well, I wake up at around six thirty a.m., but I don’t get up immediately. I stay in bed for three or four minutes, then I get up. I don’t make my bed. Then I exercise for thirty minutes. After that, I take a shower, shave, get dressed and have breakfast—coffee, juice and cereal. Then I brush my teeth and, finally, leave home at around eight a.m.

2.2 (10) Wake up at around six thirty. (4) Don’t get up immediately. (2) Exercise for 30 minutes. (6) Leave home at around eight a.m.

D MAKE IT PERSONAL In pairs, sts tell each other what they do every morning. Ask them to refer to pictures in A and include the time they do each activity. Weaker classes Learners often feel more confident if they have the chance of writing a small paragraph about their morning routine before they talk about it. You could give them 3-5 minutes to write down their morning routine beforehand. Read the lesson Song line on top of p. 19 with sts and elicit the name of the song / band from them. Ask: Do you know the song? Do you like The Beatles? What other Beatles songs do you know / like? The aim of the song is to help anchor 3rd person s which is coming now.

Song line: She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah! She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah! Song: “She Loves You” Band: The Beatles (UK) Year: 1967

Tip Mask the bottom of the screen if you wish to hide the subtitles.

E

Ask sts: Do you know / remember Mr. Bean? Do you like him? Do you think he’s funny? Play 2.9 or the video and tell sts they need to remember at least five morning activities shown in the video. Feedback. Then open books and focus on the highlighted s and es on the photo.

2.9 He wakes up at eight a.m., but he doesn’t get up. He sleeps again. He gets up, he makes his bed, he exercises, he shaves, then he leaves home.

F MAKE IT PERSONAL Ask a student to read the speech bubble to the class. Write I wake up at 8 a.m. on the board. Then write Mr. Bean… and elicit the rest of the sentence from sts. Highlight the “s” for 3rd person and elicit other verb forms. If possible, conduct a quick drill (T: I get up at 7 a.m. He… Sts: “He gets up at 7 a.m.”). In pairs, sts compare their routine to Mr. Bean’s. Monitor closely for accuracy.

5 Grammar: Present Simple

form of the verb in parenthesis. Paircheck. Classcheck with board answers. Drill sentences and change subjects so as to consolidate form. If you feel sts need further practice, do Grammar p. 120 in class.

1. I leave home at 6 a.m. 2. You go to school at 7:30 a.m. 3. My sister makes her bed in the morning. 4. My dad takes a shower at night. 5. My brother and I get up at 6 a.m. 6. My partners have breakfast at 10 a.m.

B In pairs talk about Jim’s routine (from 4A). St A is his mother / father. St B shows interest in Jim’s routine. Classcheck. Jim wakes up at around 6:30 a.m, but he doesn’t get up immediately. He stays in bed for a few minutes, then he gets up. He doesn’t make his bed. Then he exercises for 30 minutes. After that, he takes a shower, shaves, gets dressed and has breakfast. Then he brushes his teeth and, finally, leaves home at around 8 a.m.

Common Mistakes Focus sts’ attention on 3rd person S, the use of has and the use of does not.

C

Elicit negative forms of some sentences in the Grammar table in A. Sts listen to 2.10 to check their answers. Classcheck with answers on the board. Play the track again and have sts repeat the sentences. As a followup activity, ask sts to work in different pairs and say the sentences in A according to what is true for them, e.g. My sister doesn’t make her bed in the morning (if a student does not have a sister, he / she needs to change to brother, etc.). Ask some sts to report their sentences to class.

Where does he live? He lives in Mexico. Vocabulary: Review family relationships (brothers, cousins, parents, etc.). Grammar: Present Simple Question order. QASI (Question Word + Auxiliary + Subject + Infinitive) vs. ASI (Auxiliary + Subject + Infinitive).

Lesson 2.4

Function Listening to an immigration officer interview a tourist.

Warm-up Review Wh questions. Write questions on the board or slips of paper and have sts interview each other in pairs. Remember to include a few Yes / No questions so sts start internalizing the different types of questions, which will be dealt with in 8A, p. 22. Suggestions: Where do you live? How many hours do you study English on weekends / per week? Do you speak French? When do you cook? Do you like Japanese food? What time do you have dinner? How do you get to school / work / college? Encourage sts to report their partner’s

answers to the whole class. Monitor closely for the use of Present Simple 3rd person singular when they do so.

8 Grammar: Present Simple A Books open. Focus on the Grammar box. Refer to the questions sts have just used in the warm-up and tell them to identify which of them are Information questions and which are Yes or No questions. For further practice, go to Grammar p. 120. (2) ASI.

(1) QASI.

Tip Acronyms ASI (Auxiliary + Subject + Infinitive) and QASI (Question Word + Auxiliary + Subject + Infinitive) are extremely useful as a mnemonic resource to help sts remember word order in questions. Keep referring back to it for correction.

C

Read one of the answers aloud to sts and elicit which question in B could match it. For example, No, I don’t. I live with my girlfriend. Ask What’s the question? and point to B (4). Sts match the rest of the answers to the questions in B. Play 2.13. Sts listen to an immigration officer interviewing a tourist to check. Classcheck.

9 Pronunciation: Question Intonation and Silent E

Common Mistakes Try to elicit from sts why they usually make the mistakes shown (transferring from mother tongue structure / comparing questions in L1 and L2). Remind them that the A of ASI and QASI is the easiest part to get wrong.

B

Individually, sts classify sentences in ASI or QASI. Paircheck. Classcheck. Do not drill pronunciation of sentences just yet (or have sts ask the questions) as number 9 on p. 22 works on the intonation of each one in depth and sts will then practice.

1. QASI

2. ASI

3. QASI

4. ASI

5. QASI

6. ASI

A Read the rubrics with sts then turn to p. 157 to read AS 2.13 while listening again to notice falling and rising intonation. Sts complete the 5 box on p. 22. Conduct choral and individual repetition of all the questions in 2.13. Monitor sts’ ability to produce rising and falling intonation. Use gestures to help. Correct sts on the spot. Stronger classes Remind sts that intonation does not exist in isolation, that is, different contexts create room for exceptions. E.g. an Information question such as “How many cousins do you have?” might be uttered with rising intonation if the speaker is surprised and asking for repetition / confirmation. Yes / No questions could have falling intonation, e.g., “Are you married?” if the question 45

English ID TCH 21x29.3 Int.indd 45

4/10/13 9:59 AM

2.4 is asked with disappointment. If sts notice exceptions to the general “rule” celebrate! It means they have taken it on the board, noticed something different and, on top of this, had the courage to raise it with you. In yes / no questions the intonation usually goes up. In information questions the intonation usually goes down.

B

Sts complete questions 1-5 with either an auxiliary verb or a question word. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Now ask sts to work in different pairs. Together, they decide whether sentences 1-5 have rising or falling intonation. Do number 1 as a model. Say Do you have a brother? and ask: Is the intonation of this question going up or down? (Up.) Classcheck and drill pronunciation. Round off the activity by having sts ask and answer questions 1-5 about themselves. Sts report their partner’s answers to the whole class.

Optional activity In pairs, sts practice saying the words in the box and notice which ones rhyme (come / some, before / more, make / take, where / there). Remembering words in rhyming pairs is a very useful learning strategy.

10 Listening A

Explore the photos and elicit possible relationships between the people. (They’re family, but let sts speculate a little and do not provide answers.) Tell sts to listen to Miguel talking about the photos to a friend and check if their guesses were right. Play 2.15 once. Classcheck.

2.15 Notice the intonation at the end of each question. M = Miguel W = woman W Hm… Who’s this? M That’s my brother, Juan.

1. Do you have a brother? 2. How many cousins do you have? 3. What’s your mother’s name? 4. What’s your father’s name? 5. Do they live in your town? Explore the lesson Song line on top of p. 23 and see if sts know the song / band. Focus on Wh words “Who” and “What” and elicit more example questions with both words from sts.

Song line: I know, I know it’s you. You say hello and then I say I do. Where d’you wanna go? Who d’you wanna be? What d’you wanna do? Just stay with me. Song: “Around The World” Band: Red Hot Chili Peppers (USA) Year: 1999

C

World of English Write the following words on the board: HOME, GIVE and ARE. Highlight the last E in all of them and ask sts: Do we say / pronounce this letter? (No.) Remind them it is the most common letter in English (see lesson 1.2). Play 2.14 and ask sts to read World of English while listening to it. Tell sts to find three more words on p. 22 and 23 ending in silent E.

W Uh-huh. Does he play soccer? M Yes, he does! He loves soccer. W And who’s that? M That’s my sister, Martina. W So you have a sister! Where does she live? M In Alaska. And, those are my parents. W Wow, Alaska! And, do your parents live there too? M No, they live in Barcelona. There are five questions in the dialog. The man with the ball is Miguel’s brother, Juan. The girl is his sister, Martina, and the others are his parents.

B

MAKE IT PERSONAL Ask sts to show photos of their family or simply write down some relatives’ names. Set the activity using the minidialogs in the speech bubbles. Sts work in small groups and ask and answer questions about their relatives. Classcheck. Get individual sts to tell you any interesting “secrets” they learned!

How often + Present Simple questions. WB Song line: “It’s your birthday. We’re gonna party like it’s your birthday.”

Lesson 2.5

Function Reading / Role-playing an interview with a rock star.

Warm-up Play a competitive game to review nationalities. Sts work in pairs or trios. Sts have one minute to write as many words in English under a given topic as possible. All sts should contribute with suggestions but only one member of each group writes down the vocabulary list. Give an example: For example, “Food!” You write “hamburger,” “sandwich,” “pizza,” “hotdog,” etc. until I say “Stop!” After sts have understood the task, say: But the topic is not food… it’s “nationalities!”

2.16 Host So, Ginny, ten quick questions. Ready? Ginny Uh-huh. Host What is your full name? Ginny Virginia Maria Lomond. Host Hm. And how old are you? Ginny Umm!!! OK, I’m 23. Host Do you have a boyfriend?

Give them one minute to write their lists. Then ask the group with the longest list to read their nationalities aloud. Keep track of all words they say on the board and ask other groups to check off the ones they have on their lists. When the winning group finishes reading their lists, elicit different ones. For fun, take off one point for each mispronunciation other groups might have come up with.

Ginny No, I don’t. People don’t want to date a famous person. Host Where do you live? Ginny I live in Paris. Host And where does your family live? Ginny Well, my mom lives in Paris and my dad lives in L.A. Host Nice! How often do you visit your dad? Ginny Oh, I always go to L.A. in December to stay with him. L.A. is fantastic!

Skills: Processing personal information A

Explore the photo. Ask: Who’s Ginny Lommond? What does she do? (She’s a pop singer.) Sts look at the interview questions and in pairs fill in the blanks. Classcheck with board answers. When correcting question 2 (And how old are you?), take the opportunity to look at the Common Mistakes .

Common Mistakes Elicit possible answers for question 2 in A. Sts look at the mistake and check how the question should be answered. Highlight the fact that the verb be is also present in the question (How old are you?). 2. are 3. have 4. do 8. do 9. go 10. Do

5. does

6. do

7. have

B Point to the interview / Ginny’s answers in A and ask sts to match them to the correct questions in A as well. Set up using the example given. Paircheck. Play 2.16 for students to check their answers. Elicit any surprises in pronunciation they may have noticed.

Host Great! Do you have any brothers or sisters? Ginny No. I’m an only child. Host I see. And what do you do on the weekend? Ginny I sleep a lot and occasionally go for a walk. And I never work on Mondays, so I often go to bed late on Sundays. Host OK, and what time do you go to bed on weekdays? Ginny I usually go to bed at 11 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, but I sometimes go to parties! Host And our final question! Do you exercise regularly? Ginny No, I don’t exercise. Well, only occasionally (when I walk). I’m a little lazy! 6

D Books open. Focus on the chart to establish meaning. Drill pronunciation of the six adverbs. Elicit some examples from sts. Say: (Student), tell me something you always do, etc. Sts look at Ginny’s answers in A and underline five examples of frequency adverbs. Paircheck, and sts complement their answers if their partner has underlined a different example in the text. Classcheck. Highlight and drill the question How often do you…? Weaker classes Review / Elicit the days of the week and write them on the board. Make it look like a calendar. Give some examples about your routine, exemplifying adverbs of frequency. Say, for example: I always have dinner at 8 p.m. Check off all days. Now say: I usually have breakfast in the morning and check off four days. Say I occasionally take a bus / drive to work and check off one day in the week calendar on the board. Then go to activity D on p. 24, as above. How often do you visit your dad? / Oh, I always go to L.A. in December / I sleep a lot and occasionally go for a walk. And I never work on Mondays / I usually go to bed at 11 p.m.

E

MAKE IT PERSONAL Send sts to p. 16 and review /

elicit the go activities in the lesson photos. Sts write five activities and How often do you…? questions to interview their partners. Monitor closely as they write.

Weaker classes Model the activity by having sts interview you before they work in pairs.

Cultural note We use merry Christmas, but we say happy birthday.

Common Mistakes Highlight the different uses of on + day / date but at for a festive period. Elicit more examples for both or use those in MAKE IT PERSONAL . In pairs, sts talk as much as they can about their own preferred activities on these festive occasions. Add in any locally relevant ones too, e.g. at Easter, at Ramadan (it’s a month long), on Independence Day, etc. Get them to ask you first.

A

Tip Correct any important mistakes, but otherwise try to see the second phase as fluency as much as accuracy. If you encourage sts to use the phrases in the table and then gesture / mime / draw other things they can’t say, they should really enjoy seeing how much they are able to express here.

Tip For fun get sts to suggest what the people might be saying, e.g. “Yum, yum!”, “Bye! See you!”, “Thank you!” “Wow! I hate you!”, etc. You can do this with most people photos and it helps sts to learn lots of useful little exclamations.

D MAKE IT PERSONAL Ask What do you usually do on your birthday? and point to the table in D. Individually, sts check how they celebrate their birthdays with each suggestion. Sts paircheck by asking How often do you…? questions. Highlight position of often after don’t in the example. Classcheck by asking sts to report some of their partner’s answers to the class.

in Action: Celebrating Focus on photos 1-6. Elicit what people might be saying in photo number 6 (Happy birthday!). In pairs, sts match the rest of the photos to the phrases in A. Do not tell them the answer just yet—they will check in B.

B

Sts listen to 2.17 to check their answers to A. Classcheck and drill pronunciation of all phrases. In pairs, sts test each other: st A covers the phrases and st B points to the photos in A. Sts swap roles. Round off by asking all sts to cover the phrases and you point to each photo and test the whole class.

Tip Tell sts not to say / signal to their partners where spaces are between words when spelling—the student who listens and writes the letters is supposed to recognize each word / where the spaces are once the sentence is complete. They should say: “Number 1: m-y-c-i-t-y-i-s-i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g.”

Weaker classes Drill pronunciation of all questions before sts ask and answer in pairs.

Paircheck: encourage st A to check if st B’s sentences are OK. Swap roles. St A closes the book. St B spells all letters of sentences 4-6 for st A to write down. Paircheck: St B reads and checks if st A made any mistakes. Sts take turns saying sentences 1-6 and adapting them to make true sentences about themselves, e.g. “My city is interesting.” / “I think Jazz isn’t great.

R1 expensive.) How many guests do you see at the reception? (Four.) How many receptionists? (One.) Sts work in pairs. Assign who is A and B and allow sts some time to read about their roles. In pairs, sts role-play the situation.

Weaker classes Ask sts to write the minidialog before they role-play it so they have more time to plan their questions and answers. Help whenever necessary.

J

MAKE IT PERSONAL Question time. Sts look at the Language Map on p. 2-3 and take turns asking and answering the lesson titles from units 1 and 2. Monitor closely for accuracy and encourage sts to ask follow-up questions when suitable. At the end, ask them how they

felt performing the task: Do you feel comfortable with all of the questions? Which ones are easy? Which ones are difficult?

Tip As a form of evaluation, get sts to record themselves answering the questions in pairs, in or out of class, e.g. on their phones. When they listen to themselves they will get much of the feedback they need. They can upload these recordings digitally to build a portfolio of themselves speaking English, which you can use as a proportion (e.g. 10-20%) of their overall marks. When you ask sts to record themselves as part of their assessment they often re-record many times in order to get a satisfactory result, which is excellent practice for them.

3 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 3 are the weather, months, Present Continuous (for both present and future uses), time expressions (tomorrow morning, next week, etc.) and making offers. The topics are introduced and practiced through the contexts of weather forecast, phone conversations, talking about what celebrities are doing in photos taken by paparazzi, the routine of the members of the British Royal Family. Sts also answer a questionnaire about the reasons why they’re learning English and how they feel about it and role-play a dialog with informal language / chunks for making simple offers.

What’s the weather like? Lesson 3.1

Lesson Aims: Sts continue to practice verb be to learn to ask and answer about the weather. Function Talking about the weather.

Language ? How’s the weather in ? What’s the weather usually like in It’s usually hot and windy. Vocabulary: Weather words – hot, warm, cool, cold, sun, sunny, rain (verb / noun), rainy, fog, foggy, snow (verb / noun), snowy, cloud, cloudy, wind, windy. Grammar: What’s the weather like? Skills: Analyzing your English.

Warm-up Books closed. Write the lesson Song line Here comes the sun. Here comes the sun and I say it’s alright. on the board. Check

if sts know the song / band. Draw (or quickly mime) the “sun,” “rain,” “wind,” “cloud” and “snow” and elicit all items. Song line: Here comes the sun. Here comes the sun and I say it’s alright. Song: “Here Comes the Sun” Band: The Beatles (UK) Year: 1969

1 Vocabulary: The Weather A Books closed. Ask When do we use the letter S at the end of words in English? Elicit examples of the four uses in World of English . There are two more uses too (Let’s, where ’s = us, and She’s gone, where ’s = has), but we suggest you avoid mentioning these at this stage. Read World of English with the whole class. Highlight the -y endings of the three adjectives and ask if sts know other adjectives that have the same ending (early, military, easy, ready). Remind them that of course not all adjectives end in -y by any means! Elicit examples they already know (colors, new, old, good, great, big, etc.). Elicit the correct adjective for sun (sunny). Point to the weather table. Sts complete the table with the correct adjective under each noun. Paircheck. Play 3.1 for sts to check. Drill pronunciation using opposing pairs of words so sts spot the differences: sun—sunny, cloud—cloudy, etc.

3.1 Notice the sentence stress. T = teacher C = class T Today, let’s look at the weather symbols. This yellow circle means the sun, or sunny weather. A cloud means cloudy,

obviously, and this symbol means wind or windy. The next symbol is for fog or foggy weather. The cloud with these little lines means rain or rainy weather. And the white cloud with stars means snow or snowy conditions. OK? C Yes, miss! T And for temperature, we usually just say hot, warm, cool or cold. Any questions? C No, miss! cloudy, windy, foggy, rainy, snowy

B

Point to the thermometer on the left top of p. 28. Use it to teach warm, cool, cold and hot. Exemplify with the day’s local weather. Write all the words on the board and draw sts’ attention to last consonant sounds—correct them if sts add extra vowel sounds to the end of those words as they might follow the adjective pattern presented in A (rainy, cloudy, etc.).

Cultural note In some tropical regions, the concept of “cold” may vary according to the inhabitants’ perspective. If you teach in a tropical climate region, your sts are likely to think (and argue) that 15 degrees means “cold”—but make sure they understand that in most English-speaking countries that would be considered “cool.” (a) cold

(b) cool

(d) hot

(c) warm

C

In pairs, sts cover A and B and refer to the thermometer and the photos on p. 28-29. They test each other and see how many weather words they can come up with by looking at the photos from the lessons. Monitor closely. Classcheck.

Stronger classes Prompt / Teach any new words sts feel like expressing (e.g.: dry, wet, humid, etc.).

D Sts hear two people talking about two different photos (from p. 28-29). They have to listen and guess which two photos are being described. Paircheck. Classcheck. Tell sts to remember the words that made them guess the photos. There is more than one possible correct answer for this exercise. The important aspect to take into consideration is how sts justify their choice. 3.2 A B A B A

OK, in this photo, the weather is beautiful. Yes, it’s hot and very sunny. Maybe it’s Cancun? And in this picture it’s hot. Yes, and it isn’t raining. It’s very dry.

Pictures 1, 2 or 6 are possible answers.

E In pairs, sts perform the task about photos 1-10. Ask sts to refer to AS 3.2 on p. 157 in case they have a specific doubt or feel they need a model. Classcheck by playing a guessing game with the whole class: a pair of sts talk about a photo. The rest of the group listens and tries to guess which photo is being described. For small groups, repeat the procedure three times. For larger groups, repeat the procedure for five different photos in order to get more sts to participate. Weaker classes Write some prompts on the board: In this photo, the weather is… / It’s (hot) and (dry). / Maybe it’s (city). / Yes, I agree., etc.

2 Listening A

Focus on the five places from the table and elicit where they are (the Alps: Europe; the Amazon forest: South America; the Atacama Desert: Chile; Cancun: Mexico; Chicago: the USA) and what sts think the weather is usually like in each of them. Play 3.3 and ask sts to number the places in the order they hear them. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask sts: Why do they say the weather is crazy?

3.3 Notice the s endings. B = Bob M = Mary J = Joe B Everywhere, the weather is… crazy! Take the Amazon forest, for example. It’s usually very rainy there, but now… no rain for three months! The Amazon river is down by ten meters. It’s crazy! From the forest to the desert: the Atacama Desert is usually hot and sunny 350 days a year. This year, the days and nights are cool and cloudy. It’s crazy! And how’s the weather in Chicago, the Windy City? Mary, tell us. What’s the weather like in Chicago? M Well, Bob, no wind for us! This month, every morning, it’s cool and foggy. It’s crazy! B Thanks, Mary. Let’s go to the Alps. Those beautiful mountains. What’s the weather usually like there? It’s snowy, right? And what’s it like this year? Tell us, Joe?

J Uh-huh. It’s warm and there’s absolutely no snow. Skiing is impossible. It’s crazy! B How about Cancun, that fantastic beach? Well, tourists go to Cancun to enjoy the hot weather, but this summer: it’s cold. Really cold. It’s crazy! What’s the weather like where you are? Any crazy weather stories? Write to us at globalwarming.org. (4) The Alps – it’s warm and there’s absolutely no snow. (1) The Amazon forest – no rain for three months. (2) The Atacama Desert – the days and nights are cool and cloudy. (5) Cancun – it’s cold. (3) Chicago – no wind.

Extra Internet / Smartphone activity If you have an IWB and / or cell phones with Internet in the classroom, ask sts to guess (and write on a piece of paper) the temperature and weather conditions in a distant city at a certain month of the year (e.g. Moscow, Chicago, etc.). Collect the slips of paper and redistribute them to sts so they can check their classmates’ guesses about the current weather conditions in that place. The winner is the one who gets closer to the real weather conditions.

B Now sts listen to 3.3 again and fill in the table in A with the adjectives used to describe the weather (Usually / Now) in the five different places. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask sts: Is the weather crazy in your / our country too? Why? / Why not? Usually

C Ask: Do you remember the questions from the weather forecast? ( 3.3) Elicit the missing word in the first question (how). Individually, sts complete questions 1-3. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Weaker classes Real beginners might need to read the audio script and look for questions 1-3 in it. Ask sts to read the R box and elicit what the weather is like now / is usually like in (your city).

1. And how’s the weather in Chicago? 2. What’s the weather usually like there? 3. What’s it like this year?

Are you busy at the moment? Lesson Aims: Sts continue to practice verb be to talk about the seasons and months. Sts learn the Present Continuous through the context of routine activities. Language What’s your favorite season? What are you doing? Are you busy? I’m cooking dinner now. Vocabulary: Months, seasons, actions (buying groceries, cooking dinner, doing homework, riding a bike, running in the park, talking on a landline). Key phrases: Are you busy? Call you later. No problem. Grammar: Present Continuous.

Lesson 3.2

Function Talking about seasons and months. Describing actions which are happening at the moment.

Warm-up Display some weather photos around the class or on the IWB and have sts ask and answer “What’s the weather like?” / “It’s…” Monitor closely for accuracy. Tell sts to open their books to p. 31 and have them read the lesson Song line. Check if sts know the song / band and when it was recorded.

Song line: Just about half past ten, for the first time in history it’s gonna start raining men! It’s raining men! Hallelujah! Song: “It’s Raining Men” Band: The Weather Girls (USA) Year: 1982

3 Reading A Books open. Sts read the months and, with the aid of the pink syllables, try to pronounce them in pairs. Ask them to write S if word stress is the same in their mother tongue and D in case word stress is different. The words with no pink syllables have only one syllable. Classcheck with 3.4. Play the track again and have sts repeat all the months. 3.4 January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

B

Focus on the encyclopedia text title and elicit / preteach the four seasons of the year. Go over tasks 1-5 and make sure sts understand what they have to do. In small groups, sts read the text and help each other. Walk around the class and offer help when needed. Sts check their answers in C.

1. July, February, October, March, May, June, August. 2. winters, falls, springs. 3. dry season, rainy season. 4. Continents: Europe, North America, South America, Central America. Countries: India, Australia. 5. North, West, South.

C

Sts read the text in B and try to guess how to pronounce the words. Then, they listen to 3.5 to check

their answers. Classcheck.

Tip When checking answers to numbers 2-3 (seasons), get sts to read the World of English section. Cultural note There are various definitions of a continent. In English-speaking countries, North and South America are considered to be separate continents. However, they are considered as one continent in Spanish and Portuguesespeaking countries. 3.5 Four seasons or two? Countries with a temperate climate, like the ones in Europe and North America, have four very defined seasons: hot summers in June, July and August; cold winters in December, January and February, with heavy snow in some countries; cool, windy falls in September, October and November and warm springs in March, April and May. In contrast, tropical regions, especially around the equator, have only two seasons: the dry season and the rainy season. So, in places like India, West Africa, Central America, the north of South America and the north coast of Australia, the rainy season is in the winter calendar (June, July and August), and it’s accompanied by very high temperatures.

D Sts focus on Common Mistakes . Encourage them to practice saying a few sentences about their country. Write on the board: It’s usually cool / cold / hot / warm / rainy in (month) in (country). Sts use the prompts on the board and create their own sentences. Classcheck. MAKE IT PERSONAL Assign different groups—make sts work with classmates they do not usually sit near. In small groups, sts take turns asking and answering questions 1-4. Round off the activity by asking a student of each group to report group answers.

4 Grammar: Present Continuous A

Explore pictures 1-6 and guide sts to the correct activity / actions. Use gestures, mime some of the actions, e.g. running, cooking, riding a bike and doing homework. Drill the pronunciation of each phrase. Sts match photos 1-6 to the correct actions. Play 3.6 and ask: Which action was not in the audio? (You don’t hear the action in picture 2—doing homework.)

Focus on the answers on the board. Ask: What verb tense is this? (Present Continuous) What’s happening tomorrow? Is it present, past or future? (future). Ask the same questions for the last two answers (after filming the action / next week). Ask the whole group: What do you think about their activities? Do you think they’re crazy? Brave?

Today they are studying the weather conditions in Tuscaloosa and reporting a strong tornado for tomorrow. Tomorrow they are evacuating a town and filming the action. After filming the action they have to cut and edit the footage into a program. Next week they are traveling to Missouri.

9 Grammar: Present Continuous for Future A

Read the lesson Song line and check if sts know the song / band. Focus on the last sentence, “Girl, I’m leaving you tomorrow”, and ask What verb tense is it? (Present Continuous) Is it about the present or the future? (Future – “tomorrow”).

Song line: I know it sounds funny, but I just can’t stand the pain. Girl, I’m leaving you tomorrow.

1. A storm is very strong wind and rain. 2. A chaser is a person who is trying to capture something. 3. A plain is a large area of flat land.

Song: “Easy” Band: The Commodores / Lionel Richie (USA)* Year: 1977

B

Focus on the text title, “What’s happening in tonight’s episode?”, and elicit some answers / guesses from the sts. Sts listen to 3.13 while they read the text and match 1-7 to the second column. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Stronger classes Ask sts to explain the uses of “What’s happening” and “What happens” in the text. (6) their next destination (5) the number of people they’re evacuating (7) a famous American singer (1) their location (2) the class of the tornado (4) a storm chaser (3) their vehicle’s weight

*Also recorded by the band Faith No More (USA, 1993).

Sts go back to the text in 8B and underline seven examples of Present Continuous. In pairs, they discuss whether the sentences refer to a present or future action. Classcheck.

What’s happening in tonight’s episode? (future) Today the teams of meteorologists are studying the weather conditions in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (present) They’re reporting a really strong tornado for tomorrow morning. (present) Tomorrow we’re helping to evacuate a population of about 2,000 inhabitants and we’re filming all the action. (future) Next week, they’re traveling to Missouri (future) The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind! (present)

B

Elicit time expressions from sts to expand the list in

3.4 tomorrow night / next Monday?) and encourage sts to come up with their own Present Continuous example sentences.

tomorrow afternoon / evening next month / year / lesson

C Tell sts Reed, Chris and Joel work as Storm Chasers. Read sentences 1-3 with sts and encourage them to guess who is doing what, asking Who do you think is filming the storm, Reed, Chris or Joel? Sts listen to 3.14 and write their initials (R, C or J). Paircheck. Classcheck. For further practice of Present Continuous for future arrangements, go to Grammar on p. 122.

3.14 Notice the word stress. Rep = reporter R = Reed C = Chris G = the guys Rep Today we’re interviewing one of the teams from the TV show Storm Chasers. Hi guys. G Hi. Rep What’s the name of your team? R Dominator. Rep Dominator, right. And you are…? R My name’s Reed Timmer, this is Chris Chittick and this is Joel Taylor. Rep So, what are your plans for tomorrow? R We’re traveling to Mississippi tomorrow. C We’re predicting a big storm there. Rep And who’s filming the action? R Chris. He’s our videographer. Rep And what are you and Joel doing? R Well, we’re meteorologists, so we’re studying the photos from the satellite to get to the center of the storm. Rep Well, good luck. G Thanks.

1. Reed, Chris and Joel are traveling to Mississippi tomorrow. 2. Chris is filming the storm. 3. Reed and Joel are studying the photos from the satellite.

D Sts work in pairs. St A is the reporter / interviewer and st B, one of the Storm Chasers, e.g. Reed. St A interviews Reed and also asks questions about his two other coworkers (Joel and Chris). Refer to the model in the speech bubble and elicit more possible answers. Monitor closely for the correct use of Present Continuous. Sts swap roles. B is the interviewer and A plays the role of another Storm Chasers team member, who answers a question about his / her own plans and the rest of the team’s. Cyber English Point to Joel’s notes and elicit the Present Continuous sentence for “e-mail the information to the TV station.” Some sts are likely to say “He’s sending an e-mail…” but remind them that “e-mail” is now a common verb in English. Read Cyber English with them and ask How often do you e-mail your friends? Are you e-mailing them today?, etc.

E

MAKE IT PERSONAL Give sts a couple of minutes to

think about their appointment book and write down notes in E. Do the same for yourself and have the class ask you “What are you doing…?” questions. Answer with Present Continuous so sts have a clear model from their teacher. In pairs, sts interview each other. Monitor closely. Classcheck with reported answers.

Why are you learning English? / Are you thirsty? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to talk about the reasons they are learning English. Sts learn to use Do you want…? and Would you like …? in the context of making offers.

Lesson 3.5

Function Reading the introduction of a questionnaire. Answering a questionnaire. Listening to two friends talking.

Language Why are you learning English? I’m learning English for many reasons. I’m going abroad next year. What time is it? What’s Linda working on? When does she have to finish it? How many more pages does she have to write? Is she tired?

Vocabulary: Informal English: You tired? Wanna go home? Grammar: Use of have to express obligation, use of to + verb and for + noun, questions (Are you bored?), offers (Would you like to go home?) and responses (Yes, please. / No, thanks.) WB Song line: “I want to break free, I want to break free.”

Skills: Analyzing your English A

Books open. Sts focus on the website photos and see if they can recognize what they are about (New York City, a woman / college student, London). Ask: Why do people learn English?

Focus on the title question but do not ask your sts just yet, as they will talk about their own reasons for learning English in B. Play 3.16 for sts to listen and read the introduction. In pairs, sts mark T (true) or F (false) for sentences 1-2. Classcheck.

1. F

2. T

B Individually, sts take the questionnaire in A. In pairs, they interview / read the questionnaire to each other and compare their answers. Classcheck by asking sts to report their partner’s answers to the whole class. Take this moment to get to know your sts’ needs as much as possible. C

Sts read the Common Mistakes section and the R box and, in pairs, try to explain the uses of “to” and “for” in question 1 from the questionnaire in A.

Want / need / have are verbs usually followed by to. To communicate / to pass an exam / to travel / to emigrate: we use to to introduce a verb as a reason or purpose. For my job / for school / for college / for pleasure: we use for to introduce a noun as a reason or purpose.

in Action: Making offers

1. 12:30. 2. She’s working on a report. 3. Tomorrow. 4. Three pages. 5. Yes, she is. / Yes, kind of.

B

Sts will hear the conversation again and write down Mark’s three questions. Play 3.17. Paircheck. Play the audio again if necessary. Classcheck with answers on the board. Elicit what sts think is going to happen next. Ask: Is Linda going home? Is she finishing the report today?

What are you doing? / Is it a big one? / You tired?

C Play 3.18 for sts to check their guesses. Paircheck. Classcheck. 3.18 Notice the connecting sounds. M = Mark L = Linda M Wanna go home? L No, I really have to finish this tonight. M L M L

OK, so would you like a coffee? Are you having one? Yes. Yes, please, then. Black, no sugar.

M L M L

Do you want a sandwich too? No, thanks. Cookie? Uh-uh, really. I’m not hungry.

M OK. One coffee, coming up. L Thanks. You’re great!

A

Sts listen to Linda and Mark and answer questions 1-5. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

3.17 Notice have to /f/ and kind of /v/. M = Mark L = Linda M Hey Linda, what are you doing? It’s 12:30 a.m. L Oh, it’s you, Mark. Umm… I’m working on this report. I have to finish it by tomorrow. M Ah. Is it a big one? L Yep, I still need to do three more pages. M Ooosh. You tired? L Yeah, kind of.

She wants a coffee.

D Read World of English with the whole class and drill the pronunciation of all the phrases. Ask: Did Mark and Linda use “grammatical” or informal phrases? (Informal.) Play 3.18 again and ask sts to write L (Linda) or M (Mark) next to the informal phrases they say in the audio in World of English . Paircheck. Classcheck. Mark: Wanna go home? / Cookie?

Play 3.18 again, pause after each line and have sts repeat all the phrases. Elicit the dialog from the pictures in the chart and check how much sts can remember. In pairs, sts role-play the dialog. Swap roles. Monitor closely for accuracy and intonation. Ask a pair of sts to act out the dialog for the whole group.

Weaker classes Ask sts to refer to AS 3.18 on p. 158 in case they have difficulty role-playing the dialog with the aid of the pictures only.

F

Individually, sts match the first two columns (questions and offers) in the table. Paircheck. Play 3.19 for sts to check their answers. Classcheck. Ask the class Are you thirsty?, Would you like a drink?, point to the 3rd column (responses) and elicit possible answers. In pairs, sts role-play minidialogs using the questions, offers and responses from the table. Monitor closely for accuracy and appropriateness. At the end, ask three pairs of sts to act out different dialogs to the whole class.

Tip Encourage sts to use informal versions of the questions and offers, e.g. “You hungry? Wanna a sandwich?”. As an extra activity, ask sts to notice the silent letters (marked in gray here) and write the words down as they listen to 3.19.

3.19 1 Are you bored? Wanna go out for a drink? 2 Are you cold? Do you want a sweater? Do you want my jacket?

3 Are you hot? Do you want a cold drink? Do you want an ice cream? 4 Are you hungry? Do you want a sandwich? Want a cookie? 5 Are you thirsty? Would you like a drink? 6 Are you tired? Would you like to go home? Would you like a coffee?

G Mime you are tired / thirsty / hungry and elicit the correct adjectives. For each case, elicit the appropriate question and offer, e.g.: mime tired. Question: Are you tired? Offer: Would you like a coffee? Give sts a positive or negative response from the table in F, e.g. “No, really, I’m fine.” Swap partners. Write the words bored / cold / hot / hungry / thirsty / tired on the board. In pairs, st A mimes an adjective from the board. St B asks a question and makes an offer from the table in F. St A replies with one of the responses from F. Sts swap roles and mime and act out another dialog. Round off the lesson by asking volunteers to mime adjectives to the whole class and have the group as a whole ask questions and make offers.

4 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 4 are sports, can / can’t, possessive pronouns, clothes, and shopping for clothes. They are introduced and practiced through the contexts of a sports TV program, a man’s first day at the gym, questions about abilities such as using Google efficiently, cooking the basics and dressing appropriately, and a job interview. Sts also listen to / watch a video with Barack Obama (“Yes, we can!”) and give opinions about political ideas.

Do you like tennis? Lesson Aims: Sts talk about sports.

Lesson 4.1

Function Listening to a sports program. Listening to people talk about their favorite sports. Talking about sports.

Language Today’s exciting events at the Olympic Games include basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, cycling, running… Skiing. I love to ski. I like volleyball and cycling. Our country is usually good at soccer.

Vocabulary: Sports. Grammar: Definite article the. Skills: Shopping for clothes.

Warm-up In pairs, sts take turns asking and answering the 18 title questions from unit 3 (p. 28-37): “What’s the weather like?” “Are you busy at the moment?” “What are you doing?” etc. Monitor closely for accuracy and ask each student to tell you one interesting answer they got from their partner.

1 Vocabulary: Sports Focus on the photos on p. 38 and ask: What are the photos of? (Sports.) Do you like sports? Do you watch sports on TV? Do you play sports? Do you like / watch the Olympic Games?

Focus on Common Mistakes with the sts and encourage them to make comparisons between the use of the definite article in their mother tongue and in English. Ask Are these typical mistakes you would make from translation? to help you make the point without the need for them to speak any L1. Make sure they understand the rule in red. NB: We can use “the” before uncountable nouns to specify what we are talking about. E.g. I don’t like the soccer they play in Italy. We suggest you only mention this if it arises.

4.1 Today’s exciting events at the Olympic Games include basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, cycling, running, swimming… Wow!

A

Sts match two groups of words to the sports. In pairs, they check their answers and try to pronounce the name of each sport, paying attention to the pink syllables. Say: Listen to part of a sports program and notice the pronunciation of the name of each sport. Play 4.1 so sts can notice if their pronunciation was correct. Classcheck.

Ask: Is your favorite sport there? Use a show of hands to see which are their favorites. Why are the sports in two different groups / lists? (Three possible answers: 1- first group are ball games, second group, no balls. 2- first group are sports people play, second group are sports people go + -ing or 3- first group are words which tend to be similar in L1 except for soccer, which is recognizable by most Latin sts.)

Tip The authors strongly believe that grouping words in different ways, and then getting sts to think about why, really helps them to notice spelling, pronunciation, word roots and origins, and similarities / differences to L1, and thus both process and remember them better. The standard way of presenting groups of words with none of these distinctions is both much less helpful, and less interesting too.

(7) basketball (3) soccer / football (5) tennis (4) volleyball (2) cycling (6) running (1) swimming

B

MAKE ITPERSONAL This is a nice way of integrating

cognitive thinking into behaviorist drills. The teacher can drill any “I like” sentences inside sts’ vocabulary range, and sts only repeat if the sentence is true for them. Suggestions: I like swimming / basketball / cycling / volleyball / sandwiches / big cities / Mondays / English / my teacher, etc.

Tip As with any teacher-lead drill, give a clear, strong signal, like a conductor type signal, or a sweep of the hands, after you have said a sentence so sts repeat it together.

C

Sts listen to more of the same sports program. Point to the two lists of sports in A and to the blank next to each sport. Sts listen to 4.2 and check off the sports they hear the TV presenter Big Mac say in A. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask How does Big Mac feel? Can you remember the six countries? and move on to D.

A very exciting morning here at the Olympic complex. First we have basketball at the Olympic Arena. It’s the semi-final between Cuba and Russia, at nine a.m. Then, at nine thirty at the Olympic Stadium we have soccer, Uruguay versus Italy. What a difficult match! At ten a.m. we have tennis, men’s doubles, at the Central Courts. After that, at ten thirty at North Park we have women’s volleyball, the USA and Australia going for a bronze medal. And at eleven, it’s time for cycling at the Igloo. The men’s five thousand meter final! And that’s just this morning! Tasha, it’s impossible to decide what to watch!

4.3 Notice intonation = speaker’s emotion. Int = interviewer Ja = Jane M = Mark K = Karen J = Joe Int Excuse me, miss? Can I ask you a question? Ja Yes? Int What’s your favorite sport? Ja Skiing. I love to ski. Int Nice! Thanks. Ja You’re welcome. Int Hi, uh, do you have a moment? M Uh, OK. Int What’s your favorite sport? M It’s golf. Absolutely, golf. To play and to watch. Best game in the world! Int Thanks.

Sports: basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball and cycling.

K

Countries: Cuba, Russia, Uruguay, Italy, the USA and Australia.

Int Sorry, uh, hello! Do you have time to answer one question?

D

Sts read the 5 box. Help them with the phonetics, perhaps referring to the Pronunciation Chart on p. 154-155 to remind them of the picture words for /L/ and /Ǩ/. Drill the pronunciation of “the” in different phrases (The Igloo / The Central Courts, etc.). Sts listen to 4.2 again and match times and places. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Stronger classes Instead of beginning with the 5 box, focus on AS 4.2 p. 158. Write the on the board and tell sts it can be pronounced in two different ways, /çL/ or /çǨ/. Drill both forms. Play 4.2 again for sts to listen and read the AS and ask them to notice how “the” is pronounced. You may pause after each “the” phrase (“the Olympic Games,” “the Olympics,” “the Central Courts,” etc.) and elicit the pronunciation used in each case. Then sts go back to p. 39 and read the 5 box to check. Tip Write on the board some famous examples they will have seen many times but may have mispronounced, e.g.,

Uh, hi! Excuse me!

K Uh, what question? Int It’s for a survey. What’s your favorite sport? K Let me think. It’s definitely not football. I hate football. Int You mean soccer? K Int K Int K Int K Int K Int

Oh, yeah, soccer. That’s what you call it here. Uh-huh. Uh… is skateboarding a sport? Well, yes, I guess so. So it’s skateboarding. I absolutely love it. OK, thanks then! Is that all? Yes. Thanks very much! Oh, no problem! Excuse me?

J Uh? What? Int Sorry, but, uh… Do you have time to answer one question?

correctly now.

J Uh, I guess. But only one! Int What’s your favorite sport? J To watch or to play?

Then, ask sts to match times and places in D from memory. Paircheck. Listen again to confirm and classcheck with answers on the board if necessary.

Int To watch and to play. J Well, I like to watch baseball on TV, but, you know, I don’t play baseball. I love to surf. I go surfing every weekend.

Sts listen to four short interviews for a street survey ( 4.3) and number the sports in the order they hear them. Paircheck. Classcheck. Read World of English with the sts. Play 4.3 again and ask them to raise their hands when they hear a British person speak. Is there anything else they notice about British pronunciation, apart from the words football / soccer?

Int Watch baseball and surf. Thanks a lot. J

You’re welcome. Bye.

(6) baseball (1) skiing (3) football (7) surfing (5) skateboarding

Can you drive a tractor? Lesson Aims: Asking and answering questions using can.

Lesson 4.2

Function Talking about abilities. Listening / Reading / Talking about essential abilities. Listening / Role-playing a job interview.

Language Can you run two kilometers? Can you swim? Can you use Google efficiently? I can’t read very well. Can you understand directions? Yes, I can, but not very well. / I can’t at all.

Vocabulary: Various abilities (play a musical instrument, drive, cook well, sing, flirt, bargain, dress appropriately, understand directions, etc.). Grammar: Can questions / short answers.

Warm-up Sts play a spelling guessing game in small groups with the sports they learned in the previous lesson. St A spells out a sport, e.g. T-E-N-N-I-S, and the first to guess the sport before student A finishes spelling the complete word scores one point. St B now spells out a different sport from p. 39, and A and C compete to guess it. Sts swap roles again. If time allows, round off the activity by asking one group to challenge the others.

We can help you with that. Let’s see… Can you ride a bicycle? M A bike? Yes, I can. But I don’t like cycling. J Hmm. OK. Can you play tennis? M No, no, I can’t play tennis at all. I hate tennis. J I see. Well, so you can run in the gym every day, and our swimming lessons are…

2 Grammar: Can Questions / Short Answers

Mark, 23 years old: can ride a bicycle – can swim, but not very well – can’t run at all – can’t play tennis at all.

A

Focus on the lesson title and the photo of the tractor. Ask sts Can you drive a tractor? and see how many people raise their hands. Tell sts that today’s lesson is about abilities, what they can and can’t do. Point to Mark’s photo and ask: What’s his name? (Mark) How old is he? (sts guess) Is he in good shape? (mime the meaning if they don’t understand “shape”) Does he need to exercise / do sports?

Tell sts it is Mark’s first day at the gym. What’s the name of the gym? (Jimbo’s) Elicit the activities / sports in the pictures. Ask sts: Do you think Mark can run? Can he swim? Highlight the three options: can / can, but not very well / can’t (at all). Sts listen to 4.4 and check the correct options. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask What do you think of Mark now? What does Janet think of him? to see what they think / can express. Listen again if necessary and if time allows, do the AS tasks which focuses on intonation in Can questions.

4.4 Notice the intonation in yes / no questions and Wh questions. J = Janet M = Mark J Hi, Mark. My name is Janet and I’m your instructor. M Oh, hi, Janet. How’s it going? J Good. I need to ask you a few questions. Is that OK? M Sure. J What’s your full name? M Mark Swift. S-W-I-F-T. J Swift, OK. How old are you, Mark? M I’m 23. J OK. Can you run two kilometers? M Run? I don’t think I can walk two kilometers! That’s why I’m here. J OK, great! How about swimming? Can you swim? M Uh, yes, I can, but not very well. I need lessons.

J

B

Read the model dialog with a student. In small groups, sts interview each other with Can questions.

Focus on Common Mistakes with sts. Draw their attention to the fact that the bare infinitive (infinitive without to) must be used after can; and to the inversion of can in Can questions. Drill some Can you… well? questions, e.g. “Can you dance / cook / swim / play volleyball / speak English/ Chinese well?” Read the model dialog and highlight the three answer options for the time being for this initial practice stage (there are more coming in 3A): “Yes, I can.” / “Yes, I can, but not very well.” / “No, I can’t.” Ask a few individual sts questions to make sure they know the range of options. Help them notice rising and falling intonation too. In trios, sts practice. Monitor, check, praise and express interest in their answers too. Classcheck. How many “Yes, I can” answers did each student get?

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL 1 Write Play on the board and

elicit sports which go with it, e.g., basketball / volleyball / soccer, etc. Write Other sports and elicit (go +) swimming / cycling / running. Establish that the question for these is “Can you swim / run / box?”, etc. NOT “Can you go running?” In pairs, sts ask each other Can you + sports questions.

Tip Try to avoid the play / go / do distinction at this stage unless your class want to talk about a lot of activities they will need “do” for (gymnastics / karate / judo / yoga), etc. Then if necessary, put the 3rd column up on the board and explain the difference. Play + ball sports / competitive games against another person (poker, computer games) / musical instruments. Go + -ing activities: fishing, motor racing. Do + recreational activities / non team sports without a ball: karate, ballet, puzzles.

4.2 2 Refer to the 5 box and elicit Can you + activity? questions from sts. This can become a mingle. Ask them (with a show of hands if they don’t manage to ask everybody) what’s the most popular sport in the class—to play and to watch too if there is time. Sts work with different partners and ask Can questions. If they say they can do something difficult, e.g. speak Chinese or sing in harmony, make them prove it, e.g. with the song line. Sts report their partner’s abilities to the whole class.

express what they can do, what they can do very well, not very well or can’t at all. In pairs, sts interview each other with Can you + ability? questions from the “Ten Keys to Success” article. Drill some example questions with the abilities in A before sts perform the activity. Their aim is to find out their partner’s top five from the list (that he or she can do). Classcheck with reported answers.

activities which they can’t yet express in English, like whistle, touch their nose with their tongue, stand on their head, bend their arms / fingers to funny angles, etc.

C Ask sts to circle the five most important abilities in A according to their opinion or profession and try to explain why. Use the example to set this up. Ask sts to report their top five abilities to the whole class. Encourage them to justify their choices.

Focus on the Song line and check if sts know the song / artist. Ask if sts like the song / singer, if they know any of the re-recordings, if they can associate it with anything, etc.

Tip Write on the board all ten answers and check them off

Tip This can become much more fun if sts start to mime

Song line: I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. Song: “I Believe I Can Fly” Artist: R. Kelly (USA) Year: 1996

each time they get a vote to work out easily and visually which are the class top five.

Stronger classes Ask learners if there’s anything else they consider important.

4 Listening 3 Reading A Ask sts: Is it important to speak English these days? What about Spanish? If you’re looking for a job, is it important to know how to use a computer? Sts read and listen to a text about the ten most important abilities for success and play 4.5. Ask: Do you agree that these abilities are important? Sts match the photos and the abilities in A. Paircheck. Classcheck. Drill pronunciation as necessary, either modeling it yourself or having students repeat after the audio.

Tip There are ten abilities, but only six photos to illustrate them because the others are either known or easily recognizable as cognates. Focus on World of English . It addresses the most common suffixes for noun formation. Encourage sts to come up with more examples of words ending in -tion and -sion and make them feel confident when playing / transferring from L1 to L2, especially if their first language is of Latin origin. Knowing simple rules like this can be a great leap forward for sts as it gives them the ability to start to use many difficult words and express more complex ideas that they didn’t realize they “knew” in English. It will give them confidence to express their own identity in English. This should be very motivating too, so try to praise them every time they do so.

A Elicit some Can you + ability? questions from 2B, 2C and 3B, which are likely to be asked in a job interview. Tell sts to write down these questions to use them in C. Say: Listen to a job interview and circle the job Maddie wants. Play 4.6. Paircheck. Classcheck and ask: What questions do you remember from the listening? What does he think of Maddie? What does she think of him? Ask sts to rate their listening comprehension from 0-4. Ask: How much of the audio could you understand? 50%? 80%?

Tip This is a useful activity to get a quick feedback after any listening. It also helps train sts to judge their own individual performance.

4.6 Notice / / and /Ǫ/. J = Joel M = Maddie J Hello. I’m Joel Clinton. I have your curriculum vitae here and I want to ask you some questions. M Sure. J There is no information about your language abilities. How many languages can you speak? M Uh, one. I speak a little Spanish. J ¿Como estas? M What? J Hmpf. Yes, I can see you speak very little Spanish. Anyway, I’m also interested in your athletic abilities. Can you play any sports? M Uh, a little, yes. J What sports can you play?

B

Focus on the symbols and drill the four answers. Sts focus on abilities in A and use the four different symbols to

M I can play volleyball and tennis, but not very well. J Not perfect, but OK. One more question: Can you text fast?

4.2 M Yes, I think so. J How many words a minute can you text? M I don’t know—about 40, I think. But wait! Why are these questions relevant? Isn’t this a job interview for a position as a babysitter? J No, I want a nanny, and I want my son to have the best education! M And how old is your son? J Two! a babysitter

B Sts listen to 4.6 again and complete the sentences with can or can’t. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask sts to rate their listening comprehension again. Ask: Can you understand more when you listen again / for the 2nd time? Allow them to ask any questions about listening and perhaps explain that it is one of the most difficult skills and that it requires a lot of practice, especially from adult learners. Ask: Do you think Maddie gets the job? Do you think she wants it after that interview?

C

Elicit the correct word order for question 1 and write it on the board. Individually, sts order sentences 2-4. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

1. Can you speak any other languages? 2. How many languages can you speak? 3. Can you text fast? 4. What sports can you play? Drill pronunciation of questions 1-4. In pairs, sts role-play a job interview using the questions they came up with in A plus the four here. Ask a pair of sts to act out the dialog for the whole class.

Extra writing Sts can write their answers to C in the form of sentences, or even a short paragraph about their own abilities.

What are you wearing? Lesson Aims: Sts further practice and extend their knowledge of can / can’t by watching a video with Obama and learn to talk about what they are wearing through the context of a fashion show.

Lesson 4.3

Function Talking about other people’s abilities. Listening to / Watching a political speech. Expressing opinion on simple world views. Listening to a fashion show. Describing what people are wearing. Vocabulary: Clothes. What’s he wearing? / He’s wearing… Grammar: Can / Can’t.

Warm-up Books closed. Ask sts to write two sentences with can / can’t about two classmates, based on what they remember, e.g. “Julia can’t drive a tractor.” / “Victor can use Google efficiently.” Sts take turns reading their sentences aloud, and the student mentioned comments whether the information about him / her is true or false.

5 Grammar: Can A

Books open. Sts read World of English about the four meanings of can. Use the photo to teach the noun can. Any surprises? Teach / Review some classroom language, e.g.: “Can I drink some water?” “Can you give me a pencil?” etc. Refer to the sts’ sentences in the Warm-up above (“Julia can’t drive a tractor.”) and ask: Is it possibility, ability or permission? (ability) What about: “Can I drink some water?” Is it possibility, ability or permission? (permission)

Tip Have some fun with can, e.g. a quick tongue twister: “I can drink a can of Coke.” “Candy can’t drink a can of Coke.” etc. Sts read the rules in A and mark true (T) or false (F) individually. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

All three are true. Explain that “No, I cannot” is also a possible short answer instead of the contracted form “No, I can’t.”

B

Sts have to fill in the blanks in 1-6 with can or can’t and elicit the possible answers for sentence 1. Sts do 2-6 on their own. Paircheck. Play 4.7 so sts can check their answers. Play 4.7 again and ask sts to notice the pronunciation of can and can’t. Give examples of full form and weak forms of can. Explain we use the full form can for short answers and for emphasis, but we pronounce can /kn/ (weak form) when it’s unstressed (before a verb or as a question). Always pronounce the negative form can’t / kænt/. Sts listen and repeat the sentences in B.

4.7 Notice the pronunciation of can and can’t. 1 I can’t dance very well, but my wife can. She’s a very good dancer. 2 My mother can cook really well. Her food is delicious.

Language My mother can cook really well. My best friend can’t play rugby. Yes, we can! One person can change the world. The opinion of one person can change a community. She’s wearing black boots. He’s wearing a purple shirt.

3 My best friend can’t play rugby or handball. He doesn’t like team sports. 4 I can skate, but I can’t ski at all. Skiing is too difficult! 5 My friends can play soccer very well. They play every weekend. 6 Can you do any martial arts? No, I can’t. 1. I can’t dance very well, (weak form) but my wife can. (strong form) She’s a very good dancer. 2. My mother can (weak form) cook really well. Her food is delicious. 3. My best friend can’t play rugby or handball. (strong form) He doesn’t like team sports. 4. I can (weak form) skate, but I can’t ski at all. (strong form) Skiing is too difficult! 5. My friends can (weak form) play soccer very well. They play every weekend. 6. Can (weak form) you do any martial arts? No, I can’t. (strong form)

MAKE ITPERSONAL In pairs, sts use the activities in B to

tell each other what they can or can’t do. Use the model in the speech bubble to set this up. Monitor closely for accuracy. Ask some sts to report what their classmates have said.

6 Listening A Write Yes, we can! on the board and ask if sts remember which famous person said that in 2008 (for his first election campaign). Play the video 4.8 and ask sts to check the words they hear in 6A. Paircheck. Play the video / track again. Classcheck. In pairs, sts should summarize Obama’s speech. The original video can be found at www.youtube. com/watch?v=qznAeFsUxXI. 4.8 Notice can = /N Q/ or /NǨQ/. One voice can change a room. And if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city. And if it can change a city, it can change a state. And if it can change a state, it can change a nation. If it can change a nation, it can change the world. Your voice can change the world. Obama thinks we can change the world. Items he mentions: a voice, a room, a city, a state, a nation, the world.

In pairs (or trios / small groups), sts take turns pretending they are Obama and give the speech again. Ask sts to refer to AS 4.8 on p. 159. After all sts have done the activity, they nominate “the best Obama” in their group. Ask a more extroverted student to deliver the speech to the whole class just for fun. Encourage the class to applaud and say “Yes, we can!” Ask: Do you agree with Obama?

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL Read the Song line on top of

p. 43 with sts. Check if they know / like the song / band and perhaps know the history of the song. “Sunday Bloody Sunday” is the first track from U2’s 1983 album, War. The song is about a horrible incident in Derry, Ireland, where British troops shot and killed unarmed protesters and bystanders. Highlight the use of “can’t” and elicit other songs with “can” or “can’t” sts can remember. (e.g. “You and me we can ride on a star. If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world” – Take That, “I know it sounds funny but I just can’t stand the pain” – The Commodores, “Can’t buy me love” – The Beatles, “Just can’t get enough” – The Black Eyed Peas, etc.)

Song line: I can’t believe the news today. I can’t close my eyes and make it go away. Song: “Sunday Bloody Sunday” Band: U2 (UK) Year: 1983

Individually, sts complete sentences 1-4 according to their opinion. Use the example to set this up and ask sts if they agree. In pairs, sts compare answers. Classcheck. How many pairs have exactly the same opinion?

7 Vocabulary: Clothes A

Focus on the four models and elicit the meaning of “fashion show.” Ask: Are you interested in fashion? Draw students’ attention to the models’ names below the photos and to JKK. Who’s he? Is he a model? A journalist? A fashion designer? Don’t confirm but have them listen and check as the first listening is just to get the general gist. Play 4.9. Classcheck. Point to the clothes / outfits in 7A and ask sts Do you like the designs? to see what they thought and which clothes items they were able to pick up.

4.9 Our first model is Justin. He’s wearing a green T-shirt, orange shorts, gray sneakers and beige socks. Ready for the gym or the park! And here comes Sheila. She’s wearing a brown blouse, a golden coat, a pink skirt and blue boots. Lots of colors on Sheila! Next we have Dylan in a blue suit. To add more color, Dylan is wearing a purple shirt and a white tie. Blue shoes finalize the formal look. Formal and modern, that’s Dylan. Finally, here comes Marissa. Marissa is a picture of summer. She’s wearing a yellow dress, and she guarantees glamour wearing a silver belt, black sandals. She’s ready for the night! Now, please welcome the man, the one and only… Jacobelli Klein Karan!

Jacobelli Klein Karan is a fashion designer.

B

Point to Justin in A and ask: What color are his clothes? (Green, orange, etc.). Point to the options in B and help sts match Justin’s clothes to the right description. The colors should guide them and lead them to discover how to name the different items of clothing shown in A. In pairs, sts match numbers 1-16 from A to the items in B. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Drill the pronunciation of some phrases in B and make sts notice that some pairs of “color + clothing item” have the same (S) vowel sound, e.g.: a white tie (/Dǹ/), a golden coat (/Rș/); and in some pairs the vowel sounds are not the same (NS), as in a silver belt (/ǹ/ and /Ǫ/). Play 4.9 so sts can pay attention to the pronunciation of all the pairs of words in B. In pairs, sts decide if the vowel sounds have the same (S) sound or not the same (NS) sound. Classcheck. Practice: in pairs, sts test each other. St B closes the book and st A reads / says five colors from p. 43. St A has to say the piece of clothing (as on the page). E.g.: A: Purple. B: A purple shirt. A: Yellow. B: A yellow dress. A: Blue. B: Blue boots. Sts swap roles. St B opens the book and says five colors. St A closes the book and says the correct clothes item as in the model above. Monitor closely for accuracy and pronunciation. (6) a silver belt

(blue boots, black sandals, orange shorts, etc.) Ask Why? and elicit / remind sts of singular vs. plural concept and the use of indefinite article a / an. Read Common Mistakes and elicit the explanation of mistakes from sts. Also highlight that we use the verb wear for all clothes and accessories we put on, e.g. we wear shorts, glasses, earrings, shoes, etc. and that we say a pair of glasses / shorts / pants / jeans / pajamas / shoes / boots / socks / sneakers / sandals. The key to this task is AS

D MAKE ITPERSONAL Move on to some more personal examples in class and ask: What’s (student’s name) wearing? (He’s wearing…). Give sts 60 seconds to observe each other and memorize what their classmates are wearing. Sts take turns describing a classmate for other sts to guess who he / she is talking about. Do not overcorrect sts while they’re performing the activity—take notes of sts’ mistakes and give them feedback after they finish playing the guessing game.

Tip Ask one student to leave the classroom. Describe his / her clothes making errors in the colors. Sts correct you.

E

MAKE ITPERSONAL Ask sts if they have photos on their cell phones. Sts select one or two photos and describe what the people in them are wearing. Group work. Classcheck by asking some sts to present and describe their photos to the whole class. Alternatively, if sts don’t have any pictures available, ask them to open the book to a random page and describe the clothes worn by someone on the page. Their partner then has to figure out who they are describing.

Extra writing Get sts to write a short description of who the people are and what they are wearing in a photo, either using their own photo or one from .

Is your closet organized? Lesson Aims: Sts further practice clothes by listening to a serious Suri Holmes Cruise fan and learn to use possessive pronouns talking about closets and their contents.

Lesson 4.4

Function Listening to an interview with a blogger. Reading about how people organize / share their closets. Writing your own blog post. Vocabulary: Recycle clothes. Closet. Grammar: Possessive Pronouns. Review of articles.

Warm-up Re-focus on Common Mistakes on p. 43. Then, in pairs, sts play the same game as 7E on p. 43: sts taking turns describing a classmate and the other has to guess who is being described.

Language That’s the rumor. My closet is enormous and hers is not. My clothes are so organized, but his are not! I share my closet with my wife…

G Of course! Jeans are not very chic. She also has fifty-five pairs of pants. J Oh, wow! G She rarely repeats her clothes. J Even her pajamas?

8 Listening Show sts photo(s) of Tom Cruise, his ex-wife Katie Holmes and their daughter Suri Holmes Cruise and make sure all sts know about them. Ask What does he / she do? How many children do they have? Do you like him / her?, etc. Show the photo of a closet and ask: Do you think Suri has a big closet? Does she have a lot of clothes and shoes?

A

Sts open books to p. 44 and read the text about Suri. Ask them How old is she now? to check comprehension of born. Say: Georgia Brown is a serious Suri fan who writes a blog about her clothes. Encourage sts to guess about Suri’s closet, asking: How many pairs of shoes / jeans / pants does she have? Listen and check. Play 4.10. Paircheck. Classcheck. Are you surprised at the numbers? What do you think of her parents attitude toward their daughter? And what do you think of Georgia? Ask: How many pairs of each item do you have? Sts can quickly ask each other in pairs. Any surprises?

4.10 Notice /Gȡ/ and /J/. J = Jim G = Georgia J So, Georgia, why a blog about Suri Holmes Cruise? She’s only a little girl! G Well, Jim, she’s not a regular little girl. She’s the daughter of two big movie stars. And, most important, she loves clothes! J OK. Is it true that her clothes cost 3 million dollars? G That’s what they say. According to some paparazzi, she has fifty different pairs of shoes. J Wow! That’s a lot. G Maybe for you, Jim, but not for me or Suri. J How about jeans? G The numbers are not precise. People say she only has thirty pairs of jeans. J Only?

G This is a big secret, but the rumor is that she has more than a hundred pairs of pajamas–for summer, for winter, to sleep at home, to sleep in hotels… J Do you think she has a future as a model? G No, not a future. A present! She is the most important, most famous, most wonderful child model in the world. J Thanks, Georgia. Ladies and gentlemen, a big thank you to Georgia Brown, author of the blog Suri and Me—A Universe of Clothes. Go online and check it out! 50 pairs of shoes, 55 pairs of pants, 30 pairs of jeans, 100 pairs of pajamas

B Replay 4.10 and ask sts to raise hands whenever they notice that Georgia sounds vague / uncertain. Sts go to AS 4.10 on p. 159 and look for phrases Georgia uses to avoid legal problems. Classcheck with answers on the board. Phrases she uses to avoid being precise are: That’s the rumor; According to some paparazzi…; The numbers are not precise, but people say…; the rumor is that…

9 Reading A Focus on Angie’s blog and her photo. Ask: What’s she wearing? Who is she? What does she do? Ask: Do you read / like blogs? Do you have one? Point to the three avatars and elicit sts’ impressions. Use the example to show what they can say. Read the title question and ask sts: Is it impossible to share closet space? Do you have a closet just for yourself? If not, would you like to? B Play 4.11 and ask sts to follow the text and notice the pronunciation of the words with pink letters. In pairs, sts try to repeat the pronunciation correctly (impossible, husband, organized, ignore, etc.). Classcheck by playing the audio again for them to notice what they got right / wrong. 71

4/10/13 9:59 AM

4.4 4.11 Pay attention to the pronunciation of the words clothes and closet. Angie Is it impossible for two people to share closet space? Victoria Not impossible, but difficult. At home it’s only me and my husband. My clothes are always organized, but his are not! Sometimes we have problems, but I usually just ignore my husband’s part. Kyle I confess: I have more clothes than my wife, so my closet is enormous and hers is not. Our kids are not very organized, but they clean their closets—I never look at theirs! My son’s is full of sports equipment too —balls, rackets, skis, etc. Horrible! Tanya

In my house, we don’t say “mine” or “yours.” Everything is ours. Our closet is small but clean and organized. We share space and clothes. We occasionally have a discussion like this: “Whose sweater is this?” “It’s yours!” “No, it’s yours!” A big advantage of living with your twin sister!

4.12 /Dǹ/ my – mine /ǣ/ your – yours /ǹ/ his – his /ǫU/ her – hers /DX/ our – ours /Ǫ/ their – theirs For further practice, go to Grammar p. 124.

my / mine; his / his; our / ours; your / yours; her / hers; their / theirs. 1. Five end in -s. 2. The final -s is pronounced /z/.

B

Demonstrate Whose…? questions with objects around the classroom. Hold a student’s (pen) and ask the whole class: Whose pen is this? (It’s his / hers.) Drill both the question and possible answers as you elicit / present new dialogs with different objects in class. In pairs, sts complete 5 box with mine, ’s or whose.

C Point to the Forum in A, ask Who lives with her sister? (Tanya) and ask sts to write “Tanya” in sentence number 1. Individually, sts re-read the blog in A and complete sentences 2-6 in C with Victoria, Kyle or Tanya. Paircheck. Classcheck. 1. Tanya lives with her sister. 2. Victoria lives with her husband. 3. Kyle lives with his wife and children. 4. Kyle doesn’t share closet space. 5. Tanya has no problem sharing. 6. Victoria has difficulty sharing. Read World of English with sts and drill the pronunciation of the words so sts can notice similarities between them. Mime the example sentence for them. Ask: Do you know what these are called? (Homophones.) Do you have them in your language too?

10 Grammar: Possessive Pronouns A

Focus on the yellow highlighted sentences in 9A and encourage sts to guess what they refer to, e.g. “his are not” = his clothes are not organized, “hers is not” = her closet is not enormous, etc. In pairs, sts complete the table. Play 4.12 to check answers. Ask questions 1 and 2 to the whole class. Read / Sing the lesson Song line with sts and ask: Do you know this song? (“Sweet Child O’ Mine”.) Do you like it / them? Why did the authors choose this song for this lesson? (Sweet child = Suri, mine = possessive pronoun.) Who sings it? (Guns N’ Roses). Elicit other songs which have Possessive Pronouns, e.g. “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz.

Use whose to ask about possession. Use ’s after a noun to indicate possession. Use possessive pronouns, for example mine, to replace possessive adjective + noun in a sentence.

C

Sts read another post from the forum, but this time the post is full of language mistakes. Individually, sts find and correct five mistakes with possessives and five with articles. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

I live with the my parents, my brother and my sister. I don’t have a closet in the my room, but mine my sister has a closet in her hers, so we share that space. Ours Our closet is organized, but my brothers brother’s is very disorganized. My parents have a big bedroom, so they have two separate closets. My mother’s closet is big and my father father’s is small.

D

MAKE ITPERSONAL Sts complete sentences 1-4 making true sentences about themselves. Then compare in pairs. Are they similar? Is it possible for them to share a closet? Have students report back anything interesting they learned about each other.

Extra writing If time allows, or for homework, get them to write a blog post for the forum, design their own avatar and post them online.

Language All yours! is the perfect place for you. serves low-calorie food. I love to go to salons. Can I try it / them on? What size? Role-playing a shopping for clothes dialog. Can I help you? Vocabulary: Words ending in -ist (hair stylist, manicurist, nutritionist) and -ique (unique, boutique). High, low, the same, ultramodern. Review clothes vocabulary. Grammar: Singular and plural differences in shopping for clothes dialogs (it / them / this / those, etc.). WB Song line: “You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, yeah, you just might find you get what you need.”

Lesson 4.5

Function Reading a magazine ad. Guessing the meaning and pronunciation of new words. Talking about your favorite area in a spa. Listening to people shopping for clothes.

Warm-up Go around the class picking up different items (pens, books, etc.), singular and plural, and ask Whose is this? Whose are these? Is this mine? Are these yours / hers / etc.?, pointing to different sts to elicit positive and negative responses. If time allows, sts can do the same in groups, pooling their possessions on a table and asking / answering together.

Skills: Reading for details A

Begin by asking the lesson title question to gauge sts’ interest in salons. Encourage them to say / express as much as they can. Don’t correct much at this stage.

Tip This initial fluency practice based around answering the title question can always be repeated at the end of a phase / lesson. When sts re-answer the question, hopefully this time they will have more vocabulary and greater accuracy too. This loop input (try – feel the need to learn some language – learn it – try again – feel progress) method can be a very good approach to help sts feel short-term success and find real relevance / personalization in your classes. Sts quickly read the text and answer questions 1-3. Paircheck. Classcheck.

1. A magazine. 2. An ad. 3. The four areas in the center are: Super Salon; The Really Rich restaurant; Be Beautiful boutique; Marvelous Me massage. See if they notice / like alliteration and if it reminds them of anything they’ve seen earlier in the course (the fashion show in lesson 4.3).

C

In small groups, sts look for words in the text which match meanings 1-4. Do number 1 as an example (different / the same, line 4). Classcheck with answers on the board.

1. the same

Sts re-read the text. In pairs, they decide whether sentences 1-5 are T (true) or F (false). Classcheck. Encourage sts to justify / explain false sentences with evidence from the text.

1. T 2. T 3. F (apart from walking around, you can’t exercise) 4. F (it’s for men and women) 5. T

3. available

4. low

D

In pairs, sts try to pronounce the words in the text which have pink letters. Play 4.13 and pause after each comma or period, asking sts to repeat and confirm their guesses. Any pronunciation surprises? Did they find the ad more convincing as a listening or as a reading? Why? Read World of English with sts and ask them to underline all the words ending in -ist and -ique in the All Yours! text. Elicit the pronunciation of each word sts underlined and drill their correct pronunciation.

Tip Write a prompt to a conversation on the board, How often do you see a…?. In pairs, sts interview each other using the professionals from the text (hair stylist, manicurist, therapist, etc.).

E Swap partners. In pairs, sts talk about their favorite area of All Yours! Encourage them to say why. At the end, ask sts to tell the class which area their partners prefer and why. Ask: Do you like salons? Would you like to go to this salon? See if they come up with better answers now than at the beginning of class, congratulate them and reward them with a bit more corrective feedback too, if appropriate.

Tip For fun, sts can easily alliterate each other’s names with an adjective: Big Bertha, Cool Claude, Easy Enrique, etc.

2. ultramodern

in Action: Shopping for clothes A

Explore the cartoon of the man and his dog. Say How old is he? Is he small? Weak?, etc. Do you know people with small dogs like this? Focus on sentences 1-4 and elicit possible guesses as answers for the sentences. Play 4.14. Sts complete the sentences and paircheck. Classcheck. To review possessives, go with answers on the board. How many correct guesses? Can you predict how the dialog ends? Elicit more guesses.

1. The sweater is for Jackson, his dog. 2. He wants it in blue because blue is Jackson’s favorite color. 3. Personal answer, but probably yes, he is very helpful and stays calm in a strange situation, and is good at selling!

G Write some punctuation marks on the board and refer sts to the 5 box on punctuation. Drill pronunciation and, if time allows, sts can cover the words with their hands, look at the symbols and quickly remember the five punctuation

MAKE ITPERSONAL In pairs, sts role-play a complete dialog (shopping for clothes). Give an example first with a strong student. You play the customer. Swap roles and do it again with another student. In pairs, they do the same.

Tip With an odd number of sts, have two customers. With a small group, play the other role yourself but stay in the center of the room so you can hear the other sts at the same time.

Note Write down sts’ mistakes for delayed correction. Ask two sts to act out their dialog for the whole group if time allows. Extra writing Sts can write their own shopping dialog—e.g. shopping for a luxury item at their own favorite shop, then give it to a partner to read / give feedback on.

progress with listening? Help them to see that “success” is not understanding every word—that is usually not possible, realistic or necessary. Getting the idea and understanding from 30-50% is usually enough and a major success for lowlevel learners. Encourage sts to ask any questions they wish about listening / skills / good tips for extra practice, using L1 as necessary. This is all essential learner training, giving students a better idea about language learning, how to set themselves appropriate goals, find success, etc. Remind them that listening is by far the hardest and most important skill, the one they need to practice the most if they want to make good progress with both speaking and pronunciation as well as comprehension.

Explore the photo. What’s he doing? Where is he? Anything special about him?, etc. Sts will hear an interview with Paralympic champion Rob Jones. Allow sts a few seconds to read the questions. Tell sts to number the questions in the order they hear them, 1-4. Play Review Audio 2.2. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

2.2 G = Gale R = Rob G And here with us today we have the Paralympic champion, Rob Jones. Hello, Rob. R Hi, Gale. It’s nice to be here. G So, Rob, what’s your favorite sport? R Well, I love swimming, of course. G And do you like soccer? R Yes, I love to watch my team play. G Cool, and what do you like doing when you’re not swimming or watching your team? R Well, I like to help other kids with disabilities. G That’s great. And a final question: What are you doing these days? R I’m working hard to prepare for the next Paralympic Games. I want to beat my own record. G Nice! Well, thank you for talking to us today, Rob. R Thank you, Gale! (3) What do you like doing when you’re not swimming or watching your team? (2) And do you like soccer? (4) What are you doing these days? (1) So, Rob, what’s your favorite sport?

Swap partners. Assign roles A and B: Rob Jones and the reporter. Tell sts to use the questions from B and answers in C to role-play the interview. Sts swap roles and act out the interview again. At the end, ask two sts to role-play the dialog for the whole class.

F

Point to the photo and blog post. Ask sts What’s his name? Where does he live? Can he speak Spanish? and have sts scan the text to find the answers. Tell sts to read the text and, in pairs, try to guess the missing words. Play Review Audio 2.3 to check answers. Classcheck.

2.3 My name is George Valenzuela and I am twenty-three years old. I live in Santa Monica, California. My parents are originally from Chile, so I can speak Spanish very well. I love sports. I go to the beach every day, and I surf and swim when the weather is good. It’s usually very hot and sunny here! I love it! I’m a very casual guy. I usually wear shorts and a T-shirt during the day, and jeans at night. When it’s cold, I sometimes wear a sweater, but I don’t like it very much. I prefer to wear summer clothes. Write me an e-mail! Maybe we can go to the beach together next summer. My name is George Valenzuela and I am twenty-three years old. I live in Santa Monica, California.

MAKE IT PERSONAL Question time. Sts look at the Language Map on p. 4-7 and take turns asking and answering the lesson titles from units 3 and 4. Monitor closely for accuracy and encourage sts to ask follow-up questions when suitable. At the end, ask them how they felt performing the task: Do you feel comfortable with all of the questions? Which ones are easy? Which ones are difficult?

Tip A nice idea is to print out and cut up all the question titles from units 1-4 and put them in envelopes, for sts in pairs to pull out random questions and ask each other.

5 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 5 are describing places around a city and your own neighborhood, verbs of emotion, everyday activities, different types of vacation and vacation activities as well as following directions. We go from Kentucky to a talent show in Britain, then from snorkeling and sunbathing on a cruise in Mexico to yoga in Costa Rica, then feeding a friend’s pet and back to San Francisco!

Is there a mall on your street? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use there + be to talk about public places. Language A bar, a club, a hotel, etc. Welcome to Louisville… I think the most interesting place is probably the racetrack. Can you go to the movies? Can you watch soccer? Describing (comparing) your hometown and Louisville. In Louisville there’s a baseball stadium, but there’s no baseball stadium in my hometown. Vocabulary: Public places. Use of the most + adjective. Welcome to… Review high numbers. Grammar: There is / are , There’s no / There aren’t any . Review Can / Can’t. Skills: Understand instructions. Give directions.

Lesson 5.1

Function Recognizing common cognates. Listening to a description of a city. Talking about interesting places in a city. Asking / Answering questions about things you can do in a city.

Warm-up Play Messenger Race (also known as Running Dictation). Stick a previously printed dialog (shopping for clothes, p. 47, or the best one from sts’ own writing) on a wall outside the classroom. Number the dialog lines from 1-10. Split the class in groups of four or five sts. Each student goes outside, one at a time, reads and memorizes one sentence from the dialog and comes back to dictate the sentence to his / her group. All sts should copy the sentence. A second student goes outside and does the same. The group who completes the dialog first is the winner. Classcheck with answers on the board. Follow-up: Drill the pronunciation of the dialog lines— sts repeat after you or after 4.16. Sts role-play the dialog in pairs. Finally, ask sts why words in 1A are divided in two columns. (The lexis is split into two groups: 1-8 = common cognates for Latin language speakers and 9-15 = places that are usually different in sts L1 although mall is increasingly becoming “international.”)

1 Vocabulary: Public Places A

Sts read World of English .

Tip Elicit some examples of English words which are similar to words in their own language, e.g. just from the World of English text itself; similar, language, recognize, focus, pronunciation is to keep and differences. Remind sts the whole ethos of building on this foundation of similarity. Books closed presentation. Put some singular and plural items on / under your table. Elicit / present / drill. There is a book / pen / cup / bag on / under the table. There are keys / pencils / papers / shoes on / under the table. Once

they’ve got the idea, point to items to elicit a full sentence from individual sts. For further practice get them to describe the classroom and use the contracted form for “there is:” There’s a door / board / window / light. There are chairs / posters / songs / four walls. Focus on the list of places 1-8. Ask: How do you pronounce them in English? In pairs, sts try to say places 1-8. Play 5.1 to check sts’ guesses. Sts listen and repeat the words. They then name a real example of each place that they know / like / dislike, and give their opinion of it. Use the example in the speech bubble.

Tip You can practice There is / are at any time like this, using the objects in the room or any photo. Ask: Are these words (1-8) similar in your language? How many have the same number of syllables in your language? Which ones do you find difficult to pronounce?

5.1 M = man, W = woman M Nice places near here? Well, there’s a bar, and a club and a hotel. W And there’s a nice museum, a park and there’s a very good restaurant. M And a small stadium, oh and an old theater.

B Focus on the photos in the Louisville, Kentucky, brochure on p. 50 and elicit the names of place a (a mall). Show sts they should match it to number 11 on the list. Sts match the other photos to words 9-15. Paircheck. Play 5.2 to check answers. Replay it again and sts repeat after the model.

5.1 Some sts may not like or even know the name of a library (10), a racetrack (13), a river (14) and a swimming pool (15). In this case, these items do not need to be named.

5.2 A OK. Let’s check. B Right. A is a mall, the Fourth Street Mall, B is a library, C is a movie theater, D is a racetrack, E is a swimming pool, F is a bookstore, and G is a river. A Yes! 9. f

C Write KFC on the board and see how much sts know about it. Ask: What’s this? (A restaurant.) What type of food do they sell? (Fried chicken.) Do you like it / eat it often? How do you pronounce KFC in English? What does KFC stand for? (Kentucky Fried Chicken.) What do you know about Kentucky? What’s the capital / largest city? Cultural note Originally a part of Virginia, in 1792 Kentucky was the 15th state to join the Union. Kentucky is the 37th most extensive and the 26th most populous of the 50 states in the United States. Its capital is Frankfort, but its largest city is Louisville.

And for readers, there’s a fantastic public library with branches all over town. Kentucky is the home of KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), but we don’t only eat fried chicken! There are restaurants of all kinds here. There aren’t any public swimming pools in downtown Louisville, but there are six pools in the city, so everything is easy. And of course there are bars, clubs and four multiscreen movie theaters, and seven world-class hotels, just in the downtown area. So come to Louisville—there are no worries here, just relaxation and fun.

All places in A are mentioned except 9 (a bookstore).

Weaker classes If sts find a text of this length a little overwhelming, use the AS for a reassuring listen and read.

2 Grammar: There is / are A

Ask the lesson title and get sts to raise their hands if

there is a mall on their street. Elicit from or teach the sts who raised hands the answer “Yes, there is,” and the others “No there isn’t.”

Sts listen to an ad for Louisville and check the places in A (1-15) in the order that they are mentioned in the audio. Play 5.3. Paircheck. Classcheck. Listen again to confirm. Ask Which do you think is the most interesting place? and use a show of hands, asking individual sts to say why if they can. Focus on the second World of English . Although there are difficulties for sts with shorter adjectives (“the most big”) they are usually understandable, even “the most good.” Sts read the text and hopefully get the message that grammar is often much easier than they think, especially for Latin language speakers.

Focus on Common Mistakes . This is particularly difficult for Portuguese speakers, which is why there are so many errors here. Highlight that the first one is the correct form for a

statement, the second for a

statement, the third

for a . Focus on the Grammar box and get sts to use each of the seven phrases there to elicit examples of there is / are sentences, using places in their own town / neighborhood, etc. Sts complete sentences 1-4 with the words a, any, are or no. Paircheck. Listen to the extracts in

5.4 to classcheck.

5.4

Tip If you wish to take this further, give sts some longer adjectives (so they don’t make too many mistakes) so they can enjoy making examples: typical, beautiful, popular, important, common. What’s the most typical food? / Who’s the most beautiful person in our country?

5.3 Notice the word stress. Welcome to Louisville, the largest city in Kentucky! It’s a great place to visit. Situated on the Ohio river with a population of about 750,000, it’s the City of Parks. There are 122 parks in the city. Downtown there are seven museums, and three theaters, plus the Louisville Ballet, Orchestra and Opera. Louisville is home to the famous Kentucky Derby horse race, sometimes called the Greatest Two Minutes in Sports! There’s a famous racetrack and a museum at Churchill Downs. There’s also a football and a baseball stadium in the city. If you like shopping, there are three enormous shopping malls to choose from.

There are seven museums downtown. There’s a famous racetrack at Churchill Downs. There aren’t any swimming pools in downtown Louisville. There are no worries here.

1. There are seven museums downtown. 2. There’s a famous racetrack at Churchill Downs. 3. There aren’t any swimming pools in downtown Louisville. 4. There are no worries here. In pairs, sts study sentences 1-4 in 2A. Then, study the Grammar box and read Common Mistakes . Elicit some examples of there is / are sentences, using places from the lesson and talking about their own neighborhood.

B

Read the lesson Song line, elicit the melody and check

if they remember / like the song / artists. Ask: What do you know about / think of New York city? Do you think the song line is true? Why? What can / can’t you do there?

5.1 Song line: There’s nothing you can’t do now you’re in New York. Song: “Empire State of Mind” (New York) Artist: Jay-Z and Alicia Keys (USA) Year: 2009

Continuing the theme of what you can / can’t do in cities, ? questions with the sts ask and answer Can you expressions suggested in B. Use the example in the speech bubble to model it.

Tip Ask a few individual sts questions about New York or another city first to set this up, so the questions they ask and answer in pairs about Louisville are fresher. St A asks st B four of the questions, then they swap roles. Monitor and praise / correct there is / are. When they finish, extend the speaking activity by having them ask the same questions about their own town / neighborhood. Classcheck.

With a stronger class, encourage them to experiment with locally important places and activities: Can you swim in a lake / river, go shopping in a good street market, eat (a local food), etc.

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL In small groups, sts compare Louisville to their hometown with There is / are sentences. Use the example to set this up. Ask sts to find four differences between the two cities. Round off the activity by asking some sts to report and compare their answers.

Extra writing Sts can describe the differences between Louisville and their city in a written paragraph.

Do you like watching TV? Lesson 5.2

Lesson Aims: Sts read another brochure about a city, extend their ability to use there + be to talk / ask about a town / neighborhood and learn some chores / free time activities + love / like / mind / hate + -ing. Function Reading a brochure about a city. Asking / Answering questions about a town.

Language There are two museums and a great public library. Is there a mall in Markville? Are there any nice hotels? Talking / Writing (a brochure) about your neighborhood. There’s a great theater and two shopping malls. Reading / Listening about free time activities. Sandy loves playing video games and going out with her friends. Talking about free time activities you like / dislike. I don’t mind cooking but I love eating out. Vocabulary: Free time activities (clean, cook, eat out, etc.), weird, mind (v), fun, I’m joking, sad, surprised. Review places in a town / city. ?, too vs. also. Review: There’s no / There aren’t any. Grammar: Is there a / an / Are there any

Warm-up Recycle giving opinions and object pronouns. Draw five columns with headings on the board, as shown below. Ask sts to write one example under each category. In small groups, sts ask each other “What do you think of (Shakira)?” and answer with “I like (her). I think (she’s) a great singer.” Monitor and listen to / learn about their individual tastes and preferences in order to help you personalize more in the future. Get class feedback on any interesting disagreements. An artist / type of music

A soccer player / an athlete / a team

A TV program / film

A country / city

A famous local person

Language note If they ask / talk about soccer teams the pronoun is them: “What do you think of (Chelsea)?” “I hate them.”

3 Reading A Books closed. Ask Do you remember Louisville (from the previous lesson)? What places can you see / visit there? to see how much sts remember. Books open. Sts read about a different town, Markville. Say: Don’t look at the pictures now, just at the text. Quickly read and answer this question: How many different places are mentioned in the text? Sts read and find the number of places and tell you / name them (two museums, a library, a mall, hotels, etc.). Sts re-read and complete the text with a, an, is, are or no. Paircheck. Play 5.5 to check sts’ answers and try to remember the pronunciation of the words with pink letters. Write on the board any problematical answers and drill pronunciation as necessary.

Tip Visually beat the stress when you drill words like pe-des-tri-an, to help sts “see” and “feel” them. Clearly show there are four beats (syllables), raising your hand high on the stressed syllable. Try to do so from your right shoulder to your left shoulder so sts “read” the word across your body.

Markville has two hotels: there’s an old traditional hotel and there is a new modern one, so you can choose where you stay. There are no clubs, but there is a bar inside one of the hotels. For food lovers, there are two delicious restaurants, one French, the other Mexican, and an interesting café too. We’re going green too! Downtown is only for pedestrians, so there are no cars to ruin the peace. See you soon! are

B Focus on the two pictures in 1A. Elicit what places sts can see in each of them. In pairs, sts re-read the text in A and decide which picture, 1 or 2, shows Markville. Classcheck as in the example. Ask: Would you like to visit Markville? Why (not)? What are two good things and two bad things about Markville? to get some feedback on what they are thinking about the place and help them prepare for the next activity. Picture 1 is Markville.

C

To review Is / Are there, in pairs, sts find four differences between pictures 1 and 2 in A. Make st A turn her / his back to st B so she / he can’t see the picture. Set this up by example, turning your back to the class and asking Is there a park in picture 1? And is there a park in picture 2? When they’ve found four differences they should swap roles and try to find some more. By now, st A should know the map quite well and be able to ask about specific shop names: “Is there a toy / jewellery store, etc. in picture 1?” Help with form and pronunciation as necessary.

D MAKE ITPERSONAL In pairs, sts talk about their own neighborhood. Model this with a town / neighborhood you know well and they don’t (your or your grandparent’s town / neighborhood), and tell them about it / let them ask questions. With a weaker class, prompt the sentences on the board. Write There’s a / an… / There are… / There are no…. In small groups sts describe a place they know well.

5.5 Come to Markville! It’s a great place to live. There are two museums and a great public library. There’s also a movie theater, so you can see a movie if you want. There’s a mall, and there are lots of cool shops and a historical bank.

English ID TCH 21x29.3 Int.indd 81

Tip Either split the sts from the same place into groups so they enjoy their local pride together, or make them split into different groups so the communication between people from different places becomes more genuine / informative. You know your groups best!

4/10/13 9:59 AM

5.2 Either in class, if you have time, or for homework, refer sts to the Writing section, p. 150, so they write a brochure about their town / neighborhood. If you set it for homework, give them a word count of 100-120 words, and some guidance criteria: who’s their audience, how many paragraphs, how to check it, etc.

Sandy loves playing video games (1) and going out with her friends (2). She likes shopping (3), eating out (4) and going online (5). She doesn’t mind going to work (6) or cooking (7). She doesn’t like going to the gym (8) or watching TV (9). She hates cleaning the house (10).

Tip The website www.glogster.com is great for making a brochure.

Tip If they misorder them within the same category, tell them not to worry. The only real way of knowing is her intonation.

consolidate meaning. Again, the idea of miming as they repeat is to add meaning, their own feelings / identity and memorability to what is otherwise just mechanical repetition. For further practice, you or they can lead the class in “repeat if it’s true mode” (as in 1B on p. 39). One says a phrase (“I hate cooking”) and the class repeats it only if they share that feeling.

A Focus on photos a-g and elicit vocabulary / activities sts are likely to already know, e.g. b (cooking), c (shopping for clothes), e (playing video games), g (using a computer, going online). Point to Sandy’s list of activities and ask sts to match seven of them to photos a-g. Paircheck. Classcheck. (f) cleaning the house (b) cooking (d) eating out (g) going online (a) going out with friends (e) playing video games (c) shopping Ask sts to listen and read the introduction to her blog ( 5.6). Focus on Cyber English and the five emoticons. Mime and drill the phrases, with lots of appropriate noises and exaggerated intonation. Ask Do you use emoticons a lot (in texts / e-mails / tweets)? Which ones do / don’t you use? for sts to tell you the ones they (don’t) use in English.

B

In pairs, sts decide which activities Sandy prefers and order them 1-10. Highlight the clues Sandy has given in the form of emoticons, and that the first one is given. Sts guess the order, 1-10, according to the emoticons. Encourage them to say the phrase for each emoticon using the phrases from Cyber English .

Tip Where the emoticons are the same, tell them to guess according to their own preferences. Focus on the line under the ten options, Click here to hear my answer, and play 5.7, as if you are clicking to hear her, for sts to check answers. She is saying them 1-10, so sts need to number them 1-10 in the exact order she says them. Ask: Did anybody get all ten correct? Now focus on (and perhaps replay) her final question and elicit answers. Do they think she is weird?

5.7 Notice /ǹ/ and /Dǹ/. Notice the position of also and too. Well, I love playing video games. It’s my favorite thing in the world. I also love going out with my friends. I like to shop and I like to eat out. And, um, I like going online too. And I don’t mind going to work. I also don’t mind cooking—sometimes it’s fun, but I don’t like going to the gym very much. I don’t like watching TV either, but the one thing I really hate is cleaning. I hate cleaning the house! What about you? Are you similar? Or am I weird?

5.8 1 I love playing video games! 2 I also love going out with my friends! 3 I like to shop! 4 5 6 7 8 9

I like to eat out too! I like going online too! I don’t mind going to work. I don’t mind cooking. I don’t like going to the gym. I don’t like watching TV.

10 I hate cleaning the house!

D MAKE ITPERSONAL Sts write two lists, their likes and dislikes, containing the free time activities from 4A. Focus on the model on the page and highlight too and either in the second speech bubble. Ask: When do we say “either”? And “too”? What about “also”? With a stronger class, let the sts try to give examples to explain. With other classes, tell them to turn to the AS and highlight four examples of these words. Then refer them to the 5 box to read the rules. Give some quick practice, based on the books closed presentation below.

Tip For a books closed presentation, bring in two flashcards of people and two of chocolate and spinach and present this: Rod likes chocolate. Sue likes chocolate too. Or Sue also likes chocolate. Rod doesn’t like spinach. Sue doesn’t like spinach either. Elicit / Teach these rules of use and position: Too and also are used in sentences to “agree.” Either is used in sentences to “agree.” Too and either come at the end of a clause. Also comes after the pronoun. Invent some simple quick drills by giving different likes and dislikes yourself for sts to respond to. I like / don’t like / hate .

5.2 Language note Also comes after verb be (I’m also a teacher) and auxiliary / have / modals (I’ve also been a teacher, I can also teach), but to keep it simple we didn’t mention these here. Highlight these positions only when they come up later. Following the model on the page, in pairs, sts tell each other about what they like or don’t like doing and find two things in common. Listen and monitor. If you hear lots of problems, intervene and get them to look at Common Mistakes before continuing. Classcheck two things they have in common from each pair. To finish, ask: Do any of you think your partner is weird? Do you know any really weird person?

5 Grammar: Love / Like / Not mind / Hate + Verb + -ing

A In pairs, sts study Common Mistakes . Emphasize how common verb + -ing is in English (as subject, after verbs of emotion, in continuous verb forms), compared with Latin languages. Give / Elicit other wrong examples yourself for sts to correct you (I love to eating out. Eat out is great.). The funnier the better! Sts complete the rules with to + infinitive and / or verb + -ing. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Note American English uses both verb forms with no difference. British English tends to use the gerund when “like” means “enjoy.” It is possible to use to + infinitive in a subject position, however this is not very common and is usually used in dictionaries, instructional material and quotes. A subject infinitive is usually followed by verb be or a stative verb.

Song line: I don’t mind spending everyday out on your corner in the pouring rain. Song: “She Will Be Loved” Band: Maroon 5 (USA) Year: 2004

Write on the board number 1. Prompt the first words, I don’t…, and elicit the rest of the sentence (… like watching soccer). Sts order the words to complete 2-5. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. In pairs, sts say the sentences, changing them to make true statements about themselves and their family / friends. Highlight the speech bubble example. Classcheck by asking sts to report their partner’s answers. Put some more locally relevant jumbled sentences on the board to personalize this further, e.g.: 6 hate / watching / I / (local soccer team) / lose 7 to love / eat / (bad local restaurant) 8 mind / sun / the / in / walking / midday / don’t / I.

Tip As with any exercise like this, fast finishers can make another jumbled sentence for a partner to order, or you can set this as written homework. Finally, explore the lesson title question. Write it on the board + some other prompts, and let them talk freely in pairs. How often? Favorite programs / channels / actors. Least favorite? Every day? How many TVs / at home? How many channels / have? Who watches TV most / least?

1. I don’t like watching soccer. 2. My best friend loves to go to the movies. 3. I don’t mind going shopping. 4. My parents love playing video games. 5. Cycling is my favorite way to exercise. / My favorite way to exercise is cycling.

1. to + infinitive or verb + -ing 2. verb + -ing 3. verb + -ing

B

Read the lesson Song line with the sts and check if they know / like the song / band. Do they know the chorus? What songs of this band can they sing? Ask: What’s the link to the lesson? (don’t mind + gerund).

What do you like doing on vacation? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to talk about vacation and free time activities.

Lesson 5.3

Function Language Understanding stress / intonation in short sentences. I hate doing the laundry. Reading an ad for a TV program. There are versions of it in more than 30 countries. Listening to / Watching part of a TV talent show. I would like to be a singer and a diva. Introducing yourself for a talent show. Good evening everybody, I’m… Talking about vacation activities you like / dislike. I like sightseeing. Vocabulary: House chores (cleaning, tidying, etc.) Vacation activities. Review free time activities. Grammar: Like as a preposition and a verb, prefer + -ing. Review: There is / are. Personal information (My name’s, I’m… years old and I’m from…) I can / can’t. / love / like / not mind / hate + -ing.

Warm-up Start off the lesson by reviewing free time activities. Put these questions on the board as they come in. In pairs, sts ask each other What do you like doing / like to do in your free time / during the week / on weekends?. Monitor and provide sts with some vocabulary / a few activities they enjoy doing but haven’t learned how to say in English yet. Classcheck any interesting findings either that you hear or that they want to say.

Tip Teaching a few items sts really want to express is very motivating. But teaching too many can be overwhelming, so try to strike a balance, introduce three or four phrases and move briskly on.

6 Pronunciation A

Books open. Point to photos a-d and ask What do photos

a-d make you think of? What are they doing? (but don’t teach the new phrases yet) Do you like domestic activities? to get an initial reaction. Play

5.9 and ask sts to complete

sentences 1-4 with the missing words. Paircheck and get sts to match the sentences and photos a-d. Classcheck with answers on the board. Point to photos a-d again and elicit the names of each household chore. Drill pronunciation.

Tip Have sts in pairs quickly cover sentences 1-4 and remember what each person said for the four photos. Don’t give feedback but go straight into 6B. 5.9 1 2 3 4

I don’t mind cleaning the bathroom. I love tidying my room. I hate doing the laundry. I like washing the dishes.

a. I don’t mind cleaning the bathroom. b. I hate doing the laundry. c. I like washing the dishes. d. I love tidying my room.

B

Read the 5 box with sts emphasizing verbally and visually

the word emphasis. If necessary, give an example of words with / without meaning, by writing am, the, at on one side of the board and cook, quickly, beautiful on the other, and ask: Which

can you imagine? Play 5.9 again and ask them to notice and underline the two most stressed words in each sentence (1-4 in 6A). Number 1 has been done as an example. Paircheck. Classcheck. Replay the track and have sts repeat the sentences.

2. I love tidying the room. 3. I hate doing the laundry. 4. I like washing the dishes.

C Ask sts about the house chores in A (Do you like cleaning the bathroom / tyding up the room, etc.?) and ask them to order the chores according to their preferences. Sts rewrite sentences 1-4 from 6A, making true sentences, e.g. “I hate cleaning the bathroom.” “I don’t mind washing the dishes.” Check their answers in D ensuring they stress the words with more meaning. D

In pairs, sts share their preferences and say the sentences they wrote in C. Classcheck.

E

Ask the whole class: Which house chore do you hate the most? Which do you think is the most unpopular? Use a show of hands to vote. Ask: How many hours per week do you and your children / brothers and sisters spend on chores? Then play 5.10 and check if these American statistics match the group’s preferences / weekly hours on chores. Ask: Any surprises? Do you agree?

5.10 Notice the /Ǩ/s. Listen to this! Statistics show that cleaning the bathroom is at the top of the list of chores that people hate the most. And, on average, parents report spending 8.6 hours at home each week doing chores. But children say they spend only 4.9 hours on chores. Lucky children! Source:www.jelmar.com/chorewars/cleaningstudy.htm

5.3 Sts read the ad for the show and, in pairs, guess some information about the girl in the photo by answering questions 1-3. Play 5.11 for sts to listen and check. Sts can also watch the video on the portal to check their answers. Answer key in 7B.

B Sts listen to 5.12 or watch the video on Portal to check their answers. Classcheck. Ask: Do you know any girls like her? / Do you know / like Beyoncé / the Alicia Keys’ song she’s going to sing? Tip To best answer the last question of the rubric, show the original video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7_k5tUeoUc. There you can see her sing too—like a bird! 5.12 Notice main sentence stress on content words and at the end of phrases. N = Natalie J = judge N I’m Natalie and I’m ten years old and I love to sing. I’ve been singing ever since I was four. I sing at school, I sing at home, I sometimes sing when I’m eating my dinner! I would like to be a singer and a diva and I definitely want to be like Beyoncé.

C Point to the names Emily and Josh in the chart in 8B and tell sts they will listen to Emily and Josh talk about activities they like. Divide the class in two groups. Group A checks off Emily’s activities while they listen. Group B checks off Josh’s activities. Play 5.14. Sts paircheck their answers within their groups, A or B. Listen again to confirm / catch anything they missed. For extra practice, pair-up sts A and B (one student from each group). In pairs, sts exchange information about Emily and Josh to complete the chart in 8B. St A asks: “Does Josh like camping / cooking / dancing?” and st B asks about Emily. Play 5.14 again so sts can check their answers.

5.15 Notice the pronunciation of the ing form. J = Josh

E = Emily

J Let’s go on vacation together, Emily. What do you like doing on vacation?

J Hello, darling.

E Well, I love sunbathing and swimming. How about you?

N Hello.

J Hmm, well, I don’t really like swimming or sunbathing, but I love snorkeling and kayaking. I sometimes like to take a class or to visit the museums to discover more about where I am.

J What’s your name and how old are you? N My name is Natalie and I’m ten years old. J And what are you doing today? N Well, I’m going to sing a song called “No one” from Alicia Keys.

E Do you? I prefer reading novels and eating out and drinking wine and dancing, nothing cultural for me.

J OK, yeah—I know that one. Good luck, darling.

J What about sightseeing?

1. Natalie is ten years old. 2. She loves to sing. 3. She sings at school, at home and when she is eating her dinner!

J And camping? Do you like camping?

E I like sightseeing, but not too much. E Not really. I hate shopping and cooking when I’m on vacation. I just want to relax.

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL Ask sts: Do you have any hobbies / talents? Do you like singing / dancing / playing a musical instrument?

J Those are the things I love doing on vacation! Hmm…

Tip Remember to show any talents or tricks you know / have

Emily likes sunbathing, swimming, reading novels, eating out, drinking wine, dancing and sightseeing.

yourself as a way to encourage them. Sts pretend they are taking part in a talent show and introduce themselves to the whole class.

8 Vocabulary: Vacation A

Ask When I say vacation, what do you think of? to see what they can come up with.

Focus on the list of vacation activities. Conduct this exercise as a meaningful drill. Play 5.13 and have sts repeat each activity (1-8), but say them in I like / I don’t like… sentences. The first eight aren’t illustrated as they are either already known or cognates.

B Use pictures a-f to present new vocabulary / activities. Sts match photos to activities 9-14. Paircheck. Play 5.14 to check answers. Play 5.14 again and have sts repeat the activities after the model. 5.14 My favorite vacation activities are: a. kayaking; b. snorkeling; c. taking a class; d. sunbathing; e. reading novels; f. sightseeing.

Josh likes snorkeling, kayaking, taking a class, visiting museums, camping, shopping and cooking.

D MAKE ITPERSONAL Individually, sts check off activities they like in the “You” column in the table in 8B, next to Josh and Emily. In small groups, sts compare preferences and decide whether they would prefer to go on vacation with Josh or Emily, or with a classmate. Classcheck to see their preferences with a show of hands and encourage open class feedback as they attempt to explain why. Tip For additional practice sts can each imitate 5.14, but racing to say their favorite vacation activities in a maximum of ten seconds. This could be done for homework, where they record themselves on a site like www.vocaroo.com, then send the recordings to you to be played the following class.

Do you have a cat? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use enjoy + verb + -ing and talk further about vacation preferences. They also learn to use imperatives and object pronouns through the context of giving instructions to a house-sitter. Language Don’t miss our guided tours… I prefer the yoga retreat because I enjoy relaxing on vacation. Feed the fish in the morning. Don’t forget to feed the cat. Giving instructions to a house-sitter. Please water the plants, pick up the mail… Vocabulary: Review vacation activities. Vacation words (sunset, massage, hammock.) Enjoy + -ing.

Review word order: adjective before noun.

Lesson 5.4

Function Reading two ads for vacations. Talking about vacation preferences. Listening to an answering machine message for a house-sitter.

Warm-up Ask a few sts: Where do you usually go on vacation? Then write: What do you usually do? Where do you usually go? on the board for them to ask and answer in pairs. Monitor, take feedback from a few pairs and check if there are similar answers. You can also ask sts Who generally prefers to go to a calm place / to a busy place? with a show of hands.

9 Reading A

Focus on the two ads and their titles. Sts quickly read (scan) them and answer questions 1-3. Paircheck. Classcheck.

Tip These texts are quite long, with several new words, so you might want to use the listen and read option provided by the optional 5.16 either here or at stages B or C of the activity, or as a final listen and enjoy activity at the end of exercise 9. 1. Yoga Rica is in Costa Rica, Oceans of Peace is in Mexico. 2. Yoga Rica is a retreat, Oceans of Peace is a cruise. 3. Both destinations are open all year.

B

Elicit what sts can see in photos 1-8. Draw sts’ attention to some cognates, such as pyramids, vegetarian, herbal, professionals, options, spectacular, cultural, festivals, massage, relax, meditate, volcano, mountains. In pairs, sts match the words in bold from the ads to photos 1-8. Play 5.17 to check and repeat the phrases.

Tip Instead of just repeating after the audio, drill by asking a variety of questions to make sts say different phrases each time: Which of the items / phrases do you like best / sound the nicest in English / is the quietest / best for your health / is the smallest / would you like to enjoy right now / do you have in your country?

10 Listening A

Ask the lesson title question Do you have a cat? A dog? A hamster? A snake? to find out what pets they have and whether they are into pets. Who has the most animals at home? Point to the woman in the large picture in A and ask What’s she doing? (She’s taking care of / cleaning the house.) Say The house owners are on vacation and she is taking care of the place. She’s a house-sitter. Refer to babysitter to convey meaning. Sts read the eight verb phrases and match them to objects a-g in the photo. Play 5.18 to check answers. Classcheck. Play the track again and have sts repeat the phrases.

5.17 Notice spelling and stress.

In pairs, sts test each other and take turns miming and guessing the phrases in A.

a yoga retreat a wonderful waterfall a beautiful beach a cup of herbal tea

Tip Do not go into the grammar of phrasal verbs at this stage, just stick to teaching them as chunks. These are introduced in levels 2 and 3.

Don’t let the cat out! Pick up the mail and put it on the table. Feed the dog. Feed the cat. Give the cat some water. Take the dog for a walk. Water the plants. Open the windows, and close them when you leave.

Read Common Mistakes with the sts. Explain animals are referred to as “it” in English, but domesticated animals (pets) are usually refered to as he / she / him / her.

1. Open the windows and close them again every day (them refers to the windows.) 2. Pick up the mail and put it on the table (it refers to the mail.) 3. Feed Fish in the morning and evening (don’t give her too much food) (her refers to the cat.) 4. Don’t forget to give her some water (don’t let her out) (her refers to the cat.) 5.

D Read the lesson Song line with the sts and check if they know / like the song / artist / can sing it, etc. Explain “Don’t feel” in this case is not an Imperative, but an omission of the subject “I” (don’t feel.) Ask: What’s the link to the lesson? (leaving a message on the phone, pick up, don’t.) Song line:

5.19 Notice the pronunciation of object pronouns in speech. Hi, Lori! Thanks for house-sitting for us during our vacation. Hope you don’t have any problems. Just a few things to remember. Uh, when you come in, please pick up the mail and put it on the table. Um, yeah, please open the windows every day and close them again when you leave—oh, and water the plants, please, every day. Feed Fish (that’s the cat!) in the morning and evening, but please don’t give her more than two plates a day. She’s enormous! Oh, and don’t forget to give her some water and, please, don’t let her out. Please, feed Chips—the dog—too and take him for a walk in the morning and afternoon, but please, please, don’t take him near the road because he’s very nervous. Call me if you have any questions.

Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone. ’Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything. Song: “The Lazy Song” Artist: Bruno Mars (USA) Year: 2011

Pairwork. Say: Now think about your home. Imagine you’re going on vacation and your classmate will house-sit for you. Write him / her a list of instructions. Ask sts to refer to AS 5.19 on p. 160 for help. If technology is available, have sts record their notes, e.g. sts might record their messages online via www.croak.it or www.vocaroo.com and send the link via e-mail to you and the classmate(s). These two sites are both free. Finish the lesson with Please don’t forget to do your homework!

Tip For extra practice at any time, have sts listen to you and practice simple instructions like these: Pick up your pen. Put it on your book. Now pick up your book and pen and give them to your partner, etc. Sts can then do the same thing in pairs or groups.

What’s a staycation? / Do you live near here? Lesson Aims: Sts get further practice in understanding instructions and compare two more types of vacations. They also learn to understand and give simple directions in San Francisco. Language ? What’s the opposite of A staycation is a vacation that you spend home! In my opinion, it can be boring. Cross at the stoplight. Leave the school and turn left. ? How do I get to Vocabulary: Newly invented words (staycation, couchsurfing.) Adjectives (boring, relaxing, exciting, interesting, rude, polite, safe, dangerous, tidy, messy.) Directions: turn left / right, cross at the stoplight, go straight, a corner, a stop sign. Review vacation activities, places around town, prepositions of place and movement. Grammar: -ing adjectives. Review Imperatives ( & ). WB Song line: “Do you know the way to San Jose?”

Lesson 5.5

Function Asking about opposites. Reading about two more types of vacations. Talking about / Comparing vacations. Listening to and asking for directions.

Warm-up Review the alphabet and adjectives of opinion. Either ? with the words: boring, play Hangman or a How do you spell fun, expensive, interesting, cheap, relaxing, safe and dangerous.

Tell sts that couchsurfing also includes the possibility of a couchsurfer asking for local advice and going out with another couchsurfer for a meal or a tour in a town without necessarily staying at his / her house. For further information, sts can go to www.couchsurfing.org.

Skills: Understanding instructions A

Elicit vocabulary from pairs of pictures a-d. Sts match pairs of opposites 1-4 to pairs of pictures a-d. Paircheck. Play 5.20 to check answers.

In pairs, sts test each other with the question “What is the opposite of (safe)?”

Tip If time allows, with a stronger class, compare adjectives ending in -ing with -ed adjectives as in “I’m excited / tired / bored,” as opposed to “It’s exciting / tiring / boring.” This is taught in 2 Unit 9.

boring – fun / interesting expensive – cheap safe – dangerous tidy – messy

Ask Where are you going for your next vacation? to see what their plans are. Ask the lesson title question What’s a staycation? to see what they can come up with. Do the same with What’s couchsurfing? but don’t give them the answers yet if they don’t know. Focus on the definitions and tell them to read the two texts to find which is which. Play 5.21 so sts can listen and read the texts. Sts match texts 1 and 2 to the best description. Ask: Have any of you tried either of these vacations?

Tip After any (listening and) reading activity like this, it can be a very good idea to get sts to cover the text and in pairs tell each other what they can remember from it. This gives you instant feedback on what they’ve understood, where pronunciation problems lie, etc.

Play 5.22 and pause after each sentence. Sts say staycation or couchsurfing for each sentence they hear. Check answers one by one as sts say their guesses. Read World of English with the sts and refer to the terms “couchsurfing” and “staycation” in the texts. Ask Would you find these words in a dictionary? (Probably not, except in more recent ones.) In order to make the task more dynamic, some dictionaries can be brought to class or even accessed online, if technology is available, just to check if these two words can or cannot be found. The list of words mentioned in World of English can be expanded if you think it is relevant. Tell sts that language is “alive” and words are often included and excluded in every new edition of a paper dictionary. In case of online dictionaries, new words are uploaded every time there is an update of the dictionary.

and say if they would like to spend their vacations like that. Encourage them to use the adjectives in A. Put some more questions on the board to push them to say as much as they can. Where would you most like to couchsurf? Would you like to be a couchsurfer? Is a staycation really a vacation?

in Action: Giving directions A

Ask the title question Do you live near here? Where exactly? How do I get there? to see what the class can come up with. Hopefully, they will feel the need to learn to give directions! Maybe leave the question on the board until the end of the lesson when they will have learned to answer it properly.

In pairs, sts match the signs and images 1-6 to the phrases in A. Play 5.23 to check answers. Play it again and have sts repeat and mime all the phrases. In pairs, sts mime signs and phrases for their partners to guess and say.

Books closed. Sts will hear a tourist in San Francisco asking for information in the street. Ask How many people does he speak to? Play 5.24. Classcheck (six different people.)

Books open. Sts read the four questions. Play

5.24 again and sts number the questions in the order they hear them. Paircheck. Classcheck.

5.24 Notice /L/ and /Hǹ/ sounds. T = tourist 1 T Excuse me. A Hi. How are you doing? T Oh, hi, good, thanks, uh, where’s the mall? A It’s in front of you, on Market Street. Cross here at the stoplight. T Thanks. A No problem. Have a nice day! 2 T Excuse me.

Read World of English and elicit more signs / instructions which can be easily mimed when giving or asking for directions. Emphasize the importance of miming, gesturing, making noises, even drawing as vital forms of communication and increasing “expressivity,” plus of course they are great ways to avoid having to translate all the time, which is often a big issue in monolingual classes. For example, when sts ask you “How do you say in English?” try to get them to show you the words / phrases they want before providing them with a translation. Besides you can’t give directions without moving your hands!

Cultural note Body language is non-verbal communication: body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously. There is some debate over how important it is: James Borg states that human communication consists of 93% body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves. However, Albert Mehrabian, the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics, says this is a misunderstanding of the findings. Others assert that “Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior.” Whatever the proportion may be, it is certainly high and a key aspect of communication.

Write San Francisco on the board. Ask Where is it? (California, the USA.) and make sure all sts know about it. If possible show some images from Google images.

B Sorry. Me tourist. No English! T Oh, OK, sorry. T Excuse me. Is there a movie theater around here? C Yes, there is. Go straight on Market Street and turn right on Fourth Street. Go straight for one block and the movie theater is on the corner of Fourth and Mission Street. 3 T Excuse me. Do you know where the library is? D I’m sorry? T The library? D Ah, yes. Um, uh, I know! Go straight on Market Street for four blocks. Turn right on Grove Street at the stop sign. Then, um, uh, go straight for one block and the library is on the right. T Thank you. 4 T Um, uh, excuse me, are there any… E Sorry. No time, bye! T Hmpf… Excuse me. Are there any bookstores near here? F Yes, my friend, there are. T Good, uh, where are they? F Oh, yes, sorry. There’s one on Market Street. Go straight for about four blocks. The bookstore’s on your left, before the stop sign. T Sorry, can you say that again? F I’m sorry.

D Sts listen to 5.24 again and complete 1-4. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask Do you think he understood the last lady? Have you ever been in a situation like this? Are you good at giving directions? Practice: turn to AS 5.24 on p. 160. Sts role-play the dialogs. 1. It’s in front of you on Market Street. Cross here at the stoplight. 2. Go straight on Market Street and turn right on Fourth Street. Go straight for one block. On the corner of Fourth and Mission Street. 3. Turn right on Grove Street. 4. Go straight for about four blocks. The bookstore’s on your left.

MAKE ITPERSONAL Go back to the initial question Do

you live near here? Give a model yourself, e.g. how to get to your own home and see if they can follow your directions. In pairs, sts do the same. If possible, have some local maps available or sts can use their cell phones. You can even get sts to try to draw the instructions they hear from their partner. Monitor and correct as necessary. Round off by telling sts to practice mentally giving directions to themselves as they walk or travel home after class, and look out for tourists they can practice giving directions to!

Review 3 Mid-term Sts work in groups of four or eight. Within their groups, sts form two teams to play against each other. There are two starting points, one for each team (teams go in opposite directions.) Point to the coins in the instructions box on top of p. 60 and explain sts that if they get heads, they move one square; if they get tails, they move two squares. heads

tails

At each square they stop, sts from the same team take turns talking about the suggested topic (for more info, refer to the table below.) The winning team is the first to complete the full circuit. Draw sts’ attention to the language prompts in both inner curves of the circuit, and to the winner’s task (talk about himself / herself for a minute) at the finishing point. Monitor closely for accuracy and offer help whenever necessary. When sts are uncertain about what to say at a specific square, offer help by either prompting language or telling them the pages where to find the items / topics, as listed below. St A is the one who tosses the coin and is expected to either speak on his / her own or answer a question. The questions should be asked by a member of the same team, referred as st B in the table below. Do not allow strong sts to monopolize the activity—vary participants as much as possible so that no learner is left out. Topics

6 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 6 are rooms & furniture, there was / there were, party items, talking about the past and saying years (1998, 2009, etc.), describing where objects are, and making invitations. Sts learn and practice the topics through the contexts of describing homes, describing cities, listening to a party planner’s tips, talking about your last party, reading a blog about different new millennium celebrations (2000), and role-playing short dialogs inviting, accepting and refusing invitations to different events. Sts also watch a video and listen to an interview with a man who created “tiny houses.”

Do you live in an apartment? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use there be in the present and in the past to identify parts of the house and furniture. Language You sleep in a bedroom. In my opinion, a bed is essential. There are two chairs. There was a living room. There wasn’t a bathtub. There weren’t any windows. Vocabulary: Rooms (a bedroom, a bathroom, the basement, the kitchen, the office, the utility room, the garage, etc.) and furniture (a closet, a bed, a sink, storage place, etc.). Grammar: There was / There were. Review: There is / There are.

Lesson 6.1

Function Naming and identifying rooms and furniture. Talking about essential and optional items in a house. Reading and watching a video about tiny homes. Listening about and describing homes in the past.

Warm-up Before sts arrive, have prompts written on the board for these six questions: How many hours / you sleep a day? Where / you usually eat? How often / you cook? What time / you usually take a shower? How often / you wash your clothes? Where / you keep your car?

Elicit and drill the questions. In pairs, sts ask and answer the questions from the board. Monitor closely for Present Simple use. If time allows, they can swap partners and report what they remember.

1 Vocabulary: Rooms and Furniture A

Ask the title question to see how many sts live in an apartment. Explore the picture, pointing to it and asking: Is this a house or an apartment? (a house). Help sts find numbers 1-9 in the picture. Ask Where’s number 1? / Can you see number 1? and point to it in the bedroom, but do not name rooms yet. Play a quick game: you say the number, sts point to / find it in the picture. Say Where’s number 2? 3? and so on. That will help sts focus on numbers only—letters a-r are only dealt with in 1C.

Model the activity. Point to number 1 in the picture, ask What do people usually do in number 1? (e.g. sleep, watch TV, read) and say You sleep in…, letting sts complete your sentence (a bedroom). Do the same for number 2 (the kitchen). Ask: What do people do in number 2? (cook). In pairs, sts match the clues 2-9 to the correct room. Play 6.1 for sts to listen and check their answers. Get them to say the room as soon as they hear the clue so that they get feedback on their own pronunciation when they hear the answers.

6.1 1 You sleep in… a bedroom. 2 People usually eat in… the dining room.

3 4 5 6 7 8 9

You can cook in… the kitchen. Take a shower in… a bathroom. People work in… the office. We keep our car in… the garage. We watch TV in… the living room. You wash and dry clothes in… the utility room. Store things you don’t need in… the basement.

(9) the basement (4) a bathroom (1) a bedroom (2) the dining room (6) the garage (3) the kitchen (7) the living room (5) the office (8) the utility room

Write the word housemate on the board and elicit its meaning. Help sts grasp the idea by comparing it to the words “classmate” and “workmate.” Play 6.2. Sts listen to Tom showing his house to Anna, a potential housemate, and number the rooms in the order they hear them, that is, write 1-6 in the blanks next to the words in 1A. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask sts: Which three rooms in A are not mentioned in the passage? Play it only once as they listen again in D.

6.2 Notice /Hǹ / vs. /Ǡ/ sounds. T = Tom A = Anna T This is the living room. A Hmm… It’s very small. T There’s a fireplace and a nice TV with cable… and, uh, armchairs, and, uh, what else, ah, we love this sofa—it’s the center of the house. A Hmm… I never watch TV—and the sofa’s old. T Oh, this is the kitchen—it has a gas stove and a microwave and you can wash the dishes in the sink here. Here’s the refrigerator. It’s new. And, uh, there’s a table and two chairs here if you want to eat in the kitchen.

6.1 A Hmm… it’s kind of ugly. T Here in the dining room we have this big table with eight chairs. Good for dinner parties. A No, I don’t think so. I don’t cook for other people. T Now for the bathroom—just a toilet and shower, there’s no bathtub, I’m afraid. A Oh… I really like to take a bath. T This is your bedroom—you can see it’s large and it has a large bed and a table and a big closet and plenty of storage space and there is a fan, so you don’t get hot at night. A Hmm… it smells bad. T Here’s the utility room—there’s more storage space on these shelves here. So, what do you think? Do you like it? A Well, I need to think about it. T Sure. Give us a call tomorrow.

1. the living room: a fireplace, a TV, armchairs, a sofa 2. the kitchen: a gas stove, a microwave, a sink, a refrigerator, a table, two chairs 3. the dining room: a big table, eight chairs 4. the bathroom: a toilet, a shower (no bathtub) 5. the bedroom: a bed, a table, a closet, a fan, storage space 6. the utility room: storage space on the shelves. Anna doesn’t like the house. She says it is ugly and it smells bad.

2 Reading A Focus on the photo in 2A and ask: Is it a big house? As sts reply it is small, introduce the meaning of “tiny.” Say It’s a tiny house. and gesture very small. Read questions 1-3 with sts and give them three or four minutes to find the answers in the text or play 6.3 for sts to listen and read. Paircheck. Classcheck.

1. the living room 2. the kitchen 3. the dining room 4. the bathroom 5. the bedroom 6. the utility room The basement, the garage and the office are not mentioned.

1. Tiny houses are very small houses. 2. Small houses don’t cause problems for the environment. 3. He plans, designs and makes the houses. And sells plans too.

C Point to the picture on p. 62 again and ask: What’s letter a? (a TV), What’s letter f? (a bed). Focus on the first group of words in 1C and ask sts to match them to letters a-i in the picture. Paircheck. Classcheck and drill pronunciation.

B Point to Jay’s house in 2A again, ask Would you like to live in a tiny house? Is there a living room in Jay’s house? Is there a kitchen? A bedroom? How many rooms are there? and see if sts can guess. (There are four rooms in his house.). Play 6.4 or the video so sts can find out which four rooms there are in Jay’s tiny house. Focus on the 5 box and give examples of I’ve got and I have (e.g. a car, a stove, two beds) and make sure sts understand that they have the same meaning. Tell them to notice which form Jay uses (I’ve got).

Note By familiar we mean either that they have already seen the words in , or that they are recognizable cognates. Breaking lexis up into groups like this really should facilitate learning. Recognizing cognates is a special feature of . See TB Intro, p. 8-16, Advantaging monolingual classes. In pairs, sts test each other and take turns asking and answering (for letters a-i) “What’s letter a?”, “What’s letter b?”, etc. Repeat procedures above for vocabulary items j-r. Start off by asking about what is likely to be more familiar or easily recognizable for sts, e.g. ask What’s letter r? (a microwave) and What’s letter q? (a fireplace). In pairs, sts write two lists with items they think are essential or optional at home. Encourage sts to share their conclusions (“We think a bed and a refrigerator are essential”, etc.). For fun, you could limit them to the eight most essential itens.

(f) a bed (d) a chair (i) a closet (e) a refrigerator (b) a shower (c) a sofa (g) a table (a) TV (h) a toilet (o) an armchair (p) a bathtub (l) a fan (q) a fireplace (r) a microwave (n) shelves (k) a sink (j) storage space (m) a stove

Ask sts to write down the six rooms mentioned in Write a model on the board. The living room

The kitchen

The dining room

The bathroom

The bedroom

Cultural note Jay mentions a “faux fireplace.” In case sts ask for clarification, explain “faux” is pronounced /foș/ as it comes from French, meaning “fake.” The authentic video here has quite a few tricky words, so for weaker classes, or if you just wish to keep it really simple, we have recorded an easier version for you to use Portal and the without the video. This is available on the alternative script is below. You might like to play one then the other, i.e., harder then simple or simple then harder. Choose what’s best for your classes. The main point is to practice listening in a useful way, and build confidence, so if you do use the harder version, ensure sts realize that comprehending even 50% is a great success, and that they really shouldn’t either worry about nor expect to fully understand every word. Original video from: www. youtube.com/watch?v=SbRvsWuWNUM.

AS task If time allows, do the AS task 6.4 on p. 161. Focus on the highlighted sounds and get sts to repeat the words / links / stressed items / correct sentence stress as they hear them / it.

6.2.

The utility room

Sts listen to the conversation between Tom and Anna again and list the furniture in each room. Play 6.2 again. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Do they think Anna likes the house? Why not?

6.4 Notice the contractions. This is my tiny house. Come on in. Just inside the front door I’ve got these two puffy chairs flanking this little faux fireplace. It’s a very tiny fireplace, but it’s a tiny house. Closet storage and cabinet space below this desk. Computer storage space and there’s a little table down here. When I pull this table out, believe it or not, as long as I have tiny plates, it seats four people. Like that. Here in the kitchen I’ve got a bar sink, a double burner stove, a little refrigerator and a toaster oven.

6.1 The bathroom is the shower, so when I want to take a shower the nozzle’s on the ceiling and everything would get wet, except for I’ve got these little sliding doors that keep things dry, umm… and I can put this plastic curtain in here over the toilet which is right down here. Above the kitchen I’ve got access to the loft—that’s where I sleep. So the loft is nothing more than storage and sleeping. I’ve got all the storage at this end and then at this end I’ve got the sleeping—with the bed. It sleeps two really comfortably. So this is my bed and I’ve got a window at this end and a fan vent behind the shelves at the other, so that if it ever gets hot I can just turn this whole thing into a wind tunnel.

Leo wins the argument.

B Have sts look at AS 6.5 on p. 161 and focus on There was / There were examples in Anna and Leo’s conversation. Ask sts: Are they talking about the past or the present? (the past). Read Common Mistakes on p. 63 with the sts and have them complete the Grammar box. If time allows, ask sts to find There is / There are examples in the text in 2C and encourage comparisons between past and present forms of There be.

was – there – were – Were 1. a living room 2. a kitchen 3. a bathroom 4. a bedroom

C

Elicit / Drill the pronunciation of the words in the box. Sts listen to 6.4 again or watch the video to complete the ad for Jay’s tiny house. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask sts if they think Jay’s house is comfortable.

In the living room there are two chairs and a fireplace. There’s storage space for your computer and there’s a table for four people. In the kitchen there’s a bar sink, a doubleburner stove, a little refrigerator and a toaster oven. The bathroom has a shower and a toilet. The loft is above the kitchen. The loft has storage space for clothes and a bed, and there is a small window for air. Follow-up activity. Sts describe their favorite room in their house or apartment. If nece ssary, write prompts on the board with There is / There are. Sts talk in pairs. Ask sts to report back on their classmate’s favorite room. They can also write a description of it for homework.

3 Grammar: There was / There were A

Sts hear Anna and her partner Leo talk about the tiny house after visiting it. Ask Who wins their conversation? and play 6.5. Ask: Did they like the house? Classcheck.

Tip For immediate practice, get sts to close their books and, in pairs, remember (and write down) as much as possible about the house on p. 62 and its contents, using There was / were. E.g. There were six rooms and there was a garage, there was a red car in the garage, etc. Help sts to notice that the positive form is unstressed but the negative (including no) is stressed. For further practice, go to Grammar on p. 128.

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL To model the activity, tell sts that

you now live in a tiny house and that you will compare it to your “old home.” Refer to the speech bubble on the page and make sure sts understand they are supposed to talk about their homes as if they did not live there anymore, but in a tiny house like Jay’s. Monitor closely for singular and plural uses of the past form of There + be. Ask two or three sts to share their comparisons with the whole class. Round off the lesson with the Song line on top of p. 63. Check if sts can recognize the song / band. Encourage sts to remember a house they lived in when they were younger and talk about / describe it using There was / There were.

Song line:

Where were you last night? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use the Past Simple and past time expressions by talking about a party and finding out about each other’s past. Language There was a lot of wine. We need snacks, beer, a cake. I was at a fantastic party last week. There was great music and dancing. Where were you last night? Were you at home last Sunday? Vocabulary: Party-related Vocabulary (balloons, beer, invitations, snacks, plates, etc., space to dance, music). Past Time Expressions (yesterday + morning, night, afternoon; at + time; last + night, Sunday, weekend, etc.). Grammar: Recycle: There was / There were. Verb be (Past Simple).

Lesson 6.2

Function Naming and identifying party items. Listening to a description of how to give a good party. Talking about the last party you went to. Reading an informal e-mail. Asking and answering questions about past events.

Warm-up Books closed. Elicit what sts can remember about Jay’s tiny house from lesson 6.1. If possible, hand out a slip of paper to each student containing a word from 2C, p. 63 (bed, chairs, oven, refrigerator, shower, etc.) and ask sts to make true sentences about Jay’s home using There was / There were. In large groups, sts collaboratively try to describe the tiny house. Sts re-read the text in 2C, p. 63, to check if they were right.

4 Vocabulary: Party Items A

Books closed. Make use of some realia to present party-

related vocabulary. Most teachers’ rooms / schools have glasses, (plastic) plates, napkins and even candles stored— so, if possible, bring them to the classroom. Tell sts you’re having a party and show what you have brought. Elicit / Teach new words. Ask: What else do we need for a party? Encourage contributions (food = snacks, drinks = beer, wine, lemonade, etc.) and see what sts suggest.

Note The use of realia has been widely employed by language teachers to convey meaning and strengthen sts’ associations. Although technology (slides presentations, internet images, etc.) offers a quick and practical tool to present vocabulary, bringing in real items is still a great technique to make words tangible, real and memorable in the classroom. Books open. Explore the photo and ask sts to point to items in it. They won’t write at this stage. Ask: Can you see napkins? Balloons? A cake? Plates? Drill pronunciation and help them find any new vocabulary items.

B

Read the lesson Song line with the whole class and check if sts know / like the song / band. Elicit the meaning of “wanna.” Draw sts’ attention to the fact that “party” can also be a verb, as in the Song line. Ask sts: In your opinion, what’s important in a party? Music? Food? People?

Song line: I wanna rock ’n’ roll all night and party every day! Song: “Rock ’n’ Roll All Night” Band: Kiss (USA) Year: 1975

Sts listen to Liz, an events planner, talk about how to give a good party. Sts listen to 6.6 and order items 1-12 in the boxes in 4A. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

6.6 Notice /Hǹ / and /Ǫ / sounds. Notice how they follow the stress. Hello, my name’s Liz Marshall and I’m an events planner. Today I want to talk to you about how to give a great party. Well, it all starts with the invitation. Send the invitations early—three weeks before the party—and include all the important information. Where? When? What type of party? Now… what you need for the party. First, food and drinks. Well, for drinks you need some coke, maybe some homemade lemonade—and then you need some alcoholic drinks. I like to keep it simple: just wine and beer. You can have champagne too if it’s a special celebration. For food, I recommend chips and one or two other snacks. Don’t forget the plates, glasses and napkins too. If it’s a birthday party, a cake is essential. Next—decorations—again keep it simple with balloons. You can decorate the house with candles too—this gives a nice atmosphere. If you have a yard, why not have some fireworks too? Everyone loves fireworks! Now for entertainment—music is essential for a good party— make sure there’s space for people to dance. OK, so it’s time to start planning. Have fun! (10) balloons (4) beer (9) a cake (11) candles (12) fireworks (7) glasses (1) invitations (2) lemonade (8) napkins (6) plates (5) snacks (3) wine

Point to the letter M… / Elicit which item Liz talked about and see if sts can come up with “Music.” Play 6.6 again for sts to complete the five extra party items in 4C. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Coke; Champagne; Chips; Music; Space (for people) to dance. Ask sts to remember the last party they went to. In pairs, sts talk about their last party saying which items in 4A and 4C there was(n’t) / there were(n’t). refer to the speech bubble in D as a model.

I was at a great party yesterday, Rob! Oh, that’s nice, Martha. What kind of party was it? It was Jane Foster’s birthday. Oh! Were there a lot of people? Yep, there were about fifty. Wow! Was there a lot of food? Oh, yes, and there was an enormous chocolate cake. Hmmm… And… Was Jane’s partner there? Yep, he was. Rick and Jane make a perfect couple!! He’s so attractive, they were so beautiful together and the music was great—everyone was dancing, you know. He sounds nice. Were Jane’s parents there? No, they weren’t. Do you know them? Yes. Hmmm… I was Jane’s boyfriend before Rick. Oh, I’m sorry… I didn’t know that… In fact, the party wasn’t that great… and her new boyfriend was not really that nice… No problem. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. … Hey, there was a great show on TV last night. Did you see it?

C Sts study ordered lines 1-10 in B and complete the table in C with the correct past forms of be. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. They were home. / She was not home. / We were not home. / Was he home? / Yes, they were. / No, he wasn’t.

Tip Explore the Grammar box. Ask How many different forms are there for verb be in the past? (Only two, was / were). When do we use “was?” (with I / he / she / it) And “were?” (with we / you / they). Remind sts that English only has one form for you, which is why they need to be careful with Were you / Yes, I was. If you think it will motivate them, ask: How many forms are there in your language?

D Point to the e-mail. Tell sts to skim through it and ask them: What type of text is this? (an e-mail) How do you know it’s an e-mail? (boxes “to”, “cc”, “subject”; text format) Who is it from? (Stacey) Who is it to? (Martin) What is it about? (a party yesterday). Sts fill in the blanks with the correct form of be. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Tip Tell sts that different texts have different characteristics. An e-mail has its own characteristics, such as a sender, a receiver, a topic, a date and it may have an attached file. Hi, Martin! Where were you yesterday evening? It was Lina’s party and it was great! There was great music and dancing and the food was delicious! Were you at home? Your cell phone wasn’t on, so I couldn’t talk to you. You weren’t / aren’t at school and you weren’t at the party. Where were you??? I hope you’re OK. Write back, XX Stacey. Read the 5 box on past time expressions with the sts and have them practice verb be Past Simple on Grammar, p. 128, before they do the next activity. Clear up any doubts.

From left to right – Martha (1), Jane (3), Rick (4), and Rob (2).

B

Focus on Common Mistakes and remind sts of word order for Yes / No questions. Ask them to look for sentences which are questions in lines 1-10 (2-4-6-7). In pairs, sts write questions 2-4-6-7 in the correct order. Classcheck with answers on the board. Now elicit the correct order for line 1 (It was Jane Foster’s birthday.) In pairs, sts unscramble the rest of the sentences. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask: Do you remember who said each line? Was it Martha or Rob? Give sts a minute to guess who said each line and write Martha or Rob. Play 6.7 again so sts can check if their guesses were right. Classcheck.

1. It was Jane Foster’s birthday. (Martha) 2. Were there a lot of people? (Rob) 3. There were about 50. (Martha) 4. Was there a lot of food? (Rob) 5. There was an enormous chocolate cake. (Martha) 6. Was Jane’s partner there? (Rob) 7. Were Jane’s parents there? (Rob) 8. No, they weren’t. (Martha) 9. I was Jane’s boyfriend before Rick. (Rob) 10. The party wasn’t that great. (Martha)

Tip Highlight any common mistakes sts are likely to make by transferring from their own language, e.g. by crossing out “in the” in this phrase: yesterday in the evening. Still on p. 65, drill Were you / Where were you… + past time expression questions. E.g.: T

Where were you yesterday morning?

Sts (Repeat.) T

Yesterday evening.

Sts Where were you yesterday evening? T

Last Sunday.

Sts Where were you last Sunday? Prompts: last Monday / yesterday morning / last night / last summer. T

Were you at home last night?

Sts (Repeat.) T

At work.

Sts Were you at work last night? T

Yesterday morning.

Sts Were you at work yesterday morning?

MAKE ITPERSONAL Encourage sts to mime as much as possible what they can’t say yet, e.g. born, flying, driving, etc. They should be able to express a lot even though they will almost certainly make mistakes with verb forms and prepositions but this will obviously get better with practice. Focus your corrective feedback on helping them to get was / were and the time phrases right for now.

In pairs, sts have five minutes to discover as much as possible about their partner’s past activities. Refer to the

speech bubbles as a model. Classcheck by asking sts to report on what their partner said / answered. Were there lots of coincidences?

How was your last New Year’s Eve? Lesson Aims: Sts are going to read about five different millennium celebrations and talk about a party they remember. Sts are also going to learn prepositions of place. Language It was cold. There were fantastic fireworks. Saying years. We were anxious, worried about Y2K. Talking about a party you remember. There were a lot of drinks and food. Listening to and describing positions. The mouse is under the bed. Reading and writing text messages. Wan 2 come 2 a party? Vocabulary: Recycle: Party vocabulary. Adjectives (amazing, dangerous, anxious, worried, cold, awesome, magical, fabulous). Numbers for saying years. Grammar: Recycle: Past forms of be. Prepositions of place.

Lesson 6.3

Function Reading and writing about a past New Year’s Eve celebration.

Warm-up Recycle furniture and party items with a one-minute race game. Give each pair of sts a sheet of paper and tell them they will have one minute to write as many words as possible about a topic given by you. Start off with furniture items and give sts one minute to list all the items they can remember from lesson 6.1. When time is up, ask them to count how many words they have and the pair with the highest number reads their list aloud. Check spelling and correct pronunciation on the spot. Repeat the procedures for party vocabulary.

6 Reading A Books open. Tell sts that today’s lesson is about special nights late in December. Point to the photos and ask: What is this celebration? Do you recognize the places / cities in the photos? Have you been to any of them? The photos are of New Year’s Eve 1999 (in Paris, New York, Sydney and London). Answer may vary but sts can see: the Eiffel Tower, fireworks, people kissing, crowds, a flag, a harbor, Sydney Opera House, millennium glasses.

B

Focus on the web forum and ask sts: What is it about? What are people writing about? (The Millennium Celebration.) Ask Are your memories positive or negative? and tell sts to write or according to what they hear. Play 6.8 for sts to listen and read the text. Paircheck. Classcheck.

Tip The listening is optional. With a stronger class you might want to get them to try to do it in pairs, first as a listening then as a reading, telling each other whether they thought it was a or experience after each one. If you do it as a listen and read, again we suggest you pause after each one for them to check in pairs, to break up the activity. Write 2000 on the board. Draw sts’ attention to the posting written by Jodie (Berlin, Germany – second column) and ask sts how he refers to the year 2000 (Y2K). Explain Y stands for year, and K = thousand. Have sts read World of English and discover different ways of saying years. Write these examples on the board and elicit the correct forms of saying them: 1980, 2003, 2013, 1974, 2222.

Kerry, Dave, Habibah, Sabine, Kevin, Jodie, Luis Kirsty, Lindsey, Larry

C

Elicit and drill pronunciation of the words with pink letters in the text. Elicit what sts can remember from the texts in 6B and ask: Who was cold? (Kirsty) Who was in a big city? (Dave, Kirsty, Habibah, Sabine, Lindsey, Larry, Kevin, Jodie and Luis.) Classcheck.

Who: 1. Kirsty 2. Dave, Kirsty, Habibah, Sabine, Lindsey, Larry, Kevin, Jodie and Luis 3. Lindsey and Jodie 4. Luis Where: 1. Gisbourne, New Zealand 2. Cairo and Guadalajara 3. London 4. New York

D

Sts answer the question with a small paragraph. Remind sts to mention where they were, who they were with and how they felt. Have sts swap their texts and read each other’s memories. Sts find two things in common about how they spent the New Year’s Eve 1999. Classcheck.

Tip With a very young class who may not remember the Millennium, focus on the lesson title and get them to write about last New Year’s Eve!

E

MAKE ITPERSONAL Have sts sit next to classmates they usually do not work with. In small groups, sts ask and answer questions 1-6 about a party they remember. Make sure they understand it can be any type of party (a wedding, a birthday party, etc.) and not necessarily a New Year’s Eve celebration. Monitor closely for the use of past forms of be. Round off with sts reporting what their partners said to the whole class. For fun they can choose / vote on what they think was the best party.

7 Grammar: Prepositions of Place A

Review prepositions sts know by writing song lines from previous lessons on the board and blanking out prepositions for sts to complete. 1 You can stand

my umbrella.

2 We all live

6.3 Song line: Oh, what a night! Late December back in ’63. What a very special time for me. As I remember, what a night! Song: “December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” Band: The Four Seasons (USA) Year: 1975

Focus on the picture and elicit what sts can see in it (a desperate couple, a man on the phone, a mouse—in ten different positions, a living room and pieces of furniture). In pairs, sts match the mice 1-10 to the prepositions. Sts’ previous knowledge of furniture items will help them figure out new meanings in this task. Ask them to do what they can and help each other. Monitor and help as necessary. Play 6.9 to check answers. Tell sts to listen to Mike and then pause after the first “Hmmmmm” and ask Who’s Mike? (the mouse). Then play it right through. For fun, laugh at them for learning prepositions of place from a talking mouse!

6.9 Notice /Rș/ and /Dș/ sounds. Is that… Cheese? Mm. It is! Where is it? Is it in this box? No… Maybe under the table… Hmmm? Where is it? … People! Oh, no! Now, quietly between the table and the sofa, slowly, next to the sofa… Where are the people? Where is the cheese?! OK, let’s go! In the bed… on the bed… and jump! Ah! There they are! Ah! I’m opposite the people! I’m opposite the people! Quick! OK, concentrate, where IS that cheese? It is somewhere on the left. Hmmm… In front of the TV? No. Behind the TV? No. Not here. Ah, there it is! Now. How can I get above the TV? Hmmmm.

(10) above the TV (9) behind the TV (3) between the sofa and the table (8) in front of the TV (5) in the bed (1) in the box (4) next to the sofa (6) on the bed (7) opposite the people (2) under the table For a quick practice game, get sts in pairs to describe the position of an object in the classroom for their partner to guess. It’s on the wall / in the corner / above the door (the clock). For further practice, go to Grammar on p. 128.

B

In pairs, sts test each other in three different ways. Pair up with a student and model each activity. In pairs, sts continue the tasks.

Ask What are the most common prepositions in English? and see what sts’ guesses are. Read World of English with them and see if their answers were right.

C

Ask sts to read the text messages in Cyber English and find three prepositions (@ = at, 2 = to, 4 = for). If time allows, write these messages on the board in standard English and ask sts to write them in “texting language”: Where are you going to? / I’m at the door. / Text me before you leave. Where r u goin 2? / I’m @ the door. / Txt me b4 u leave. Now, ask sts to write a short text message to a partner. Sts can use Cyber English if they want to.

Were there trams in your city? Lesson Aims: Sts review prepositions and learn to use There was / There were to talk about the changes in their town. Language First, the mouse was under the table. There wasn’t a lot of traffic downtown. Twenty years ago, there was a park near my house… Now, there’s a swimming pool complex in the same place. Vocabulary: Recycle places in town. Past time expressions with ago. Grammar: There was / There were. Review Past forms of be and Prepositions of place.

Lesson 6.4

Function Retelling a mouse’s route. Reading about changes in a city. Talking about your town back then and now.

Warm-up Review prepositions of place. Place some classroom objects in various positions (under / on the chair, in a box / cupboard, next to a student, between sts, etc.) and elicit the right preposition by asking e.g. Where’s the pen? Where’s the pencil case? In pairs, have sts ask Where questions using their own classroom objects. Monitor closely and correct on the spot.

to model the speaking task and focus on the Past form of be (“First, the mouse was under the table…”). In pairs, sts “retell” the mouse’s route in the photo. Invite one student at a time to say where the mouse was to the whole class until the full route is told.

C

8 Listening A Books open to the previous page. Sts listen to a conversation between the couple in the picture in 7A. The mouse appears in ten different positions, but only seven will be mentioned. Sts listen to 6.10 and circle the seven mice in the picture in 7A. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask: Is it the same route as audio 6.9? (No, it is different.) 6.10 Notice stress to emphasize change. M M W M W M W M W M W

= man W = woman See that? What? There was a mouse under the table. Oh, no! Where? Over there! Oh, now I see it! It’s next to the sofa. It’s moving! Where did it go? Ahhhh! It was in front of the TV, now it’s behind the TV. Let me see if I can get it. Ahhhh! It’s on the bed. It was in the bed and now it’s on the bed! M There it goes. It was on the bed, but now it’s in that box. W Quick, close the box and take it out to the garden. M Good idea! 1. under the table 2. next to the sofa 3. in front of the TV 4. behind the TV 5. on the bed 6. in the bed 7. in the box

B

Ask sts Where was position 1 ? (under the table) What about position 2? and see what they can remember from the mouse’s route. Tell them to draw the mouse’s route using the picture in 8A on p. 68 as they listen to the couple again. Play 6.10. Ask How do you feel about Mike now? Are you afraid of mice? Sts paircheck by describing the mouse’s route using prepositions of place and the Past Simple of verb be. Write on the board a few simple narrative markers such as first, then, after that, finally. Focus on the speech bubble

MAKE ITPERSONAL Demonstrate the activity to the whole class first. Place five objects onto your desk and give sts 30 seconds to memorize positions. Tell them to close their eyes and move one object. Sts open their eyes and say what has changed, e.g. “The pen was next to the book, now it’s under the book.” Sts play this memory game with their own objects in pairs.

9 Reading A

Focus on the lesson Song line on p. 69. Check if they know / like the song / band. Elicit the title and draw the link with this lesson.

Song line: The city, she loves me. Lonely as I am, together we cry. I don’t ever wanna feel like I did that day. Take me to the place I love… Song: “Under the Bridge” Band: Red Hot Chili Peppers (USA) Year: 1991

Sts have two minutes to read and remember as much as they can about the Lasso Lake text in 9A. When time is up, sts close their books and tell each other all they remember about Pat’s blog. After they have compared their memories, encourage some sts to share their discussion with the whole class. Focus on the 5 box and the meaning of a lot of / lots of. If sts ask if they can use many or much, we suggest you can say yes and move on rather than deal with the differences here.

Note You can say “Thanks a lot,” but not “Thanks lots,” so this may be a useful thing to highlight.

B

Books open again. Sts listen to 6.11 and re-read the text to notice information they did not remember in 9A. Tell them to underline something they did not talk about in pairs. Elicit pronunciation of the words with pink letters. Were there many pronunciation surprises in the text?

C Point to pictures 1 and 2 (Lasso Lake back then and now) and ask sts to circle five differences that are mentioned in the text. Paircheck. Classcheck. In pairs, sts refer to the text to complete the table in 9C. Make sure they understand the first column refers to Lasso Lake in the past and the second one to the present town.

Back then

Today

There wasn’t a lot of traffic.

There are a lot of cars.

There was no supermarket.

There are three big ones.

The movie theater was next to the bank.

There is a cinema complex near there.

There was a theater opposite the park.

There’s no theater and there’s no park.

There were no security cameras.

There are lots of security cameras.

There was just a bus station.

There’s a subway station too.

Tip 5 box Focus on the word “ones” in the second sentence in column 2 today. Ask: What does “ones” mean here? (supermarkets). Then read sts through the 5 box and the examples there. This is quite a tricky point for Latin sts, so this is just an initial taste to help them understand it and avoid repetition where possible. This is presented in greater detail in 2 unit 10. Tip For extra practice, put some examples on the board for sts to replace the repeated words with one / ones. 1 Chris has three cars: a red car and two silver cars. 2 Which girls are your daughters? The tall girl over there. 3 Which coat is yours? The black coat is mine. That black coat over there. 4 How much is a sandwich? The tuna sandwich is $5 and the cheese sandwiches are $6.

D

Ask sts: Which do you prefer, the town in picture 1 or in picture 2? Do you think Pat feels more positive about the city as it is now or as it was before? How do you feel about your own town back then and now? Sts talk to the student next to him / her.

E

MAKE ITPERSONAL Focus on

Common Mistakes

highlighting the correct use of past expressions and a lot. Ask sts to give examples with “five years ago,” “a long time ago,” etc. In pairs, sts talk about their own city 20, 15 or 10 years ago, depending on their age. Before they start, brainstorm some ideas of topics they could compare regarding past vs. present (the traffic, the buildings, the landmarks, the shops, the cinemas, etc.). In pairs, sts talk about their city back then and now and mention two positive and two negative changes according to their opinion. Encourage sts to share their discussion with the whole class.

Extra writing Sts can write this up for homework. To finish, divide the class into two groups, those who think their city is better now and those who think it was better 20 years ago. See if they can convince someone to change sides.

Do you enjoy the Oscars? / How about a BBQ on Sunday? Lesson Aims: Sts are going to learn to predict information from the context. Sts are also going to learn how to make invitations.

Lesson 6.5

Function Reading about famous events. Listening to numbers and quickly relate them to facts in the texts read. Talking about your favorite event. Reading and writing invitations to parties. Listening to people invite, accept and refuse invitations. Inviting, accepting and refusing invitations.

Language There were about 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey in London. There were 72,000 people at Wembley.

My favorite event is the World Cup because… Do you want to come to a barbecue on Sunday? ? How about going Sure. That sounds great! I’m sorry. We already have other plans. Vocabulary: Famous world events. Numbers. Celebrations and Invitations. Grammar: Expressions for Inviting, Accepting and Refusing. Review: Past forms of be and There was / There were. WB Song line: “Here we are now, entertain us. I feel stupid and contagious. Here we are now, entertain us.”

Skills: Predicting from context Warm-up Sts play a mime game to review sports. Before class, prepare slips of paper with sports from lesson 4.1 on p. 38-39, e.g. basketball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, cycling, running, swimming, skiing, etc. Hand out one or two items to each student and, in small groups, sts take turns miming their words for the rest of the group to guess “You’re skiing / playing tennis.” At the end, ask: What’s your favorite sport? Tell sts to open their books to p. 70 and find two photos of events related to sports (Olympic Games and the World Cup).

A Ask: Who’s the actor? (Douglas Fairbanks) Who’s the player with the World Cup? (Carlos Alberto Torres — the captain of the Brazilian team) Focus on photos 1-5 in B and see if sts can identify the type of events shown in them, e.g. a wedding, the Oscar ceremony, the World Cup, a music festival, etc. Sts match photos 1-5 in B to the events in A. One photo will be left out. Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask: What’s the extra event? (the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, London 2012). Ask What can you tell me about each event? to brainstorm ideas. (4) The Live Aid concert (1) The first Oscar Ceremony (3) Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding (2) The 1970 World Cup The extra photo is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, London 2012.

B

Point to the text “Dream Tickets”. Sts listen to and read the reports and discover which event they describe. Play 6.12. Paircheck. Classcheck.

Tip In pairs, have sts try to remember (from 6.12) the pronunciation of words with pink syllables. Drill the pronunciation of words that are cognates to sts’ L1, e.g. private, luxury, present, president, triumph, event, or any other words you notice sts have difficulty pronouncing. The first Oscar ceremony, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, the 1970 World Cup, the Live Aid concert

C

Ask sts to cover their texts with a sheet of paper. In pairs, sts uncover and read the first line and try to guess

the upcoming word on the following line. Each correct guess equals one point. Sts continue uncovering one line at a time and trying to guess the following word(s) in the line below. Sts play the reading game in B. Ask sts how many points they scored. As they may have either come up with different alternatives for some of the lines or not understood certain links in the text, ask sts if they have any questions.

D

Sts hear twelve numbers which appear in the texts in B. Play 6.13 and pause after “36.” Focus on the speech bubbles and “Got it!” meaning I remember / I know that one. Ask them to find the numbers in the text and say what each number refers to. On the audio they only have four or five seconds to beat the beep. You may want to extend this to ten or more seconds by pausing the audio yourself, especially if you are asking them to write down their answers. Give them ten seconds to say what the numbers refer to.

6.13 36 270 107,412

4-1 5,000 72,000

2,000 1929

150 2011

1.9 billion 100,000

Tip This can be a fun competitive game where sts have to write down what each number referred to, and made even harder if you don’t let them look back at the text. Then add up the correct guesses at the end! 36 tables • World Cup final score 4-1 • 2,000 guests at Westminster Abbey • 150 nations showed Live Aid • 1.9 billion people watched Live Aid on TV • 270 guests • 5,000 street parties • The first Oscar ceremony was in 1929 • Prince William and Kate Middleton got married in 2011 • 100,000 people in Philadelphia watched Live Aid • 107,412 fans watched Brazil vs. Italy • 72,000 people watched Live Aid in Wembley •

E

Point to photos 1-5 in B again and ask the whole class What’s your favorite event? An obvious written homework follow-up is to ask sts to write a description of their “Dream Ticket” event. Focus on the model answer as an example and see if they agree about Pelé. Encourage them to say why and share their preferences. Can they think of any other “Dream Ticket” event they would love to have gone to?

in Action: Making invitations A Books closed. Write the lesson title on the board and elicit the meaning of BBQ (barbecue). Ask for a response to see how many different answers sts can come up with. Point to pictures a-f and ask: What are these? (invitations). Encourage sts to say what type of invitation each one is, e.g. a text message, a formal invitation, an e-mail, etc. Ask: What kind of event is each one for? Play 6.14 for sts to listen and read the invites. Allow them some time to compare their answers in pairs before saying them to you. Classcheck. a. to watch a movie b. a wedding c. a barbecue d. a birthday party e. a housewarming party f. a baby shower

B Sts will hear people talking about the events in A. Play Conversation 1 ( 6.15) and pause. Point to the invitations in A and ask: Which event are they talking about? (Housewarming party – invitation e). In B, sts write e in box 1. Play the rest of the track. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. 6.15 Notice the pronunciation of to, on, at, for. When are they stressed, when are they unstressed? 1 A Hello, Morgan! B Hi, Mara! A Scott and I are having a housewarming party on Sunday. Can you and Sandy come?

What did they say to invite people to the events? and see how much sts can remember from the previous listening activity. Focus on the table and elicit possible answers to complete the phrases. Make sure sts read all the phrases and options before you replay it. Play 6.15 again for sts to complete the table. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Drill the pronunciation of all sentences. In pairs, sts create and role-play conversations about two events from A. Tell them to use the phrases from the table in D to take turns inviting and accepting or refusing invitations. Monitor closely for accuracy. Ask a pair of sts to act out their dialog for the whole class.

Inviting Do you want to come? How about going…? Can you come? Would you like to come…? Do you think you can come?

Accepting Sure. That sounds good!

Refusing Thanks for the invitation. Sorry, I can’t. I’d love to! Thanks. I’m sorry. We already have plans. Sounds great! Thanks for inviting What can I bring? us. Of course we can. Maybe next time.

MAKE IT PERSONAL Ask each student to write an

example for 1-6. In pairs, sts compare their answers. Classcheck.

Tip Encourage sts to use words they think they know and then sts use their cell phones or a bilingual dictionary to check spelling if necessary. Help them with stress and pronunciation whenever necessary, but remember we are not trying to create native speakers just good foreign language switchers, so don’t insist on “perfect” pronunciation. And, at this low level, where possible, get them to try to stick to cognates, e.g. to choose crocodile over alligator, Can you repeat that? rather than Can you say that again, please?

C Individually, sts choose the best options a-c for each of sentences 1-10. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. 1. b 2. a 3. c 4. c 5. a 6. c 7. b 8. b 9. c 10. a

2. These are Nick and Steve. I work with them. 3. Your coat is on the floor. Please put it on your chair. 4. That’s Jessica. I was at school with her. 5. This is David’s phone. Can you give it to him?

G

Point to Common Mistakes and tell sts it is their turn now to correct the sentences. Call sts’ attention to the number of mistakes between parentheses. Read sentence 1 and elicit corrections from the whole class. In pairs, sts correct sentences 2-10. Whenever sts are uncertain, encourage them to flip back through p. 50-71 and check their answers in units 5 and 6. Classcheck with answers on the board.

1. There’s a problem with my computer. 2. I love walking on the beach. OR I love to walk on the beach. 3. Swimming is good for you. 4. I enjoy doing the dishes. 5. Do you know where the club is? 6. When I was 15, there was one cinema in my town. 7. Were you at school today? 8. A: Were you on vacation last week? B: Yes, I was. 9. 5 years ago, there were a lot of trees here. 10. A long time ago, my dad was young.

E

Sts match the columns. Paircheck. Classcheck. Get fast finishers to suggest another item / activity for each verb.

Tip If time is available, have sts work in pairs and ask each other questions about five activities, e.g.: Do you like cleaning the house?, Do you like doing the dishes?, etc.

Skills Practice A Direct sts to one of the texts indicated (p. 56 9A 5.16, Skills B 5.21 or p. 66 6B 6.8.) Play the audio for sts p. 58 to listen and read the text. Ask sts to close their books. Replay the track and ask sts to rate their listening comprehension

R4 from 0% to 100%. Ask any other useful questions about the listening. Do the same for the other texts.

Tip Since this is quite a long activity, if you are doing this in class either choose the best one to do as a group and set the others as homework. Or, if space and equipment allows, perhaps you can do them as a “jigsaw” listening: divide the class into three groups. Each listens to one of the audios, then sts report back their successes. At the end, ask the whole class: Do you think you’re making progress with listening?

B Excuse me. How do I get to the movie theater? Turn left at the stoplight. It’s on Brown St., on the right, next to the library. C Do you know where the mall is? Sure. Turn right at the corner. Go straight for one block. The mall’s on the corner of Brown and Liberty. D Excuse me. Is there a gym near here? Yes. Go straight for two blocks. Turn right. The gym is on Green St. between the supermarket and the French restaurant.

B

MAKE IT PERSONAL Refer to the model dialog in the speech bubbles or have two sts role-play it for the whole class. In pairs, sts talk about the activities in the box and say if they hate / don’t mind / like / love doing each of them. Monitor for -ing use of the verbs after hate / don’t mind / like / love.

D

At the end, ask sts to report some of their partners’ phrases to the whole class, e.g. “He hates cleaning the bathroom.” / “He doesn’t mind cooking.” Monitor closely for Present Simple 3rd person -s / doesn’t.

A B

C

C Read / Point to both text titles and briefly ask sts: Do you prefer (watching) the Olympics or the World Cup? Individually, sts read both texts and, for sentences 1-6, write T (true), F (false) or N (not mentioned). Paircheck. Classcheck.

1. T

D Point to the four bold words in the text in C. Ask sts to look at the photo on p. 72 and identify a goal-scorer, a glove, a goalkeeper, and a boot (from top to bottom.) E

Sts will hear four people asking for directions to places A-D. If an IWB is available, use the Digital Book for Teachers to better explore the map. Point to the four white squares on the map and tell sts they need to discover which places are A, B, C and D. Draw sts’ attention to the street names and the notes next to the green squares. Play Review Audio 4.2 and pause after dialog A. Allow sts some time to find where the bookstore is. Paircheck. Classcheck (A). Play the rest of the audio for dialogs B-D. Paircheck. Replay the track if necessary. Classcheck (B-D).

4.2 A Hi. Is there a bookstore around here? Yes, there is. Go straight for two blocks. There’s one on the left, opposite the theater.

F MAKE IT PERSONAL Sts read sentences 1-5 and talk about their own neighborhood or town. Refer to the model dialog in the speech bubbles before sts compare answers in pairs. Tell them not to use the words “true” or “false” (“For me number 4 is false”) when comparing, but to say there’s / isn’t / there are /aren’t sentences. At the end, ask each pair to tell you one similarity and one difference between their neighborhood or street. G

MAKE IT PERSONAL Question time. Sts look at the Language Map on p. 4-7 and take turns asking and answering the lesson titles from units 5 and 6. Monitor closely for accuracy and encourage sts to ask follow-up questions when suitable. At the end, ask them how they felt performing the task: Do you feel comfortable with all of the questions? Which ones are easy? Which ones are difficult? Again sts can make use of recordings and the other suggestions made earlier in the TB notes for this kind of exercise.

7 Unit overview: The main topic of unit 7 is the Past Simple with both regular and then irregular verbs. The contexts are the “Died at 27 Club” (artists who died at 27), Amy Winehouse’s biography, talking about your last vacation and an interview with rapper Jay-Z. Questions with and without auxiliaries (subject questions) are introduced and practiced through a quiz on pop culture. The unit ends practicing more phone language and polite requests and responses.

When did you start school? Lesson Aims: Sts start using the Past Simple in the affirmative form. The rules are taught in the next lesson. Language He was American and I think he was a guitar player. She was born in 1983. Amy got divorced in 2009. She died at 27. She received five Grammy Awards. I started school in 1989. Vocabulary: Recycle saying years (1983, 2009.) Music idols-related vocabulary: be born, start school, get divorced, get married to, get piercings / tattoos, trouble, musicians, receive an award, record an album, play the guitar. Grammar: Past Simple

Lesson 7.1

Function Talking about past events. Listening and reading a famous artist’s biography.

Warm-up Start off the lesson with the Song line on p. 75. Check if sts know / like the song and singer. Ask: Do you like her songs? Do you have any of her albums? What else do you know about her? This should make them feel a need to learn the past tense

(F) Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) – guitarist, singer – American – drug problems (E) Robert Johnson – guitarist, singer – drank too much and flirted with other men’s wives

and show you what, if anything, they already know. Song line: They tried to make me go to rehab, I said “no, no, no.” Song: “Rehab” Artist: Amy Winehouse (UK) Year: 2006

B

Point to Amy Winehouse’s pictures 1-10 and the phrases in B. In pairs, sts match the phrases to the correct pictures. Classcheck. Tell sts each / (slash) in the phrases stands for a missing word. Elicit what the first / might be (get divorced in 2009). In pairs, sts guess the missing words in all the phrases. Play 7.1 for sts to check their answers. Classcheck. Do not focus on Past Simple yet. That will be dealt with in 7.2).

1C (AS

1 Reading: Died at 27 Club A

In groups of three or four, sts identify the seven musicians in photos A-G and say what they know about their nationality, the instruments they played and the problems they had.

Tip This speaking task should be modeled carefully so as not to demand language your sts do not know yet (e.g. He played the guitar or had problems with…). Read the speech bubbles with sts and write prompts on the board to better guide their production: Photo A is (name). She was (nationality). I remember she was a (singer / guitar player), etc. I think her problems were… When they finish, ask each group to talk about one of the musicians.

C

Read Common Mistakes with the whole class and encourage sts to come up with sentences of their own, e.g. “I was born in (year).” / “I started school at (age).” / “Tom Cruise was married to Katie Holmes.”

Focus on the photo of Amy Winehouse in C and have sts ask and answer in pairs: “What do you think of Amy Winehouse?” “I think she was awesome / fantastic / horrible, etc.” (Recycle giving opinion). Have sts report their partner’s answers to the whole class. Focus on the title “I told you I was trouble.” Do they know where it comes from? It’s a line from one of her songs, “You Know I’m No Good.” Sts listen and read just the first paragraph. Play 7.2 and pause after “Died at 27 Club,” at the end of the first paragraph. Ask sts to cover the text and, in pairs, tell each other all they can remember about the first paragraph. Sts challenge their partners and see who remembers more details. Do not worry if they make language mistakes at this point. Repeat the procedure with all the other paragraphs. Make it like a memory game.

Tip In this activity sts will have the opportunity to practice fluency as opposed to accuracy. Let them speak freely so that they can gain confidence. Write the words from World of English on the board: musically, guitar, etc. Have sts repeat them after you and then underline the silent vowels—as highlighted in World of English on p. 75—and ask: Are these letters pronounced? (no.) Raise sts’ awareness to silent vowels in English. Play 7.2 again for sts to listen and do the AS task suggested below. Draw their attention to silent vowels in -ed endings and exceptions as mentioned in World of English on p. 75.

Tip Past Simple negative forms will be dealt with in lesson 7.2. 7.2 Notice the pronunciation of the -ed endings: /G/, /W / and /ǹG/. “I told you I was trouble” Famous for her great voice, big hair and bad habits, on July 23, 2011, Amy Winehouse joined legends Robert Johnson, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain in the “Died at 27 Club.” Amy Jade Winehouse was born on September 14, 1983, in London, England. From the age of 12 Amy studied at theater school, and at 13, she received her first guitar. Always a rebel, she got her first piercings and tattoos at 14. At only 16, she recorded her first demos, and three years later, she recorded Frank, an album that the critics really loved. Young Amy lived very fast! Only five years later, in 2008, she received five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Record of the Year for “Rehab”. Her lifestyle provoked a lot of interest, too. She married Blake

Fielder-Civil, a music video assistant, in May, 2007. But their marriage didn’t last long—they got divorced at the end of 2009. Amy’s impact was incredible. Millions loved her and copied her look, but others didn’t accept her because of her drug and alcohol abuse. Musically, Amy developed a new style, mixing jazz, soul, pop, reggae, world beat and R & B. She transmitted incredible emotion. Amy died of alcohol poisoning alone at home in Camden. “We only said goodbye with words.” Goodbye, Amy. The information above is based on www.biography.com/ people/amy-winehouse-244469?page=1.

D In pairs, have sts quickly re-read and decide if sentences 1-6 are T (true), F (false) or N (not mentioned). Classcheck with answers on the board. 1. N

2. T

3. F

4. N

5. T

6. F

E Point to the phrases in 1B on p. 74 and elicit the Past Simple forms of the verbs in boxes 1, 2 and 3. Elicit why they are in three groups: 1 = irregular, 2 = regular (silent E), 3= regular /ǹG/. Drill the pronunciation of all the verbs. Monitor closely for the -ed ending silent vowel in box 2. Tip When the final sound before -ed is /t/ or /d/, an extra syllable is added, e.g. added, wanted, visited. Focus on Amy Winehouse’s pictures 1-10 again and have sts retell the story chronologically in pairs. Remind sts to use discourse markers (First, Then, After that, Finally.) Encourage them to include all the extra information about the singer’s life they can remember / have learned from the lesson.

Tip Fast finishers can tell each other about one of the musicians in 1A they know well or their favorite artist, using the same verbs as in 1B. Monitor closely. When they finish, ask each student to retell part of the story to the whole class.

F

MAKE ITPERSONAL Sts ask / answer the title question “When did you start school?” Insist they make a full sentence and celebrate their excellent accurate pronunciation of “started!”

Extra writing Sts can research and write their own minibiography of any musician / artist they like, preferable one who has died, or else they would have to use the Present Perfect tense, which they haven’t learned yet. Don’t correct their work yet and make them look again after lessons 7.2 and 7.3 to see if they can improve it themselves as they learn more past tense forms.

Recycle be born, start school, get divorced, get married to, record a song and finish school. Two different uses of “so” (to intensify and conclude.) Irregular verbs – Past Simple forms – had, did, said, went, made, knew, thought, took, saw, came. . Irregular Past Simple forms. Grammar: Past Simple

Warm-up Recycle weather. Ask sts What’s the weather like today? or How’s the weather today? (It’s sunny, cold, etc.) Elicit the same question “What’s the weather like?” in the past, e.g. yesterday. Write some past time expressions on the board, e.g. yesterday, last Sunday, last Saturday, last holiday, last winter, and in pairs have sts ask each other: What was the weather like + past time expression?

2 Grammar: Past Simple A Books closed. Ask sts Do you remember what we talked about last class? What do you remember about Amy Winehouse? and encourage them to say a few sentences from her biography. If sts are too quiet, ask more direct questions, e.g. When did Amy start school? How many Grammy Awards did she receive? When was she born? etc. Books open. In pairs, sts scan the text in 1C on p. 75 to answer questions 1-4 in 2A. Classcheck with answers on the board. When you write the verbs on the board, cross out the silent e in the -ed endings in received / died / loved / lived / provoked / divorced / studied / married / copied / joined / developed and drill pronunciation for all the verbs in the answer key. See if sts can remember any other silent E words from lesson 2.4.

Read Common Mistakes with sts and reinforce the need to avoid these typical mistakes when learning Past Simple.

Tip Do a quick transformation drill with the whole class. Say affirmative sentences, e.g. She started school in 1989. She got divorced in 2009. I got tattoos last week. I studied English last night. I was born in Lima. etc. and have sts transform the

sentences into negative ones. In pairs, sts answer questions a, b and c in the Grammar box. Classcheck with answers on the board.

B

Focus on Jim Morrison’s photo and elicit what sts wknow about him. Do they like him / his music? Why is his image still so common today? In pairs, sts tell his bio using the dates and prompts in the graphic. Monitor closely for accuracy. Have six different sts retell Morrison’s biography, a sentence each, to the whole class. Do they know anything else about him? E.g. He died in a bath in Paris after too much alcohol and heroin.

He was born on…; He finished high school in…; He graduated from college and started The Doors in…; He recorded “Light My Fire” in…; He started living with Pamela Courson in… but didn’t get married or have children; He died in Paris on July 3, 1971 at the age of 27.

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL Elicit the past forms of the verbs in the box. Focus on the example to check and exemplify what they have to do. Ask sts to draw a timeline for themselves (with the years of important events in their lives) and individually sts write a short bio using six of the given verbs. Have sts swap and read each other’s bios and report them to the whole class, e.g. “Juan was born in…” “He started school in 1992.” etc.

Tip Alternatively, quickly collect and randomly number them, then display them on the walls for sts to read and guess who wrote each one, i.e. 1 Eduardo, 2 Paula, etc.

3 Reading A Focus on the five pictures and ask: Where do you think Ms. Riggs traveled to? Elicit some guesses and focus on Common Mistakes for sts to discover the answer (She went on a trip to Turkey.) Following the second sentence from Common Mistakes , ask sts to point the picture in which she

Tip Don’t let them read it yet. Get them to cover the text and Common Mistakes with a piece of paper. Focus on the title of the magazine interview, the “Not really!” at the end, and the pictures. Get them to speculate on what they can see: where she went to / what might have happened, etc. NB: Ms. Riggs is the woman in orange. Elicit some guesses then uncover the text. Sts quickly read the interview and number the pictures in the order the events happen in the text. Sts can also listen to the interview with Ms. Riggs ( 7.3). Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask Do you know any similar travel stories with a happy ending? to see what they can come up with. Use anecdotes of your own if you can.

Books open. Focus on / explore the Song line. Do they know / like the song / singer? Can they sing it? How many past tense forms are there in it? Are they regular or irregular? When do you say “Oops!” in English? (when you make a mistake or have an accident.) Song line: Oops, I did it again. I played with your heart, got lost in the game. Oh, baby, baby. Song: “I Did it Again” Singer: Britney Spears Year: 1999

Tip The most frequent irregular verbs list of this book is on only puts phonetics next to words we think sts will p. 130. struggle with because of irregular sound / spelling relationship. Don’t forget to refer to the picture words in the Pronunciation Chart on p. 154-155 to help them remember the symbols and sounds.

B

Sts perform the task individually this time. Write on the board How often do you travel? Who do you travel with? Where do you like to go? Where’s your favorite place in the world? Why? Do you enjoy flying / traveling? Any “Oops!” travel experiences? In pairs, sts answer the questions then report back any interesting answers. Obviously, they will make mistakes but again they should still easily be understandable and will learn more past tense forms now.

Tip If they listen to a text after reading it, it’s often a good idea to ask them to compare the reading and listening experiences and try to talk about the problems they have with reading or listening.

Individually, sts find at least ten irregular verbs in the Past Simple in the text in 3A . Paircheck. Classcheck. Monitor closely for pronunciation. For an extra activity at any time now you can play Past Tense Bingo. Sts write down six verbs in the infinitive form then you call out the irregular past tense forms they know until they’ve got them all.

The verbs from World of English sts can find in the interview are: ­ had, went, was, got, did, came, said, took, knew, saw, thought.

Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Google it and show sts some images of the island if technology is available.

Last vacation my sister and I went to Ilha Grande—that’s Big Island in English! We traveled by car and then took the ferry. There are no cars there, so we walked a lot! The island’s incredible, the forest is really beautiful and the smell of nature is fantastic. We visited lots of lovely beaches too and I saw three dolphins! We ate lots of fish. It was very hot and I drank a lot of cold soda too! We stayed in a small hotel and met some nice tourists from Argentina. We had a lovely time and I can’t wait to go there again.

D

intonation for yes / no questions and falling intonation for Wh questions. Have sts take turns asking you all the questions in the flowchart. In pairs, sts ask and answer questions about their last vacation. Monitor closely for accuracy. Make sure the student who is answering doesn’t look at the flowchart, but instead makes eye contact with his / her partner. Discuss any interesting answers they want to share with the class. Pay special attention to did you when sts ask the questions.

Extra writing For extra writing practice, sts can write up their own (or their partner’s) last vacation as a blog. If they e-mail them to you, you can post them on the Learning Platform and they can all read and enjoy each other’s stories about their last vacation.

5 Vocabulary: Dates A

Have sts work in small groups and match the musicians from the “Died at 27 Club” to their dates by drawing lines as in the example. Play 7.6 so they can check if their guesses were right. Check which group got most dates right.

Highlight the two routes—left or right—depending

on the first answer. The questions in the middle work for either response. Point to the questions in the flowchart.

Tip Don’t give them too long or it will feel more like a math problem!

7.5. Sts hear seven questions and they have to find

Play

and point to the questions they hear. Pause after each question so you can monitor more efficiently. At the end, ask: How do you pronounce “did you?” Draw sts attention to the elision, that is, the connection of sounds when did you is pronounced. To help them produce it, beat the stress on the question and main verb and encourage them to accelerate on the unstressed parts.

7.5 Where did you go? Did you relax? Where did you stay? Did you watch a lot of TV? Did you have a good time? How did you get there? Did you eat well? did you = /Gǹȳș/

E

MAKE ITPERSONAL Model the activity with the whole

group and have sts interview you about your last vacation before they get to work in pairs. Have a different student

7.6 Notice the connections to prepositions and the pauses between the dates and the years. These talented musicians all died at the age of 27. Blues singer and guitarist Robert Johnson was born on May 8th, 1911 and died on August 16th, 1938. The original Rolling Stone Brian Jones was born on February 28th, 1942 and died on July 3rd, 1969. The incredible Jimi Hendrix was born on November 27th, 1942 and died on September 18th, 1970. The pearl, Janis Joplin, was born on January 19th, 1943 and died on October 4th, 1970. Finally, Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain was born on February 20 th, 1967. And he died on April 5th, 1994. A coincidence or a curse? Robert Johnson was born on May 8th, 1911 and died on August 16th, 1938. Brian Jones was born on February 28th, 1942 and died on July 3rd, 1969. Jimi Hendrix was born on November 27th, 1942 and died on September 18th, 1970. Janis Joplin was born on January 19th, 1943 and died on October 4th, 1970. Kurt Cobain was born on February 20th, 1967 and died on April 5th, 1994.

ask you the next question each time and help them to produce did you (/Gǹȳș/).

Stronger classes Strong groups can have an extra challenge. In pairs, sts decide if the questions in the flowchart have rising or falling intonation (as seen in lesson 2.4, SB p. 22). Weaker classes Elicit all the questions. Make sure they understand each “/” stands for “did you”. Drill the rising

B

Write one of the dates from 5A on the board, e.g. November 27, 1942. Tell sts you will play 7.6 again and ask them to notice which sound comes after the day (27) and all the other days in the audio track. Classcheck. Ask sts: Did you notice any different sound apart from “th?”

You can hear the unvoiced /ˠ/ “th” at the end of the days. 3rd is different.

7.3

C For the unvoiced “th,” quickly group sts to stand up and form a line, e.g. from the tallest to shortest in the group. Ask: Who’s the first in line? And the second? Use the sts’ position to convey the meaning and use of ordinal numbers. Sts sit down. Focus on the 5 box and explain the differences in form (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and th uses) and drill pronunciation for several examples of ordinal numbers. Read World of English with the whole class and elicit ways of saying a few dates, e.g. the present date, the teacher’s birthday, celebration dates (Christmas, New Year’s Eve, etc.) Ask: Is the way you write the date here the same as in the USA? (month / day / year). In pairs, sts take turns saying the dates from 5A table: St A: “Robert Johnson was born on the 8th of May, 1911.” St B: “That’s right. And he died on August 16th, 1938.” Monitor closely for accuracy. Ask a few sts to say some of the dates to the whole class.

Tip The “th” ending is particularly hard for many sts as it does not exist in their language. For extra practice use picture words in the Pronunciation Chart on p. 154-155.

D

Elicit prepositions from sts and write all the prepositions they can remember on the board. Make sure you include of, at, in and on.

Weaker classes Narrow down options to choose from the board. Circle the four prepositions (of, at, in, on) and say they will use them to complete 5D. Individually, sts complete Janis Joplin’s bio with suitable prepositions. Paircheck.

She was an only child until the age of six. In 1962, Joplin left home to study at the University of Texas. She left college in January, 1963. Joplin died at 27, from an overdose, on October 4, 1970.

E MAKE ITPERSONAL Tell sts to stand up again, but this time the line will follow a different order: the birthdays. Make sure they take their books with them as they will need them for part two of the exercise. Drill the question When’s your birthday? and have sts discover each others’ birthdays to form the line in the correct order. At the end, check if they got it right: do a chain drill (A asks B, B asks C, C asks D, etc.) and have sts ask the next person in line: When were you born? Drill pronunciation first and say it is another way to ask about birthdays. Make sure they reply using “I was born on…” before the dates. Still in line, get the first five sts to form a group, the following five form another and then so on. In groups of five, sts interview each other and complete the chart in 5E. Use the speech bubbles on the page to model their conversation. Classcheck. Round off with the lesson’s Song line on top of p. 79. Read the lines with the sts and see if they know / like the song / singer. Ask: Which of the female singers in the last three lessons do you prefer: Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears, Janis Joplin, Lady Gaga?

Song line: I’m beautiful in my way, ‘cause God makes no mistakes. I’m on the right track, baby, I was born this way. Song: “Born This Way” Artist: Lady Gaga (USA) Year: 2011

Play 7.7 for sts to check their answers. Do they know / like her music? Elicit some rules for preposition use and see if they can recognize some patterns, e.g. before dates with days, use on; for years and months, use in, etc.

When do you listen to music? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to ask subject questions to interview someone. Sts also learn to use ordinal numbers. Language Jay-Z got up at around eight o’clock. Then, he had breakfast. Asking and answering about yesterday. What did you do yesterday? I read a book. Reading / Taking a pop culture quiz. Who recorded more songs? Which singer won six Grammys in 2012? ? Which band composed Asking and answering about cultural facts. When did Neil Armstrong land on the moon? Who directed The Avengers? Writing your own quiz. Who composed the song “Imagine”? Vocabulary: Recycle routine verbs. Expression to show you’re impressed (Wow, so early! / No! I can’t believe it!, etc.) Grammar: Subject questions.

Lesson 7.4

Function Talking and listening / watching a video about past routine.

Warm-up Recycle dates. Have some prompts on the board or printed on slips of paper: Christmas, Halloween, (local holidays, e.g. Independence Day), your mother’s birthday, your best friend’s birthday, your English teacher’s birthday. Have sts take turns asking each other When is ? questions and practice saying dates in English. Were there any coincidences?

6 Listening A Books open to p. 80. Point to the photo in 6A and ask: Who’s he? (rapper Jay-Z) Do you know his music / any of his songs / anything about him or his family? Point to the two example phrases already done for them and ask: What did he do first? (1. got up at around eight o’clock.) Ask: What was the seventh thing he did yesterday? (7. downloaded some music.) Ask: What about the second thing? Elicit sts’ guesses.

7.8 Int Int J Int

= interviewer J = Jay-Z What’s a typical Jay-Z day? Mmm… Typical… Obviously… give me your day yesterday. Obviously you flew out here late last night or early this morning. What was your day like? From the time you got up to the time you went to the Nets game last night. J I got up around eight, had some breakfast, I ran a mile, it was really tough. Int A mile? J You know, I just wanted to touch it. Int Quite a marathon. A mile. J Yeah, one mile. Everyone can’t be like you*, man. Ran a mile. Then I went to the office, read a bunch of e-mails, read some more e-mails, downloaded some music—legally— Um… uh… had a meeting with some great people, I don’t want to say any names yet. After that I listened to some music, went to the studio, had dinner, went to the Nets game, we won, we’re up 3-2, thank you very much, went to sleep.

Tip Drill the pronunciation of the past form of read: /red/. Individually, sts try to guess about Jay-Z’s day and order the phrases in A, 1-13. In pairs, sts compare their guesses: “I think he got up at around eight and then he had some breakfast. After that, I think he…”

B

Sts listen to the audio / watch the video to check their guesses in A.

Weaker classes Pause the track or video every three actions so sts have more time to check their answers in A. In pairs, sts tell each other what they remember from the video. Encourage them to use ordinal numbers to ask: What was the first thing he did? And the second? The third? Classcheck the correct order in 6A. How many did they get right? Did anybody guess the whole thing correctly? What else did they learn about Jay Z? (He runs a little and supports the Nets, a New York basketball team.)

Note *In formal grammar / written English, this sentence would be “Not everyone can be like you.” Cultural note A mile is equivalent to 1.6 km. (7) downloaded some music (1) got up at around eight o’clock (8) had a meeting (11) had dinner (2) had some breakfast (9) listened to some music (3) ran a mile (5) read a bunch of e-mails (6) read some more e-mails (13) went to sleep (12) went to the Nets game (4) went to the office (10) went to the studio

C

Now sts listen to another interview (this time with an unknown person) and number phrases, 1-5, as they hear them. Paircheck. Classcheck. This is very much a tongue in cheek activity to help them enjoy asking and answering about yesterday, which can get a little mundane afterwards. It also helps a lot with intonation too. Enjoy it!

113

English ID TCH 21x29.3 Int.indd 113

4/10/13 9:59 AM

7.4 Tip Drill the pronunciation and intonation of all the expressions. Make sure you and your sts sound impressed! 7.9 Notice the intonation in the “impressed” words. A So, what’s your typical day like? Let’s see. What time did you get up yesterday morning? B I got up at about six. A Wow, so early! Did you have breakfast? B Yes, I had an egg and some coffee!

7.11 Notice the -ed endings and /Ǩ/ in was. T = teacher S = student T So everyone finished? Time for the answers. Number 1 was in fact Adele. S Yes! We got that one! T OK… the Spider-Man musical was composed by the famous Irish band U2. S Another one right! T Madonna did…

A Fantastic! And who did you have breakfast with? B My mom was with me. A That’s great! And what did you do after that?

S No!

B I took a shower and went to work! A No!! I can’t believe it! And then what happened? B After work I went back home, played a video game, had dinner and went to sleep.

S I knew it. Three points! T OK, question 4. “Accidentaly in love” was in the movie Shrek 2. S That is correct. I love that song.

A Incredible! What a fantastic routine! Thanks a lot!

T OK. A difficult one now. Which of these three recorded more songs? Was it A) The Beatles, B) Elvis Presley or C) Michael Jackson?

T Madonna did NOT write the song for the 2010 World Cup. It was in fact Shakira.

1. Wow, so early! 2. Fantastic! 3. That’s great! 4. No!! I can’t believe it! 5. Incredible! What a fantastic routine!

D Swap partners. In pairs, sts interview each other about yesterday. Elicit possible questions (What was the first thing you did? And then? And after that?) Tell sts the interviewer has to look / sound impressed, and use some of the phrases in 6C with the appropriate intonation. At the end, if possible, have one pair of volunteers act out their dialog for the whole class.

S I know, I know, I’ve got it, I know the answer! It was The Beatles—my dad has all of their records. He has hundreds of them. T Well, actually it wasn’t The Beatles. They only recorded about 250. Elvis recorded between 700 and 1,000 songs. S I don’t believe it. No. I’m sure it was The Beatles. T Well, I’m sorry. On to question 6, Flea plays the bass guitar, and for question 7—that is Jay-Z. S Hmm. T Now, on to famous deaths. Janis Joplin—the great ’60s singer—died on the bathroom floor. Whitney Houston died in the bath and Michael Jackson died in his bed.

7 Grammar: Subject Questions A

Focus on the lesson Song line. Read it for the sts and see if they can tell which singer recorded it and what the song is called. Ask sts: Do you know music well? Can you sing it? Do you like the singer? Do you know any other song by Adele? Let’s see.

S I didn’t know that. T And Bob Marley’s last words were “Money can’t buy life.” S Really? T Yep. And finally Ricky Martin sang with Menudo before he went solo.

Song line: I heard that your dreams came true. Guess she gave you things, I didn’t give to you. Song: “Someone Like You” Artist: Adele (UK) Year: 2011

Point to the Quiz photos and elicit who some of the people are (Menudo / Ricky Martin, Whitney Houston, Bono Vox, Flea, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Adele, Shakira, Elvis Presley). Ask sts to choose their two favorites to see how they react / learn more about their tastes in music. In pairs, sts take the Quiz 1-10.

Tip Alternatively, you might have sts listen to track

7.10 and

choose their answers individually, and then paircheck.

B Play 7.11 for sts to check their guesses. Check who got the most answers right. If sts are not really into music, instead of asking how many answers they got right, ask them how many answers they got wrong. Invite sts to say something they learned from the Quiz, e.g. “I didn’t know / I learned the Spider-Man musical was composed by U2.”

1. c Adele 2. b U2 3. a Shakira 4. c Shrek 2. 5. b Elvis Presley 6. c Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) 7. b Jay-Z 8. Janis Joplin: bathroom floor / Whitney Houston: bath / Michael Jackson: bed 9. c “Money can’t buy life.” 10. a Menudo Focus on questions 9 and 10 from the Pop Quiz. Ask: Is there an auxiliary verb? (did) Now focus on question 1. Can you see an auxiliary verb? (No.) What about 2? (No.) Have sts match the rules in the Grammar box.

Weaker classes The concept of object and subject might not be very clear for sts. In this case, sts will need more guidance to understand the difference between object and subject questions. Have sts compare two simple questions on the board: 1) What did Alexander Graham Bell invent? vs. 2) Who invented the telephone? Help them see the differences in grammar and meaning. Label the subject and object for them. After that, write: J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books. Cover or erase the subject and elicit the question (Who wrote Harry Potter books?) Then cover or erase the object and elicit the question (What did J.K. Rowling write?)

C In pairs, sts take turns asking subject and object questions. Monitor closely for accuracy. Sts check their answer and facts they do not know in C, in smaller font upside down just below sentences 1-5. Classcheck.

D MAKE ITPERSONAL In pairs or small groups, sts prepare their own quizzes. Tell them to write five questions about well-known musicians, TV or movie stars, songs, albums, movies, characters, awards. Make it clear that they do not have to stick to music, but can ask about any aspects of pop culture. Make sure they include at least three subject questions. Monitor closely and correct any mistakes by referring them back to Common Mistakes before moving on to the next stage. Have groups swap quizzes to test each other. Sts answer the quizzes and see who got most answers right. Classcheck.

Tip Refer to Common Mistakes whenever you need to correct sts’ mistakes on the spot or for delayed correction afterwards. Possible suggestions: 1. Who landed on the moon? When did they land on the moon? 2. Who directed The Avengers? When did he direct The Avengers? 3. Who published the Da Vinci Code? When did he publish the Da Vinci Code? 4. Who became U.S. President in 2008? 5. Who won six medals? When did he win six medals? Where did he win six medals?

Can I use your phone? / Could you help me, please? Lesson Aims: Sts learn more phone phrases to understand an anecdote. They also learn to use can / could to ask for favors. Language I can’t get a signal. Can you? Oh, no! My cell battery’s dead. Listening to people request favors. Could you see who it is? Could you please wash the dishes? Asking for favors and offering help. I’m really sorry, but I can’t. Don’t worry. I’ll get it. Sure. There you go. Vocabulary: Cell phone related words (battery, signal, credit, recharge, make calls, etc.) Grammar: Requests and favors. Can vs. Could for politeness. Will for unplanned responses or decisions. WB Song Line: Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Help!

Lesson 7.5

Function Listening and telling stories about cell phone problems.

Warm-up Recycle routine verbs in the past. Write What did you do yesterday? on the board and have sts talk about what they did the day before class. Ask them to find three things in common. At the end, sts report similarities to the class, plus any surprises or special things they discovered about their partner.

Skills: Understanding a story A

A customer in a phone store and the shop assistant talking about a phone that doesn’t work.

C

Replay 7.12 again for sts to listen and fill in the blanks. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Elicit predictions about what happens next in the story. Ask: What do you think will happen next? How does the story end?

Ask sts How often do you use your cell phone? What do you use it for? and see who is more “addicted” to phones in class.

Yes, I hope so.

Books open to p. 82. Read phrases 1-5 with the whole

class and have a conversation with all the sts. Use the example on the page and give another of your own to help them get started. As you read one at a time, check if they understand all the phrases and ask them: Do you remember the last time you said it? Where were you? What did you do? etc. Have as many sts participate as possible. Respond positively (using impressed intonation as in the last lesson) to sts’ contributions. Have sts vote on the one they think is the most common.

What exactly is the problem?

talking. One of them has a problem with his cell phone. What’s the problem? Play 7.12 and elicit the answer (There’s a problem with the phone battery.) After they listen, ask: Who are the people in the conversation? (Customer and shop assistant.) Where are they? (At the store.) Open books and move to C.

the phone died again after about two minutes.

D

Play 7.13 so sts can discover how the story ends. Ask: How does he solve the problem?

7.13 Notice the stress in the questions. 7.12 Notice the connection between /W/, /G/ at the end of words and the vowel at the beginning of the next word. A = assistant C = customer A Hello, can I help you? C Yes, I hope so. There’s a problem with my phone. It doesn’t work. A I see. What exactly is the problem? C Well, it’s a new phone, but when I turned it on the battery died as soon as I started making calls. A Hmmm… Did you try recharging it? C Yes, I did that right away, but it didn’t work. I mean, I called a friend, but the phone died again after about two minutes.

A OK. So when did you buy this phone? C Uh… last week. A Oh, it’s really new. And where did you buy it? C I bought it in this store. The assistant was very helpful. A That’s good! Well, did you keep the receipt? C Yes, I think so…. Ah! Here it is! A OK. Can you leave your phone with me? C Uh…, but, um…, how long? A Maximum two days. We either repair it, or give you a new one. C Phew! Thanks! The shop assistant agrees to send the phone for repair.

Tip Tell sts to write in pencil so that they can erase / correct their answers if they need to. It would be helpful if you pre-teach the words drop, boss, and hand-dryer from the pictures. 7.14 Notice the expressions for responding to a story. M = Mike C = Chris M Hey, Chris! How’s it going? I tried to phone you. C Hi, Mike, I’m not happy at all. M Why? What happened? C Man! I’m so stupid. I dropped my cell phone in the toilet! M You’re kidding! How did that happen? C Well, I was at work, right, and I had my phone in my jacket pocket. My boss was—like—“Chris, can you clean the bathroom?”. So OK, I cleaned the bathroom. But I’m like, cleaning behind the toilet when… SPLASH! M Oh, no! Disgusting! C Well, at least I cleaned the toilet first! M Phew! Did you get it out?

in Action: Asking for favors A

Point to pictures 1-5 and elicit what they are doing / wearing / thinking, then say All the people need some help. They are asking other people to do them favors. Can you match the requests (point to 1-5) to the correct favors (a-e) below? and sts try to guess the right combinations.

Tip Ask sts to start the activity individually for about 30 seconds before moving them into pairs to complete it. Play 7.15 for sts to check their answers. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask Which actions a-e did not happen? or Who didn’t get any help?

7.15 Notice the connections. 1C D C D C

2 E Excuse me. Uh, could you open the door for me, please? F Oh, sure. There you go. E Thank you so much. 3 A Dan, there’s someone at the door. B Could you see who it is? I’m busy. A Don’t worry, I’ll get it. 4H I H I H

C Yeah, of course. That phone cost $200, man. I

M What did you do? C Well, I put it under the hand-dryer in the bathroom but it still doesn’t work. M Gee! That’s bad luck.

G Tell sts to listen to Mike and Chris and remember which four questions Mike asks Chris. Paircheck. Classcheck. If time allows, go to AS 7.14 on p. 163 and do the AS task, Expressions for responding to a story. Ideally you would tell an anecdote of your own about losing or leaving your phone somewhere so they can ask questions and you respond to them. Ask sts: Do you have any similar stories? If so, have them tell their stories to the whole class and encourage other sts to ask for details, using some of Mike’s questions and the expressions for responding too.

What happened? How did that happen? out? What did you do?

Did you get it

Language note “How’s it going?” is not a proper question, it is a greeting, although it has a question mark at the end of it.

Oh, no! Look at this mess. Sophie! Yes, Mom? Could you please wash the dishes? Uh, sorry, it’s Brian’s turn today. OK, forget it. Brian!!!

5J K J K J

Jim! Uh? Could you please cut the grass, Jim? Uh, but… the game…. Come on, I can do it tomorrow. Could you do it this afternoon, please? Your mother’s coming to visit. Oh, oh, uh, OK, I’ll do it now. Could I ask you a favor? Hmmm, that depends. What do you want? Could I leave my son with you this weekend? Oh. I’m really sorry, but I can’t. I have two parties to go this weekend so I can’t be with your son. Sorry. Oh, no problem. Thanks anyway!

1. c 2. d 3. b 4. e 5. a Washing the dishes and looking after the son did not happen.

B

Read the 1st 5 box (Can / Could) with sts. Play 7.15 again for sts to complete questions 1-7. Paircheck. Classcheck. Draw sts’ attention to Common Mistakes and drill the pronunciation of some of the questions they have just completed. Ask the sts to match the questions to the best responses in the right column. Paircheck. Classcheck. Use the 2nd 5 box to explain the use of “will” in “OK, I’ll do it now.” and “Don’t worry. I’ll get it.” Contrast with Present Continuous for arrangements, which are of course planned. They will learn “going to” in lesson 9.3.

Could you please cut the grass, Jim? Come on, I can do it tomorrow. 5. Could you do it this afternoon, please? OK, I’ll do it now. 6. Could I ask you a favor? That depends. What do you want? 7. Could I leave my son with you this weekend? I’m really sorry, but I can’t.

C

MAKE ITPERSONAL Sts role-play situations 1-4 using Could you…? requests and the responses from B. Use the examples to illustrate what they have to do.

Weaker classes Sts might need more thinking time before they perform this activity. Give them time to write one or two dialogs together before they role-play the situations. Offer help whenever needed.

Tip If you want to continue to review phone language have them play back to back, cell phones in hand and role-play that way. Have four different pairs of sts act out each situation for the whole group. For fun, at the end of the lesson, drop your pens / book on the floor, pretend your bag is too heavy to lift, your arm hurts so you can’t open the door, turn off the light, etc. to spontaneously practice requests and get them to respond accordingly!

In this unit, sts also read / scan a menu for specific information and learn / practice how to order a meal at a restaurant.

What do you have in your fridge? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to talk about food and drink items.

Lesson 8.1

Function Naming food and drink items. Talking about food and drinks you like / dislike. Listening to a person making a shopping list. Making your own shopping list. Listening to a couple talk about what they have in their fridge. Vocabulary: Food and drink items. Grammar: Countable vs. uncountable, some, any.

Warm-up Have sts browse pages from unit 7 and, in pairs, ask and answer all title questions in the unit: When did you start school?, What did you do last weekend?, Where did you go last vacation?, etc. Monitor closely for accuracy. If time allows, they can reuse the flowchart in lesson 7.3 to ask and answer questions about last weekend / last vacation.

Language bananas, chocolate, oil, salt… I really like bananas, but I hate vinegar. We need some milk, fish and chicken. I need to buy some eggs, coffee, sugar… Why did you buy all this food in the fridge?

Tip For extra practice on pronunciation, go to AS p. 163 and ask sts to notice the schwa sounds.

8.1 on

8.1 Let’s see. We need bananas and chocolate… oil and salt… uh… maybe some spaghetti? Yes, definitely some spaghetti and some tea. Oh, and I have to get tomatoes and vinegar.

1 Vocabulary: Food and Drink A

Point to the photo on p. 84 and elicit the word “kitchen.” Draw sts’ attention to the fridge and counter and for each of them ask: What do you call it? Focus on the food on the counter and elicit food and drink vocabulary. Point to the list of words in 1A and have sts match them to the items on the counter in the picture. These are familiar food words and / or cognates. The rest are introduced in 1C.

Cultural note fridge = refrigerator Write banana on the board and highlight the first and the last a. Drill the pronunciation of the word and draw sts’ attention to the schwa sound /Ǩ/. Do the same with pajamas and remind sts they have the picture words in the Pronunciation Chart on p. 154-155. Read World of English with the whole class for more information about the /Ǩ/ sound. Drill the sound (e.g. mime hitting yourself in the stomach so they make the right unstressed “uh” noise!), the two picture words from the Pronunciation Chart (bananas, pajamas) and the sentence with bold letters in World of English . If time allows, elicit other examples they know with schwas too. Tell them all highlighted letters (in yellow) in 1A have schwa /Ǩ/ sounds. In pairs, sts try to pronounce all the words on the list. Monitor closely for accuracy and offer help / model pronunciation if necessary. The columns “Spelling” and “Pron.” will only be used in 1B. Play 8.1 for sts to notice how words are pronounced. Conduct a repetition. Ask: Who is Jeff talking to? (himself)

21. bananas 17. chocolate 19. oil 18. salt 15. spaghetti 22. tea 16. tomatoes 20. vinegar

B

Elicit some comparisons between the words in 1A and how they are spelled and pronounced in the sts’ mother tongue. These first eight are presented in a separate group because most are cognates for Latin learners. In pairs, sts rate the eight words in A as having D (a very different spelling or pronunciation to L1), S (similar spelling or pronunciation to L1) or V (very similar spelling or pronunciation to L1). Classcheck with answers on the board.

Tip There may be some disagreements but try to keep the productive focus on English and how it is pronounced rather than on the mother tongue. After all they don’t need to learn these words, as they all know them already. Remember, you don’t need to say or use the words in your L1 yourself, merely ask sts to mentally compare with what they already have in their minds in order to focus on what’s easy / difficult for them, and so focus (and celebrate!) accordingly. There is no key for this exercise as it obviously depends on what their mother tongue is.

C

Now focus on the food and drink items in the fridge. These are in a second group because most are noncognates for Latinos. Point to some of the items and elicit how to say them in English. Name what sts do not know and ask Do you like it / them? How often do you eat / drink…? about a few of them.

8.1 Individually, sts match 1-14 to the items in the fridge. Sts listen to 8.2 to check. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. In pairs, sts try to pronounce the words. Monitor closely and offer help whenever needed. Play

8.2 for sts to notice how the words are pronounced.

Extra activity Ask sts to think about their own fridges back home and think about what they need to buy. Allow them some time to write a shopping list. In pairs, sts compare their lists, e.g. “I need to buy (some) milk, eggs, etc.”. The some / any distinction is taught in 8.2 so don’t force it too much here.

8.4 Notice the sentence stress. S Jeff, we’re traveling tomorrow. Why did you buy all this food? J Just some fruit for your diet: apples and oranges. S I don’t like apples. J But you like oranges. And I got some onions and potatoes too. S Potatoes? I can’t eat them. I’m on a diet, hellooo! J OK, but I also got some chicken and fish. S Well, we can freeze those. But what do we do with the milk, cheese and butter? J Sorry, Sandra…That’s not all… I got some lettuce and carrots for your salad, too.

8.2 Notice s = /]/ or /V/. J We need some milk, fish and chicken… oh, and some apples and carrots, Sandra loves carrots! Then some eggs and lettuce. Oh, and butter and onions. Oh, finally, some cheese, oranges, potatoes… do we need sugar? Oh, yes, and some sugar. 2. apples 10. bread 5. butter 13. carrots 6. cheese 8. chicken 7. eggs 9. fish 4. lettuce 11. milk 12. onions 3. oranges 14. potatoes 1. sugar

D

Focus on the photos of the couple on the fridge. Elicit that they are recently married and tell sts that they are Jeff and Sandra. Sts listen to 8.3 and answer questions 1-3 about Sandra and Jeff. Have sts paircheck their answers before checking answers with the whole class. Ask: Have you tried freezing bananas? Listen again and / or do the silent letter AS task on p. 163 if time allows.

8.3 Notice the silent letters. J = Jeff S = Sandra S Jeff! I’m home, baby. J Hi, hon. S Oh my God! J What? What’s the problem? S What’s all this food on the counter? J What do you mean, “all this?” S Well, to be precise, one chocolate bar, tomatoes, uh, some spaghetti… J Oh, that? S I’m not finished! There’s also some salt, some tea, oil and vinegar here… J I can explain… S And—8, 9, no, 10 bananas. You know I can’t eat bananas! J There was a special offer on bananas, darling. We can always freeze them! S Freeze bananas? Are you crazy? 1. Jeff, the husband, did the shopping. 2. Sandra is not happy because Jeff bought too much food. 3. Jeff bought ten bananas because there was a special offer on bananas.

E

Sts listen to part two of Sandra and Jeff’s conversation. Ask them to notice which two items are not mentioned. Paircheck. Play it again if you notice part of the class could not get it. Classcheck. Ask sts: Do you keep all these items in your fridge?

S Hm, I guess I can make a salad for dinner. And why all those eggs!! J Well, I can make an omelet! S Yeah, right! Your specialty! Jeff, darling, remember. Never irritate a woman on a diet! We can be dangerous! But, wait —what’s that doing in the refrigerator? Sugar and bread are not mentioned in the dialog.

F

Point to item 1 (sugar) in the fridge and ask sts if they also keep it in the fridge.

Tip Get sts to guess the answers first as a way of ensuring they fully understand the questions / tasks and have tried to imagine in advance what will be said. Sts hear the last part of Sandra and Jeff’s conversation. Sts listen to 8.5 and mark true (T) or false (F) for sentences 1-5. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. To end this part of the Jeff and Sandra story, ask: What do you think of them? (they return several times in this unit).

Extra activity Ask sts to cover p. 85 (with a sheet of paper). Focus on the food and drink items on p. 84. In pairs, sts talk about what they like or don’t like on the page. Monitor closely and make sure they don’t say “this” and “that,” but actually name items they want to talk about. Encourage peer correction when sts can’t remember or pronounce an item from the picture. At the end, ask sts to remember and report their partner’s preferences to the whole class.

8.5 Notice /ș/ vs. /X/. J In the refrigerator? Where? S Here! Look! You put bread and sugar in the refrigerator! What are they doing there? J Uh, I don’t know. S You don’t know? J Well, my mother always puts sugar and bread in the refrigerator, but I don’t know why. So I called to ask—but she didn’t answer. S Not your mother, not again. We’re married now, remember? You don’t have to ask your mother. J Yes, but I love you and I just want everything to be perfect for you, darling. S Oh, Jeff, that’s really romantic…

G Write the word city on the board and elicit its pronunciation. Remind sts that British and American English have lots of differences between them, e.g. the way the letter t can be pronounced. Play 8.6 for sts to listen and read World of English . Drill both American and British pronunciation of the words in the box and ask Which do you prefer? Why? Have sts read the Song line at the top of p. 85 and draw their attention to how the t in gotta and refrigerator are pronounced in the song “Money for Nothing” by the British band Dire Straits. Make it clear they need to be able to understand both, but the choice of which to say is entirely up to them.

What’s your opinion of this song? Do you know any other songs by Dire Straits?

Song line: We gotta install microwave ovens. Custom kitchens deliveries. We gotta move these refrigerators. We gotta move these… Song: “Money for Nothing” Artist: Dire Straits (UK) Year: 1985

8.2

Are you on a diet at the moment? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use countable and uncountable nouns to talk about food.

Lesson 8.2

Function Language Talking about portions of food. I usually have a slice of bread and a piece of fruit for breakfast. Listening to a woman talk about her diet. For lunch, it’s a bowl of rice, two spoons of beans… Talking about your own diet. For dinner, I often have a bowl of rice and some fish or chicken. Vocabulary: Portions of food (a bowl of rice, 2 spoons of beans, ½ pound of meat, a can of diet soda, etc.). Healthy / junk food. liquids. Grammar: Countable and uncountable nouns. Quantifiers – some in sentences and any in and .

Warm-up Play the Memory Race game with food and drink items. Sts have one minute to write down all the items (from the previous lesson or not) they can remember. Classcheck with answers on the board. Include (s) after each countable noun to help with the next activity: apple(s), banana(s), etc.

2 Grammar: Countable vs. Uncountable Nouns A

Refer to the list of words on the board (from the warmup above). Elicit which items are countable or uncountable but do not provide sts with answers yet.

Books open. Focus on the task in 2A and have sts underline all the plural words in 1A and 1C on p. 85. Ask: Why aren’t the other words (oil, vinegar, tea, etc.) in the plural?

The eight plural words are: bananas, tomatoes, apples, carrots, eggs, onions, oranges, potatoes. The other words are not pluralized because they are uncountable, or mass nouns. These substances cannot be divided into separate elements—e.g. “vinegar” cannot be counted, but “2 spoons of vinegar” or “2 bottles of vinegar” can be counted. In this case we count the unit of measurement.

Tip To help with the concept, mime the futility of trying to count sugar, rice or water.

B

Have sts read sentences 1-2 and, in pairs, answer the questions: “Do we usually count these food items? Which word indicates ‘an unspecified quantity of’?”

Salt, tea, oil, vinegar and fish are not usually counted. When they are counted it means different types, e.g. a variety of teas. Chicken is also not usually counted when it is a food item, however you can buy two whole chickens from the supermarket and a farmer can have a number of chickens. The word “some” indicates “an unspecified quantity of.”

C Tell sts that uncountable nouns are usually liquids, items that come in (small) parts or items you eat only a part of. In pairs, sts add two more items to each category. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Have sts read the 5 box and Common Mistakes to discover other uncountable nouns which are not related to food and drink. They might be surprised by some of these, but it is worth anticipating problems they will otherwise have in the future. If some sts remember, they can help to correct the others that don’t remember the rule.

Tip For further practice, go to Grammar on p. 132.

Liquids water, ice, oil, tea (drink), milk.

D

Items that come in (small) parts rice, salt, spaghetti, sugar, tea (product).

Items you eat only a part of bread, chicken, chocolate, butter, cheese, fish, lettuce.

MAKE IT PERSONAL In small groups, sts take turns asking

and answering questions 1-3. Encourage them to use some for uncountable nouns and say countable words in the plural as in the examples.

3 Vocabulary: Portions of Food A

Ask the whole class: Do you remember Sandra from last lesson? Tell sts she’s on a diet. Focus on the words “This time, be patient!” and ask: Do you have to be patient to go on a diet?

Have sts read the lesson Song line at the top of p. 87, which also refers to the topic of “being patient.” Ask sts: Do you remember this song? Who recorded it? Do you like this song? Do you know their music? Is patience countable or uncountable?

Song line: A little patience, yeah, yeah. Need a little patience, yeah, yeah. Just a little patience, yeah, yeah. Some more patience Song: “Patience” Band: Guns N’ Roses (USA) Year: 1989

Sts hear Sandra recording day 1 of her video diary of her new diet. Point to the headings of her notes (After waking up, Breakfast, Lunch, etc.) and elicit what she has for each meal. Elicit food vocabulary from pictures 1-10 and get them to match the photo to the first item.

Tip Sts can probably match up all the words from the food photos alone, but the aim of the audio is to introduce the quantities / portions, so use the audio to confirm / correct their guesses as well as the pronunciation. Sts listen to

8.7 and match pictures 1-10 to the diet items.

Paircheck. Classcheck. Ask: Which item doesn’t have a photo?

8.2 (one can of diet soda). Where in have you seen a can before? (unit 4, the lesson on can as a verb). Notice that Sandra writes “1 bowl of salad” because she needs to remember the quantity. We only use 1 when the quantity is important. Usually we say “a bowl of salad.”

8.7 Notice /ǨY/ connections and the other /Ǩ/ (schwas). S So, today is day one of my new diet. After waking up, I have a bottle of mineral water, and that’s all! For breakfast, I can have a cup of coffee, a slice of bread and a piece of fruit! Wow! For lunch, it’s a bowl of rice, one spoon of beans and just one little can of diet soda. Booo! In the afternoon I get a snack! Hurrah! A granola bar! Then for dinner, I get a bowl of salad, half a pound of meat, and a glass of juice. And that’s it! But this time it’s going to work!

Cultural note 1 lb = 1 pound = 453,6 grams ½ lb = half a pound= 226,8 grams (10) 1 bottle of mineral water (6) 1 cup of coffee (3) 1 slice of bread (4) 1 piece of fruit (7) 1 bowl of rice (5) 1 spoon of beans (9) 1 granola bar (2) 1 bowl of salad (8) ½ pound of meat (1) 1 glass of juice There’s no photo of one can of diet soda.

B

In pairs, sts try to predict possible answers to questions 1-4. Play 8.8 for them to check if they guessed all the answers right. Classcheck. Explore the content too. Ask: Do you always eat meat for lunch? Do you like the same food as Sandra? Then listen again. Ask: How much more did you understand the second time? Do you know anyone who keeps a video diary?

N N S N S N S N S N S N S N S N S N S N

8.8 Notice /IǨU/ and /ǨY/. = Nelly S = Sandra Hi, Sandra. Want some chocolate? No, thanks. I’m on a diet. Oops, sorry. How’s it going? Great. I’m keeping a video diary. It really helps. So, what do you usually have for lunch? I just have some rice and beans for lunch. Rice and beans? That’s… unusual. Uh huh, but I can’t eat any meat for lunch. Only for dinner. No meat for lunch? Wow! That’s not easy! You really need a lot of patience. I know. But I have to lose weight. I gained fifteen pounds and Jeff is not happy… Uh… Well, maybe if you stop eating sugar… I never eat any sugar. I don’t like sweets. How about pasta? Is there any pasta in your diet? Well, that’s a no-no too. And I love spaghetti with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese. And, of course, you are not allowed any cheese, right? Right. Oh, I’m sorry. Do you want some Coke? Is it diet? Yes.

S Then yes, please. I can only drink one can of soda a day, but it’s the best part of my day. Cheers! N Cheers! 1. Sandra can’t eat: chocolate, pasta / spaghetti or cheese. (She can eat meat but not for lunch and she never eats sugar—even when she is not on a diet). 2. She is on a diet because she has gained 15 pounds and her husband, Jeff, isn’t happy. (1 lb (pound) = 0.453592 kg so she has gained 6.8 kg). 3. The best part of her diet is the one can of soda per day.

4 Grammar: Quantifiers A

Sts listen to 8.9 and complete the sentences 1-5 extracted from the listening. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Have sts decide in pairs how to best complete the 5 box about the use of some and any. Draw sts’ attention to the exceptional use of some in questions when we offer people some food or drink, as shown in Common Mistakes . For a quick practice activity, get sts to practice offering and accepting / refusing the food in the photos here and in the previous lesson. Do you want some bread / rice, etc.? Yes, please / No, thanks.

Tip For further practice, go to Grammar on p. 132. 8.9 Focus on the link after eat and there. I just have some rice and beans for lunch. I can’t eat any meat for lunch. I never have any sugar. Is there any pasta in your diet? Do you want some Coke? 1. I just have some rice and beans for lunch. 2. I can’t eat any meat for lunch. 3. I never have any sugar. 4. Is there any pasta in your diet? 5. Do you want some Coke? 5 box 1. Use some in phrases and when you expect a answer. 2. Use any in phrases and .

B

Individually, sts circle the best options in the dialog. Paircheck. Play 8.10 so sts can check their answers. Ask for sts’ opinion about Sandra’s diet: Is her diet really going to work?

8.10 Pay attention to the pronunciation of t in these N S N S N S N S

words. So, Sandra, what do you have when you get up? I only have some water. Wow! Don’t you eat any food? Yeah, I have some bread and some fruit two hours later, for breakfast. Two hours later? And can you drink any beer or wine? Never! I can’t drink any alcohol. Why? We’re going out on Saturday night, but you’re not drinking any beer! Well, I can have a break from my diet on special occasions!

Wow! Don’t you eat any food?

Sandra Yeah, I have some bread and some fruit two hours later, for breakfast. Nelly

Two hours later? And can you drink any beer or wine?

Sandra Never! I can’t drink any alcohol. Why? Nelly

We’re going out on Saturday night, but you’re not drinking any beer!

Sandra Well, I can have a break from my diet on special occasions!

C

MAKE IT PERSONAL For two minutes, sts look at photos from lessons 8.1 and 8.2 and make some notes about their daily diet. In pairs, sts tell each other what they usually have for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. Tell them

they need to use at least two quantifiers from 3A (a slice of, a cup of, etc.). Encourage them to say whether their partner’s diet is healthy or unhealthy. If there is time, they can swap partners and do it again.

Weaker classes Write prompts on the board For breakfast, I usually have a cup of…, For lunch, I usually… so sts know where to start from.

Extra writing Sts can write their daily diet following Sandra’s model in 3A.

8.3

How often do you eat chocolate? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to use quantifiers with countable and uncountable nouns. Sts also learn to say large numbers.

Lesson 8.3

Function Language Reading and talking about sugar / sweet items. When I eat a lot of chocolate, I compensate the next day. Listening to a couple decide what to have for lunch. Are you ready for lunch? Listening to information about a Nutrition Facts table. How much cholesterol does the vegetarian burrito have? Saying large numbers. 68,087. Talking about your attitude towards food. I eat everything and never worry about calories. Vocabulary: Words related to sugar (sugar, sweet, candy, dessert, chocolate, mousse, fruit, Nutella). Nutrition Facts (calories, cholesterol, total fat, fiber, protein, sodium). Large numbers. Grammar: Quantifiers “a lot of”, “a few” and “a little”.

Warm-up Books open to p. 89. Have sts read the lesson Song line and see who in the class knows the song / band, where they know the song from, if they can sing it. Ask sts: Do you eat a lot of sugar? What’s your favorite sweet item?

Song line: Sugar, oh honey, honey. You are my candy girl, and you got me wanting you. Song: “Sugar Sugar” Band: The Archies (UK) Year: 1969

Point to the title question on p. 88 and have sts briefly ask and answer it in pairs. Classcheck. In groups of three, sts list all foods involving chocolate they can think of (chocolate cake, mousse, brownie, ice cream, milkshake, cookies, etc.). Have sts share their lists with the whole class and say which chocolate recipe is their favorite.

5 Reading A

Focus on Cyber English . Sts read the acronyms in

the box and elicit any (= NE) other abbreviations sts can remember. Focus on the photo of Nelly. Ask: What do you remember about her? She’s Sandra’s friend from the previous lesson. She offered Sandra chocolate there too. Sts read the text for gist and underline at least six different words related to sugar. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Drill the pronunciation of all the words.

sugar sweet candy dessert chocolate mousse fruit Nutella

B

Sts re-read and, if you wish, they can listen to the text

and in pairs decide whether sentences 1-5 are true (T) or false (F). Get them to give evidence from the text to justify their answers. Classcheck. In small groups, sts tell each other how similar or different they are compared to Nelly and “Forever Rocher” (who comments on Nelly’s post). Ask: Do you know anybody like these women? Do you eat a lot after you fight with people?

Cultural note The person who wrote on Nelly’s blog signed Forever Rocher. That is a reference to the manufacturer Ferrero, the producer of Ferrero Rocher, Nutella and other chocolate products. Weaker classes Conduct the suggested speaking activity above in teacher-class pattern, not student-student, as they might struggle with language for this task. Ask sts: Do you also love sweet items like Nelly? Do you need large portions? How much do you eat? When you eat sugar in excess on one day, do you compensate the next day? Does chocolate make you feel good?

1. F (“only” is too strong) 2. T (“quality, not quantity”) 3. T (“… I just eat some salad or a few pieces of fruit the next day”) 4. F (the emoticon shows the answer) 5. T (“OMG, it really helps”)

C

Sts find and circle the six examples of a little, a few and a lot of in Nelly’s blog in 5A. Also, ask them to underline the word / noun that follows each expression. In pairs, sts decide if the nouns which follow a little, a few and a lot of are countable or uncountable, and then, complete the rules in the 5 box. Classcheck. Read World of English about the uses of a few and a little. Give them some prompts (e.g. apples / sugar / honey / bananas / pencils / paper) and elicit if the given nouns would go with a little or a few.

1. Use a little with 3. Use a lot of with

nouns. 2. Use a few with or nouns.

nouns.

D

Elicit some possible ways of saying phrases 1-6 with a little, a few and a lot of. Have some sts read the dialogs in the speech bubbles to the whole class. In pairs, sts create their own conversations about phrases 1-6. Monitor closely for accurate uses of a little, a few and a lot of. At the end, have one or two pairs act out one of their dialogs for the whole class.

6 Listening A

Elicit what sts remember about Sandra and Jeff and from Sandra’s diet (lesson 8.2). Ask: What can / can’t she eat? Tell them Sandra and Jeff are going to have lunch together. Sts listen to 8.12 and fill in the blanks 1-8 with J (Jeff) or S (Sandra). Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Do they like / eat a lot of Mexican food?

8.3 8.12 Notice the dark l vs. normal l. J = Jeff S = Sandra J Hey, Sandra. Ready for lunch? S Yeah, hon. I’m so hungry! J Come on! Let’s go to that Mexican restaurant on the corner. I’m dying for a burrito. S I don’t think that’s a good idea. My diet, remember? J Oh, darling, burritos are healthy! Look, I’m googling the nutritional table. S Oh, I hate those lists! J But they have important information! See? A chicken burrito is probably the best option for you. S How many calories does it have? I can’t see anything without my glasses. J Um, let’s see. It only has three hundred seventy calories. S Aw! That’s a lot. J Then the vegetarian burrito is the best. It only has beans and cheese and three hundred and fifty calories. S Ugh! Beans, beans, beans! I’m living on beans now. The doctor told me to watch my cholesterol, too. How much cholesterol does the vegetarian burrito have? J Only five milligrams. S And the others? J Thirty-five and twenty-five milligrams. S That’s a lot, but, like, do I have to eat the boring, healthy option? J Babe, this diet was your idea. And you know the vegetarian burrito is perfect for you. S I guess you’re right. J Well, I’m having the chicken burrito. S And I’m having the meat burrito. J But… darling. S I can’t live without meat, Jeff. And we just spent a lot of calories checking all these numbers, darling, so I think it’s OK! 1J

Tip This listening is quite long so they may need / welcome the opportunity to listen again. A nice extra task is to ask sts to pick out some of the most useful phrases from the dialog and see if sts can finish them from memory. I’m dying… I can’t see anything… The doctor told me to… I can’t live without…

B

Point to the Nutrition Facts table and check if sts are familiar with the vocabulary in the first column (calories, total fat, cholesterol, sodium, etc.). Ask Which burrito is the healthiest / best for Sandra’s diet? Chicken, Beans & Rice? Meat, Beans & Rice? Or Beans & Cheese? and listen to sts’ first opinions.

Play 8.12 for sts to complete the table. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. In pairs, have sts answer questions 1-4. Classcheck.

A chicken burrito has 370 calories; a vegetarian one has 350. The vegetarian burrito has 5 mg of cholesterol and the meat one has 25 mg.

C Sts cover the table in 6B. In pairs, sts tell each other all they remember about the ingredients of the three types of burritos. They then uncover and check their own performance. D Write the numbers 2,500 and 456 and elicit how these numbers are said in English. Read Common Mistakes and World of English with sts. Clear up any doubts before sts say numbers 1-4. Tip If suitable, make sts aware of the fact that some languages use “.” (dot) instead of the “,” (comma) used in English in numbers with four or more digits (e.g. 2,000 = two thousand). The “.” (dot) in English is used before fractional parts, e.g. 7.4 (seven dot four). In pairs, sts practice saying the figures 1-4. Monitor closely for accuracy and help them out if necessary. Classcheck.

Tip Fast finishers can challenge each other with more numbers too. 1,275 34,912 68,087 911,354 73,100

one thousand, two hundred (and) seventy-five. thirty-four thousand, nine hundred (and) twelve. sixty-eight thousand, (and) eighty-seven. nine hundred (and) eleven thousand, three hundred (and) fifty-four. seventy-three thousand, one hundred.

The “and” is always used in British English; in American English, it is sometimes dropped. The “and” goes after the first number in a group of three and you don’t need to say it if the following two numbers are both 0.

E

MAKE IT PERSONAL In trios, sts use the prompts to ask

Do you…? questions. Get them to interview you first to set this up and practice pronunciation. Ask sts to report their partners’ answers to the whole class. Is there anyone in the group that has a similar attitude to food as Sandra? Focus on the two example answers too. Monitor closely to spot the main errors and praise a lot too.

7 Grammar: How Much vs. How Many A Explore the photo. Ask Who can you see? (Jeff and Sandra.) What do you remember about them? Where are they? What are they doing?, etc. Play 8.13 for sts to listen and read the dialog. Ask sts to study the two questions Sandra asked and, in pairs, circle the correct options in sentences 1-5 from the 5 box. Classcheck with answers on the board. Tip With a stronger class, do this as a “dictagloss.” Have sts close their books, and they listen and write down as much of the dialog as they can, then paircheck. Replay the dialog and repeat procedure two or three more times. Then have sts open their books, check their spelling and see how much they got right. Tip For further practice, go to Grammar on p. 132. 1. how much 2. how many 3. how many 4. how much 5. A lot (of)

MAKE IT PERSONAL Sts choose one of the question

options, 1-10, and then mingle to ask the whole class and produce a class survey. Focus on the speech bubble to show them what they should be able to say by the end of the activity. Elicit what the question was: “How many showers do you have at home / in your apartment?”. Sts interview each other about eating habits and lifestyle. Make sure they make eye contact and use natural intonation when asking questions 1-10. Ask a few sts to report their findings.

F Sts do a quiz to check how much they know about what they eat. Paircheck. Play 8.15 to check. Were there any surprises? How many did they get right? Drill pronunciation for the words with highlighted letters. Tip Focus on the photos and elicit / drill the items they can see (potato chips, lettuce, strawberries, milk, a kiwi, a pear, a knife and fork, hands). Focus on the title and elicit some answers from sts.

8.15 Notice the /K/ sound. W W M W

= woman M = man OK, number 1. What do you think? Chocolate? Yep. Chocolate has one hundred and forty-five calories per hundred grams. The healthy option is potato—only seventy-six calories. Next? M Tea?… Or coffee? W No, you don’t know much about food. Tea and coffee can help hydrate you. Alcohol dehydrates the body, so the answer is wine. Sorry! Question three?

M Milk? W Yeah! Wow—you know something! Milk has a lot of nutrients, and is a food, a food that you can drink! Now lettuce—the ultimate diet food. M Zero? W Sorry, it actually contains eighteen calories per hundred grams. Question 5? M Spinach? W No! M But what about Popeye? W Maybe Popeye didn’t know anything about food either! It’s beans. They have a lot more protein than spinach. OK, do you know anything about vitamin C? M Uh, yeah, it’s good for you! W Yes, but which fruit doesn’t have a lot of vitamin C? M Strawberries? W No. The answer is pears. But the good news is pears contain no fat and a lot of fiber. So, just one point? Now, do you want something to eat? M Uh, no, thanks. I’m really not hungry. 1. d

Sts listen to an ad for Top Toppings. Play 8.16. Sts listen and check which four dishes on the menu in A are mentioned. Paircheck. Classcheck. Use the AS 8.16 on p. 164 to clear up any doubts. Did they like the ad / find it convincing? Would they like to go to Top Toppings this weekend?

8.16 Notice the alliterations.

Get some feedback on what they have managed to learn. Ask the lesson title question and see what they say. Focus on the photos. Elicit all the food items they can see (fish, sauce, lettuce / salad, fruit salad, etc ). Ask: What’s the name of the restaurant? (Top Toppings) Does it look good? Now ask Are you hungry now? to see if anybody has changed their mind. Sts work in groups of three or four sts. Within their groups, sts help each other find the answers to questions 1-6 on the menu. Walk around the classroom and offer help when necessary. Classcheck. Drill pronunciation as necessary too.

This is Wonderful Weekend at Top Toppings! Special savings on our fabulous favorites! Our special starter is the Chopped Chicken: a nice salad made with fresh lettuce and tomato.

8.5 Tip To add fun, it is probably best to be the server yourself first to briskly / humorously show sts what to do and then to move quickly through the different stages. Extra writing Sts could write up their own version of the complete restaurant role-play at a restaurant of their choice. See if they can get an English version of the menu, e.g. online, so they learn a few more words as they do so.

Story 1 I love Gnarls Barkley, so when I read about a writing competition to win tickets for his show I was really excited. I wrote about how his songs make me happy or sad and I sent the letter. I didn’t think about it anymore, but imagine my surprise when, two weeks later, a letter arrived. I couldn’t believe it! I won two tickets to their show. I took my sister and we had a really good time.

Tina I’m thirsty. Is there any juice in the fridge? Carl No, we didn’t buy any juice this week. But, look, there are some oranges. Do you want me to make you some juice? Tina Yes, thanks. Uh, and did we buy any cookies? Carl No, but there are still some cookies in the cabinet. Tina Nice!

Story 2 I saw Radiohead about two years ago when they visited my city, and the best thing was—I had a VIP pass! The band came on and they started with “Bloom” from their new album. Not everybody knew the words, but I did and sang really loudly. They finished with an old song—“Karma Police.” After the show, I went backstage and met the band. They were fantastic.

By 1956, he was an international success. His style was a combination of many musical influences, and his dance moves shocked parents and attracted young people all over the world. He was a celebrity, but that didn’t stop him from joining the military in 1958. Elvis went to Germany for 18 months with the army, and there he met Priscilla in 1959. She moved to the United States to be with him, but they only got married in 1967. Their marriage didn’t last very long: they got divorced in 1972, when their daughter, Lisa Marie, was only 4 years old.

9 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 9 are means of transportation, more jobs, be + going to and Present Continuous for plans and future arrangements, as well as common requests (for permission). These are presented through the contexts of people talking about how they got / went to the music festival venue, how sts commute to and from places, listening / reading about plans and life changes, and about jobs which are likely to be in high demand in the future.

How did you get here today? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to talk about how they get to places. Sts also learn to talk about a range of occupations.

Lesson 9.1

Function Listening / Talking about how people got to a music festival.

Talking about how you get / got to various places. Listening / Talking about jobs / occupations.

Language By car. I drove. How did she get there? By bike. That’s right. She cycled. What’s the best way for you to get to your usual supermarket? How did you get here today? What do you do? I’m a cook. I’m the manager in a restaurant.

Vocabulary: Means of Transportation. Occupations. Grammar: How do / did you get to…? By boat, by car, on foot, etc. What do you do? questions. Suffixes -er, -ian, -ist in occupations.

Warm-up In pairs, sts take turns asking and answering the title questions from unit 8 (“What do you have in your fridge?”, “Are you on a diet at the moment?”, etc.). Encourage sts to expand on the topic / give more details when appropriate, e.g. “Yes, I am (on a diet). I can’t eat sweets or junk food for a month!” For a change, get them to look forward and ask the title questions in this unit too, to see what they can say and build motivation for this penultimate unit.

1 Vocabulary: Transportation A

Books open. To set / introduce the context of transportation,

read the lesson Song line at the top of p. 97 with sts and elicit the name of the song / singer.

Paircheck. Classcheck and drill the pronunciation of all phrases in the first column. Elicit which two verbs have the same vowel sound (drove / rode). Point again to photos 1-12 and help sts find the right match for each of the phrases in the second column in A. Drill pronunciation. Play 9.1 for sts to listen to the people in photos 1-12 talk about how they got to the NYC Music Festival. Use photo 8 to teach the meaning of crew. Read World of English and elicit any other phrases they know with get. Then, sts move on to practice 1B.

Tip To emphasize the use of get in the question but not the answer, invent some additional common mistakes for sts to correct with you on the board, e.g. How did you get to school? I got by car. (I came by car.)

Song line: Oh, I want to get away. I wanna fly away, yeah, yeah, yeah! Song: “Fly Away” Artist: Lenny Kravitz (USA) Year: 1998

Ask: What does get away mean? (escape) Tell sts the people in photos 1-12 are all going to the same place / event—the New York City Music Festival. Focus on Common Mistakes on p. 96 and highlight the use of by + car but on + foot.

Tip If there is time, use the photos to review Present Continuous + clothes / actions, e.g. He / She’s wearing / talking / laughing, etc. Focus on the first column of nouns (which are cognates in several languages) and the past tense forms of the verbs that go with them. Have sts match them to photos 1-12.

9.1 Notice the word stress. Int Hello and welcome to the NYC music festival! So, how did you all get here? 1 I came by bike. I rode 30 miles. 2 We took the train. 3 We took the bus. 4 I came on foot. 5 By motorcycle. 6 One of the bands came by boat! 7 By car. I drove. 8 The crews all came by truck! 9 We came by ferry. 10 I flew. I’m from Japan and my plane landed this morning. 11 Most of the bands came by helicopter, I think. 12 I came by subway.

Elicit or briefly drill How did (subject) get there? questions by pointing to different people / photos on p. 96, e.g. point to photo 1 and say “She” – How did she get there? Point to photo 10 (“They”) and elicit the question.

Tip Model the activity with a student: T (Point to photo 10) How did they get there? St By plane. T (Rephrase) That’s right, they flew.

B A B A

Refer to the speech bubbles in B and make sure sts understand they also need to rephrase their partner’s answers by saying That’s right… and, alternatively, use either the means of transportation or verbs in 1A. In pairs, sts point to photos 1-12, follow the model and test each other. Monitor closely for accuracy.

C

MAKE IT PERSONAL Swap partners. Draw sts’ attention

to the use of “come (back)” here and “go (back)” there in the 5 box. In pairs, sts interview each other with questions 1 and 2 (a, b, c). Focus on the example in the speech bubble and another use of “away” from the line “I live (X) km away (from here).” Ask sts to report their partner’s answers.

Tip With a stronger class, put these phrases on the board It depends (on the weather). When it rains / it’s very hot, I . It depends how I feel. When I’m tired / in a hurry, I . It depends what day it is. On weekends, I

Oh, nice to meet you. Er… And what do you do, Jake? I’m the manager at Margaritas bar in town. I don’t know Margaritas. How do you get there? I usually take the 14 bus. It takes you right there. What about you? What’s your… uh… occupation? I’m a dentist. Oh, really? That’s interesting… And how do you get to work? I always drive to work, but there’s so much traffic! I know! It’s terrible!! Last week…

2 Notice the final consonants. C Hi, Marilyn! How are you? D I’m great, thanks. I’m so happy you’re here, Ken. C Cool party. And, wow, this is a beautiful house… uh… are you an interior designer? D No, but thanks… I’m a sales assistant in a clothing boutique. C Oh, really? Which one? D It’s called Ambience on Church Street. Do you know it? C Yeah, I cycle to work and I ride past it every day! D It’s great that you go by bike. I usually take the subway. And what’s your job? C I’m a cook in an Italian restaurant. D Mmmmm… I love Italian food…

.

and get sts to use them and be more adventurous in their answers to discover greater fluency in themselves. This can easily be turned into a class survey, e.g. a show of hands to find out the most popular ways to get to places, the most popular supermarkets, etc.

2 Listening A

Point to the photos and elicit the occupations of the four professionals. Provide sts with vocabulary they do not know and have them write the jobs under each photo using the words given. Drill pronunciation. Focus on Common Mistakes . Remind sts “a cooker” is the British word for “a stove.” Say: A person with no job is unemployed. Ask: Do you say I’m retired or I’m a retired? Why? (no article for adjectives)

Jake: a manager Jane: a dentist Marilyn: a sales assistant

B A B A

Ken: a cook

B Point to Jake in A, ask How do you think he gets to work? What about Jane? and elicit some guesses from sts. Play 9.2 for sts to fill in the blanks (“Gets there: ”) in 2A. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask What else did you hear? to check their perception / what else they managed to pick up.

Jake goes by bus. Jane goes by car. Ken goes by bicycle. Marilyn goes by subway.

C

In pairs, sts try to remember the answers to questions 1-6 (from the track they’ve just heard). Play 9.2 again so sts can check their answers / match the questions and answers. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask again: What else did you hear? (The names of the places, who is flirting with who, etc.) Read World of English with sts and drill the pronunciation of the professions in the box. Elicit pronunciation of those which don’t have the stress in pink (because sts have already seen them earlier in the book). Elicit some other professions ending in -er (e.g. teacher, driver), -ian (e.g. politician, magician) and -ist (e.g. therapist, psychologist). Ask Do you stress the equivalent suffixes in your language? to highlight only key differences.

D Sts work in pairs or stand up and mingle with as many classmates as possible. Ask the class to imagine they are at a party. Allow some preparation time so sts can come up with a zany, famous or imaginary character (an occupation, a name, nationality, etc.). Sts role-play dialogs similar to the ones in 9.2. At the end, ask sts to tell you all they can remember about their partner / people they talked to. Did they flirt with anybody?

What’s your occupation? Lesson Aims: Sts learn to talk in some depth about occupations and their good / bad points. Sts also learn to talk about distances and weight. Language He never takes the bus to work. His bag weighs ten pounds. He runs eight miles. Talking about unusual habits / ways to commute to work. My father cycles two kilometers. I never use elevators. Talking about occupations. What does he do? He’s a computer programmer. Doctors work long hours and make a lot of money. What’s your occupation? What do / don’t you like about your job? Vocabulary: Commute to work. Jobs. Make money, work long hours, work alone. Grammar: Countable and Uncountable Nouns. Quantifiers: some in sentences and any in and .

Lesson 9.2

Function Reading / Talking about ways to commute home and to work. Talking about distances and weight.

Warm-up Review Present Simple. Have these prompts written on the board and get sts first to ask you, and then to ask and answer the questions in pairs. Establish the model, e.g., How often do you use elevators? Did you use one yesterday?

Classcheck by asking sts to report their partners answers to the whole class. 1. How often / use elevators? / use one yesterday? 2. How often / you cycle? / cycle yesterday? 3. How much exercise / you do? / exercise yesterday? 4. What / you do to stay in shape? What / do yesterday? 5. How / you get to work? How / get here today?

3 Reading A

Point to the photo of Dr. Houk and ask sts to cover the text. In pairs, sts guess the answers to questions 1-4. Classcheck their predictions. Play 9.3 for sts to (listen and) read the text and check their answers. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Tip It’s a good idea to separate the optional listening from the reading, e.g. sts read first to do 3A then try to guess the pronunciation of the words with pink letters then listen to check (without reading), so they can concentrate on one skill at a time. Remember they can always listen to it again at home. Sts have access to the audio on Portal. Ask Do you agree with the doctor’s ideas? and put eight prompts on the board to help them answer: running to / from work running in all weather conditions running with a bag in his hand fruit is good for you vegetables help with the memory running is a good way to lose weight use alcohol to remove perspiration your sweat is clean Ask sts: Does Dr. Houk carry a bag to work? (yes) How much does Dr. Houk’s bag weigh? (about 10 pounds) Is it a heavy bag? Read World of English about weights and measures for sts to compare pounds (lb) vs. kilos (kg), and also miles (mi) vs. kilometers (km).

1. a

2. b

3. a (8 miles is a little under 13 km)

4. b

B Sts re-read the text in A and in pairs decide whether sentences 1-6 are true (T) or false (F). Classcheck. Encourage sts to justify / correct the false sentences. Extra writing Sts write a paragraph or two giving their opinion about Dr. Houk’s means of going to work. Sts can also mention if they know anyone like him. 1. T

MAKE IT PERSONAL

Ask the whole class Do you know any people, friends or relatives with unusual diets or ways to get exercise? and encourage personal contributions. Use the two examples plus some more of your own to set this up.

4 Vocabulary: Jobs A

Ask sts Do you remember the professions / jobs we learned last class? and elicit what sts can remember (a cook, a manager, a dentist, etc.) Focus on photos a-h and elicit what some of the people do as a profession.

Tip To elicit more language, focus on actions rather than the occupations, e.g. Say: I’m a teacher. I teach, prepare lessons and correct tests. Point to e and say: She takes photos. What about d? (He drives a car.) And b? (She serves food and drinks on planes.) Sts match the jobs to photos a-h, then listen to 9.4 to hear two sts checking the activity to check their own answers. Paircheck. Replay 9.4 if necessary. Classcheck with answers on the board. Drill the pronunciation of all jobs.

Tip Get them to sub-vocally echo the pronunciation of each job as they hear it. Then, in pairs, sts remember and pronounce the words correctly together. Classcheck then have sts test each other. In pairs, sts cover the jobs and take turns pointing to photos a-h and asking “What does he / she do?”, remembering the jobs.

Point to the illustration in the center. Tell sts that it’s an old photo and the teenagers in it are now the adults in photos a-h. In pairs, sts try to guess which job each person in the illustration does today. Tell sts they will listen to Lisa and James talking about their old classmates. Play 9.5 to check their predictions.

9.5 Notice the article a /Ǩ/. S = Simon J = James S Look at this old picture of us from school, James! What are they all doing now? J Well, I’m a cab driver. S Yes, you always loved driving! J And Valerie is a beauty technician. She does make-up, hair, you know—she loves it. S And Marcos is a firefighter. He was so strong in high school. J I know. What about Kristina? What does she do?

In pairs, sts answer questions 1-5 about the jobs in 4A.

Tip Encourage sts to give examples and express as much as they

At the end, they need to tell you / the whole class which job in A they think is the best one and why. Read Common Mistakes with the whole class. Highlight the anticipated errors to avoid them (e.g. win is for competitions, don’t forget articles with jobs, use at + the name of the institution where you work). Check if sts agree with the sentences in the box: “Doctors make / earn a lot of money.” Ask: Which jobs make a lot of money nowadays? Read the second sentence, “I’m a student…”, and remind sts of the use of the indefinite article before professions, e.g. I’m a doctor, an engineer. Have sts read the lesson Song line at the top of p. 99. Check if they recognize the song / singer / band. Ask Do you know this song? Do you know the artist? Where does she (woman from the song line) work? (in an office) What do you think she does? / What’s her occupation? Do you think she likes her job? Would you like to work in an office with lots of people? and encourage sts to guess the job based on the phrase “office where the papers grow.” (Accept sts’ suggestions of jobs which involve a great amount of paperwork: she could be an accountant, a secretary, a lawyer, etc.)

Song line: At the office where the papers grow, she takes a break, drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake. Song: “Another Day” Artist: Paul McCartney & Wings (UK) Year: 1971

I’m going to work in this business.” (I)

C

MAKE IT PERSONAL In pairs, sts take turns agreeing or disagreeing with the predictions in A. Read the speech bubbles to model language for the task. Monitor supportively and hear their ideas. Ask some sts to report their opinions to the whole class. Use a show of hands to find out the majority class opinion on each one, especially any more controversial ones.

Extra writing Sts can write up their opinions on the predicitons for homework and post them on the class website.

What are you going to do next year? Lesson Aims: Sts continue to learn to talk about plans and intentions using going to, and also practice using the Present Continuous to talk about fixed plans. Language I left college in 1975 before graduating. I got engaged after six weeks! I’m going to get a new job soon. Talking about fixed plans and intentions. I’m having dinner with a friend tonight. I’m going to go on a diet on Monday. Talking about New Year’s resolutions. Next year, I’m going to move. Vocabulary: Verbs related to life changes. Leave college, find a partner, get engaged, start a family, move house, lose a job, retire (from a job). Grammar: Going to vs. Present Continuous for plans.

Lesson 9.4

Function Listening and reading about life changes.

Warm-up Recycle Past Simple. In pairs, sts play a

B

miming game. Sts need to mime three things they did yesterday for their partner to guess (by saying e.g. You… watched TV!). Monitor closely for past forms use. At the end, ask sts: What did (partner’s name) do yesterday? Fast finishers can make their plans for tomorrow for them to guess with going to.

Ask one or two sts to report their opinion to the whole class.

8 Vocabulary: Life Changes A

Sts listen to a father, Mr. James, the guy in the cartoon, talking to his son Alex James (the guy in the blog photo). Explore the cartoons. What’s Mr. James doing / wearing / saying in each picture? Focus on phrases 1-11. Sts need to complete them with one word. Play 9.8 for sts to do the task. Paircheck. Play 9.8 once again if necessary. Classcheck with answers on the board. Elicit phrases from the six pictures. If there is time, do AS task 9.8. Ask: Did he enjoy his life? Do you think he’s happy now he’s retired? Do you think his son is going to make the same mistakes?

9.8 Notice three pronunciations of letter o – /ǨX/, /Ǡ/ and /Ǩ/ (schwa). Well, Alex, maybe you can learn a few lessons from your old man. I left college in 1975 before graduating. I couldn’t wait to get married, so I found a partner immediately and got engaged after six weeks! I left home and we got married only a month later. At the same time I started a new job as a photographer in a photography studio. And we started a family! But as you know things didn’t work and your mom and I got divorced when you were five. So I moved. Then I lost my job, because of digital photography, so I changed careers and became a computer programmer—boring, but it paid the bills. I finally retired from my job last week and now I think it’s time for you to make a few changes in your life—I don’t want you to make the same mistakes I did. 1. leave college 2. find a partner 3. get engaged 4. leave home 5. get married 6. start a (new) job 7. start a family 8. get divorced 9. move house 10. lose a job 11. retire (from a job)

Ask sts: At what age do people usually leave college / get married in your country? Individually, sts order phrases 1-11 in A according to what they think is the usual “logical” order in their culture. In pairs, sts compare their sequences, e.g. “People in (my country / city) usually leave home when they’re 25.”

9 Reading A Tell sts the man in the photo is Mr. James’ son, Alex. Do they look similar? Ask sts to notice changes he’s going to make after having talked to his father. He mentions eight changes. Play 9.9 for sts to listen and read the text. Classcheck. Alex is going to: exercise more, get a new job, go back to school, learn a new language, move out of his mother’s house, get an apartment, buy a car, find a new girlfriend.

B

Ask sts: Why is Alex going to do more exercise? (He ate too much over the holidays.) Individually, sts re-read the text and complete the table in B with Alex’s reasons. Paircheck. Classcheck. Help with any pronunciation questions. Then focus on his question and elicit their opinions of him / his plan. Sts read the comment written to Alex and elicit other possible comments to encourage him. Ask sts to write Alex a blog comment to encourage him. Walk around and read / help sts with their texts. In groups of four, sts read each others’ comments and choose the best one to present / read to the whole class. Read the lesson Song line at the top of p. 103 with sts. Check if sts know the song / singer. Focus on the use of gonna.

Song line: Singing don’t worry about a thing, ’cause every little thing is gonna be alright. Song: “Three Little Birds” Artist: Bob Marley (Jamaica) Year: 1977

Note “Everything is gonna be alright” is not really a prediciton, it’s just another use of going to, but only point this out if it arises.

10 Grammar: Going to vs. Present Continuous for Plans Individually, sts mark if the sentences (from 9A) in the Grammar box are in the Present Continuous (PC) or Going To (GT), and if they mean a fixed plan (FP) or an intention (I). Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Read World of English with the whole class either after the grammar activity or mid-way through if they find it hard.

Grammar Box – Going to vs. Present Continuous for Plans Emphasize that going to is the most common way to refer to the future, the one sts should use when they are not sure. If they still worry after this, sing them the song line to make them happy.

a. I’m going to get a new job soon. (GT / I) b. After lunch I’m going to exercise with my friend, Carl. (GT / FP) c. Tonight I’m having dinner with my mom. (PC / FP)

A

Sts find four more examples of Present Continuous and eight more of Going To in Alex’s blog in 9A. In pairs, sts decide whether each example is a fixed plan (FP) or an intention (I). Classcheck.

Alex’s blog – PC: I’m having dinner with my mom (FP) / I’m leaving home (I) / Next week I’m talking to a career specialist (FP) / I’m starting a Chinese class (FP). GT: I’m going to exercise more (FP) / I’m going to get a new job soon (I) / I’m going to learn a new language (FP) / I’m also going to move out of my parent’s house (FP) or (I) / I’m going to buy a new car (FP) / I’m going to find a new girlfriend (I) / I’m going to exercise with my friend Carl (FP) / I’m going on a date tomorrow night (FP) / What are you going to do in the new year? (FP) or (I)

B In pairs, sts discuss if sentences 1-5 are appropriate. Ask them to correct the wrong ones and justify their answers. Classcheck. In pairs, sts say / change sentences 1-5 to make true sentences about themselves. Their partner should ask follow-up questions seeking more details too. Exemplify this yourself by making true sentences and then eliciting possible follow-up responses. Ask a few sts to tell the whole class their partner’s sentences.

1. PC or GT 2. PC or GT 4. PC or GT 5. GT

3. PC or GT (GT more likely)

11 Listening A Elicit what is happening in photos 1-4. Ask: What is / are he / she / they doing? Sts will hear four phone messages and match 1-4 to the answers in the second column. Play 9.10. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. At the end, ask sts to identify who is who in the photos—ask: Who’s Carla’s brother? (photo 1) Who are John’s parents? (photo 2) Who’s Julia? (photo 3) and Who’s Martin? (photo 4).

9.10 Notice the future verb forms. 1 Hi Ronnie! It’s Carla. My brother’s moving to Paris in July. He’s going to fly there and he wants me to help him pack all his stuff. Can you help us too?—it’s going to take us weeks, but you’re really good at packing. I hope you can! And I promise to buy you dinner! Thanks. Call me back. 2 Hi, Melissa, it’s John. Listen, you know I told you that my parents are going to retire in February. Well, they’ve decided that they’re going to move to a warmer place—so they’re going to travel through Central and South America, and I wonder if you could help… I know you lived in Costa Rica with your parents for a long time. What do you think? 3 Hi, mom! It’s Julia. Umm… Are you sitting down? We have some big news. Guess what! We’re getting engaged! We’re not going to get married until we finish school, so don’t panic. So, umm, call me back when you get this message. Ciao! 4 Hi, Lucy, it’s Martin. I got in! It’s official! Yeah! I’m changing careers at last. I’m going to study medicine and I’m going to be a doctor. A doctor! Woohoooo! I just got the news— they accepted me at the med school. I’m so excited! Call me back, we need to celebrate. I’m going to be at work all afternoon, but then I’m going home, so give me a call and let’s go out! Love you! Yeah! 1. Carla’s brother is going to live in France. 2. John’s parents are going to move to a warmer place. 3. Julia is going to get engaged. 4. Martin is going to go back to school.

B

Sts listen again to notice the main reason why each person is calling / leaving a message. Ask them to notice who the most surprised person is and say why. Paircheck. Ask: Did you enjoy the activity? Who was easier / harder to understand? Do the people from the audio remind you of anybody you know? Classcheck. Do the AS task 9.10 on p. 166 if there is time.

1. Carla wants Ronnie to help with packing. 2. John wants Melissa to give him some information. 3. Julia wants to tell her mom some important news. 4. Martin wants Lucy to go out with him.

C MAKE IT PERSONAL Write New Year’s Eve on the board and ask sts: What do you usually do on this date? Do you make any “promises” / resolutions? Tell them to imagine it is New Year’s Eve and write a blog post (a paragraph) about the changes they are going to make in their lives in the New Year. You might either collect their texts to mark at home or ask them to read their texts to the whole class.

Would you like to be a nurse? / Do you mind if I borrow your pen? Lesson Aims: Sts practice looking for connections in an authentic text about the best jobs for the future and learn to use Could you / Do you mind…? to ask for permission. Language People who know how to use a computer are going to be in high demand. Listening to people ask for permission. Could I take the day off? Can I borrow some money? Do you mind if I turn on the air conditioner? Asking for, giving and refusing permission. Sure. Go ahead. Help yourself. I’d love to but… Vocabulary: Jobs. Areas of work. Bachelor’s (degree), look after (old people), companies, in high demand, buy / sell, lend / borrow. Grammar: Asking for permission and responding to permission requests. WB Song line: “Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song and I’ll try not to sing out of key. Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends.”

Lesson 9.5

Function Reading about the best jobs in the future.

Warm-up Review or present the final 16 picture words for the last eight consonant sounds of American English. Tell sts to turn to p. 154-155, cover the words and, in pairs, sts have to give the two picture words for each sound for the last two horizontal lines. Give them a minute or two to see how many they know / remember. Monitor and praise as necessary. Then, play the corresponding tracks from the pronunciation Portal. Ask How many did you get chart section on the right? and work with sts on their doubts. Elicit the common sound for each pair of pictures. You can also introduce sts to the phonetic symbols, if you want. If necessary, use the “To make these sounds we use” column and show the highlighted voiced / unvoiced feature. In case of monolingual Spanish or Portuguese speaking sts, highlight and celebrate those that are easy for them. Give extra practice for those sounds that are more difficult. Tip Fast finishers can review the 16 pairs of picture words for the other consonant sounds, the vowels and diphthongs too if you have time. If you think it would benefit them, focus on, review and explore the different sounds and spelling relationships for each consonant sound.

Skills: Looking for connections A

Books open to p. 104. In pairs, sts match jobs 1-6 to the area of work. Play 9.11 for sts to check their answers. Classcheck with answers on the board. Elicit / Drill the pronunciation of all jobs. Point to the photos on the page and ask: Which jobs can you see in the photos? (a civil engineer, a software developer, a market research analyst, a nurse)

9.11 Notice two pronunciations of letter e – /Ǫ/ and /i:/. A civil engineer: an engineer that builds public works, for example, bridges or roads. A dentist: a person that takes care of other people’s teeth. A financial advisor: a person that helps people invest their money. A market research analyst: a person that studies the reasons people buy certain products.

A nurse: a person that takes care of sick people. A software developer: a person that writes computer programs. 1. a civil engineer / bridges and roads 2. a dentist / teeth 3. a financial advisor / money and finance 4. a market research analyst / what people buy 5. a nurse / health and medicine 6. a software developer / computers

B Focus on the text title, “The Best Jobs for the Future”, and elicit what jobs sts think are going to be really necessary or valued in the future. Sts listen to 9.12 and read about six jobs which are going to be really important in ten years time in the USA. Pause after the 1st paragraph. Elicit what job number 1 is about (a financial advisor). Play the rest of 9.12 with no pauses this time. Paircheck. Classcheck. Elicit and drill the pronunciation of the words with pink letters. 1. a financial advisor 2. a dentist 3. a civil engineer 4. a market research analyst 5. a software developer 6. a nurse

C Get sts to re-read the article and circle the best options in sentences 1-6. Classcheck. Read World of English with sts about the use of better and worse in sentence 6. This is a preview as they will study comparatives in lesson 10.2. Tip For World of English . For fun get sts to repeat the two examples with fun intonation, the first like competitive children and the second like a whining employee. Little tricks like this can bring any text to life and make it more memorable for sts too. In pairs, sts agree or disagree with predictions 1-6. Classcheck. Write on the board: completely I agree / disagreee I’m not sure I hope so I hope not Maybe / Perhaps

9.5 Tip To make it more personal, ask sts to think carefully about each of the six predictions in the text and share their opinions. Focus on the speech bubble and elicit more phrases to (dis)agree. 1. When old people retire they need help with their money. 2. Old people now usually have false teeth. 3. We need to build roads because of more traffic. 4. Companies want information about why people buy things. 5. You need a degree or experience to make software. 6. Medicine is better than it was before.

in Action: Asking for permission A Point to photos a-d and say: All the people in these photos are asking for permission (to do something). Point to the phrases and elicit what each person is asking permission to do. E.g. photo c shows a man who wants permission to turn on the A/C (air conditioner). The easiest way for sts to express this is by following the example on the page. B Play 9.13 and ask sts to write 1-4 (dialogs 1-4) next to four of the phrases in A. Paircheck. Classcheck. They then match photos a-d to conversations 1-4 in B, writing a-d in the boxes. Classcheck. 9.13 Notice the connections. 1 A Argh, do you mind if I turn on the A/C? B No, not at all. It’s really warm in here. A Phew, thanks. 2 C I hate to ask this, but could you lend me some money? I left my money at home and I need to get something to eat. D I’m sorry, but I don’t have any money with me at the moment. C Oh, OK, I’ll ask Jeff. Thanks anyway. 3 E Excuse me, Jane. Can I ask you something? F That’s fine, Len. What is it? E Could I take the day off tomorrow? I need to take my son to the doctor. F Sure. Go ahead! E Thanks, Jane. Phew! That’s great! 4 G Can I borrow the car, mom? H No, I’m sorry, you can’t. I need it this afternoon. G Ooooooh! Why not? You never let me borrow the car… Phrases in A: 1. to turn on the A/C 2. to borrow some money 3. to take the day off 4. to borrow the car B: 1. c 2. d 3. a 4. b

C

Give sts time to read the table before you replay 9.13. Sts complete the questions and circle the

responses they hear. Paircheck. Classcheck. Drill the pronunciation of some of the questions and all the responses in the table. Use Common Mistakes to explain the difference between borrow and lend. Associate borrow with taking and lend with giving. To quickly practice, get sts to ask for permission to use classroom objects with Can I borrow…? / Can you lend me…? first to you and then, in pairs, to each other.

Tip Again vary your intonation and speed to add fun and energy to this repetition stage, e.g. be happy, sad, angry, tired, in a hurry, etc. Giving permission

Saying no

Can I ask you something?

That’s fine.

No, I’m busy.

Sure. Go ahead.

Could I take the day off?

Of course. No problem.

Maybe next time.

Can I borrow the car?

Help yourself.

No, I’m sorry, you can’t.

Could you lend me some money?

Not at all.

I’m sorry, but…

Asking for permission

Do you mind if I turn on the air conditioner?

I’m sorry, but it’s too cold.

D In pairs, sts role-play conversations for pictures 1-4 using the questions and responses from C. Monitor closely for accuracy. Ask some sts to act out their dialogs for the whole class. Refer weaker classes to the AS 9.13 on p. 165 to help them if necessary. E

MAKE IT PERSONAL Focus on the prompts given (a cookie, a candy, a kiss, etc.) the two example exchanges (the laptop and the phone). Ask sts to think of something they could ask permission for in the class. Give them some time to plan their requests and then encourage them to stand up and ask different people for permission. Make sure sts give appropriate responses.

Tip For mingle activities, set a time limit so sts work quickly and stay on-task. After e.g. four minutes get them to sit down before asking for feedback. Ask: How many positive responses did you get? Who didn’t get any? What was the craziest request? And the most common?

10 Unit overview: The main topics of unit 10 are parts of the body and face, appearance / personality adjectives, comparatives and superlatives, which are presented and practiced through the contexts of listening to part of a sports science class and a TV make-up artist, listening to the physical description of suspects given to a police officer, reading an article about an athlete, and listening to comparisons between twin sisters. Sts also listen to / watch a video about “The New Seven Wonders of Nature” and practice understanding facts in a quiz, making decisions by choosing a gig they’d like to go to together.

Do you look like your mom? Lesson 10.1

Lesson Aims: Sts learn parts of the body and face to describe and talk about people’s appearance and to describe suspects to a police officer. Sts also learn some irregular plural forms. Function Talking about parts of the body and face.

Language You need your legs and your feet to run. I really like my ears and nose because they’re not too big and they’re not too small. Describing people’s appearance. What does he look like? He is short and slim. He has long dark hair and brown eyes. Vocabulary: The body and face (parts). Long dark hair, short fair hair, slim, overweight, average build, average height, short, tall. Wanted suspects. Grammar: Irregular plural forms (feet, teeth). What does he / she look like?

Warm-up Have sts ask each other and answer as many question titles from units 1-9 as they can in about four minutes, plus a follow-up question to see what they can remember from the previous units. Monitor closely for accuracy. Ask some sts to say three answers they had in common or two things they found interesting about their partner’s answers. Tip If you are planning to use questions as the basis of an oral test at the end of this unit, remind sts that this is very useful test rehearsal time and they should be doing this out of class (e.g. on the cell phone) to get themselves ready.

1 Vocabulary: The Body and Face A Books closed. Elicit names of some body parts: point to your own body (your head, hand, arm, stomach, back, etc.) and ask: What’s this in English? When they don’t know the answer, name it and ask sts to repeat after you. Books open. Explore the photos. Ask: Where are they? What’s the relationship between them? What are they doing? Where do you think they’re from? Point to number 1 in the photo and ask sts: What’s this in English? (head). Point to the numbered boxes 1-10 and tell sts to write the body parts from A in the correct boxes in the photos. Paircheck. Sts listen to a sports science class. Play 10.1 to classcheck answers. Ask sts to point to the body parts in the photos as they hear them. Encourage them to look at each other and compare answers as they do this. Ask: Have any of you attended a sports science class? Elicit the plural form of “arm.” Say We say 1 (gesture 1 with your finger) arm and 2… arms. What about hand? 1 hand and 2…? and let sts finish the sentence. Do the same for finger, leg and toe. Focus on the 5 box and make them aware of irregular plurals. The two irregular plurals (both of which follow the

same spelling pattern). They are also picture words in the Pronunciation Chart on p. 154-155. Ask: Do you remember any others? (child / children, person / people, man / men, woman / women). These irregular plural nouns are the main ones they’ve been exposed to so far. Read Common Mistakes with sts and clarify any doubts about fingers vs. toes. Read the Song line at the top of p. 107 and see if sts can recognize the song / band.

Song line: I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes. The love that’s all around me and so the feeling grows. Song: “Love Is All Around” Band: Troggs* (UK) Year: 1967 *The song was also recorded by the Scottish band Wet Wet Wet in 1994, and was soundtrack of the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.

10.1 Notice the /N /, /J/ and /Ǫ / sounds. … So the important parts of the body we are going to study in this course are: 1. the head; 2. the arms; 3. the legs; 4. the chest; 5. the stomach; 6. the back; 7. the hands; 8. the fingers; 9. the feet; 10. the toes. We’re going to look at how each one is important in sports. Any questions?

Tip As an extra processing task to help sts think about, feel and remember the words, you can always add a “find the common sound” task. For example, write on the board: Find two / k / sounds, two /J/ sounds, two / / sounds and two /Ǫ/ sounds in the ten body parts. In pairs, sts find the sounds in the ten body parts, then turn to the AS on p. 166 for the key. They will also find more examples of /k/ highlighted there too.

10.1 1. the head 2. the arms 3. the legs 4. the chest 5. the stomach 6. the back 7. the hands 8. the fingers 9. the feet 10. the toes The words back and stomach have a /N /, legs and fingers have a /J/ sound, back and hand have a /Ǡ/ sound and chest, legs and head have a /Ǫ/ sound.

B

Ask the class: What body parts do you need to think? (head)

What body parts do you need to run? (legs, feet). Point to the prompts in B. Sts continue answering What do you need to…? questions 3-8. Classcheck. Expect a variety of answers.

Suggested answers. 1. You need your head to think. 2. You need your legs and feet to run. 3. You need your arms, hands, feet and legs to swim. 4. You need your legs and arms to ride a bicycle. 5. You need your feet, legs and head to play soccer. 6. You need your hands and fingers to write. 7. You need everything to do yoga. 8. You need your head to learn English.

Tip Presenting words like this helps sts first focus on listening and pronunciation before they worry about the written form. When they then see the written form they are often surprised, but this can later help them to remember both and prevent them from imposing a mother-tongue influenced pronunciation on the word.

C

Point to parts of your own face and elicit vocabulary sts

already know and present items they don’t. Have sts repeat parts of the face after you as you elicit / present them. Focus on the photo in C and ask: What’s number 5? (nose) Individually, sts match face parts 1-8 to the words in C. Play 10.2. Paircheck. Any spelling / pronunciation surprises?

E

MAKE IT PERSONAL Swap partners. In pairs, sts talk

about which parts of their faces they like the most / least and say why. Ask sts to report their partner’s answers. Round off this section by asking the title question Do you look like your mother? to see who does / doesn’t. Ask: Do you look more like your father or your mother? They may want to say “I have my mother’s eyes, but my father’s nose,” so help them to do so with correct use of the possessive ’s.

2 Listening A

Focus on the pictures of the suspects. Point to the word “Wanted” and tell sts the men committed a crime and the police are looking for them. Point to suspect 1 and say: Look at his hair. Is it long or short? (gesture long and short). Exemplify dark and fair hair with sts’ hair or famous people’s hair: say Madonna has fair hair. Angelina Jolie has dark hair. etc. Point to the 4th box of options (long dark hair / short dark hair / short fair hair) and ask sts to write 1, 2 or 3, matching suspects to their description. Repeat procedures for the suspects’ eye colors and physical shapes.

Tip If technology is available, google images of celebrities who could be examples of overweight / average build / slim people. Make use of gestures as well to teach tall / short / average height. You might ask sts to stand up to see who’s the shortest and tallest in class to help convey meaning. This will help to introduce comparatives in lesson 10.2. Sts write 1, 2 or 3 in all boxes in 2A. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Drill pronunciation for the first six phrases.

(1) average build (3) overweight (2) slim (1) average height (2) short (3) tall (3) blue eyes (2) brown eyes (1) green eyes (1) long dark hair (2) short dark hair (3) short fair hair

Sts check their answers. Classcheck. Ask: Would you like to do his job?

10.2 Notice /Dǹ/, /DƟ/ and /RƟ/. Well, my job is to get people ready for the camera. I have to think about all these things: first, the hair, then the eyes and the eyebrows, then I quickly check the ears and the nose. Finally I work on the mouth, and this means working on the lips, and checking the teeth. I want people to look absolutely perfect! (4) ears/ǹU]/ (5) nose/QRș]/ (1) hair/KǪU/

(2) eyes/Dǹ]/ (7) lips/OǹSV/ (3) eyebrows/DǹEUDș]/ (6) mouth/PDșˠ/ (8) teeth/WLˠ/

Tip Ask: How many of these items are picture words on the pronunciation chart? (3. Nose, teeth and lips.)

D

Ask: What part do we use to eat? (mouth / teeth). In

pairs, sts match parts of the face 1-8 from C to the verbs in D. Classcheck.

Eyes: look, see, read Mouth / teeth: eat Mouth / lips: speak, kiss Ears: listen Nose: smell

B Point to the picture of the suspects in 2A. Sts hear the descriptions for Adam, Charlie and Mark. Sts listen to 10.3 and write the names of each suspect below the correct picture. Paircheck. Classcheck. 10.3 Notice the connecting sounds. PO = police officer A, B and C = victims 1 PO OK, and what does the suspect look like? A Well, he’s short and slim. And he said his name was Charlie, but, well, who knows. PO Uh-huh? What else do you remember? A Hmm, uh… He has short dark hair and brown eyes. PO OK, thank you, madam. 2 PO OK, can you describe the suspect, please? You said his name was Mark, right? What does he look like? B Well, he’s tall and a little overweight. Like you! PO Hmm, right, and what color is his hair? B Uh, I think he has short fair hair and blue eyes. Like you. Yes, definitely blue eyes. PO OK, thank you. Oh, and don’t worry. I’m not Mark.

10.1 3 PO So, the man who took your bag. What did he look like? C Hmm… he wasn’t tall or short. He was… um, average height. And he wasn’t fat or slim, he was average build I think. PO And can you remember the color of his hair? C Yeah, he, uh… He had dark hair. PO Long or short? C Uh, long dark hair and he had green eyes, I think. PO OK. I think I know who you mean. That’s Adam. We know where he lives. Thanks! Let’s go! 1. Adam

C

2. Charlie

3. Mark

Focus on Common Mistakes . Write on the board:

1) What does he like? 2) What does he look like? Elicit possible answers to both questions, e.g. 1) He likes chocolate, beer, soccer. 2) He is tall and slim. He has short hair. Drill the question What does he look like? with prompts he / she / they / you. Below question 2, write “He is…” and “He has…” and elicit possible sentences, e.g. “He is tall / short / average height / overweight, etc.” and “He has short dark hair and blue eyes.”. Underline the words hair and eyes and for each of them ask sts: Is it a noun or an adjective? (noun). Make sure sts understand we use Subject + have + nouns and Subject + be + adjectives when describing people. Draw somebody with a single very long hair to illustrate the other common mistake. Sts play the game “Spot the suspect!”. Model the activity with the whole class. Get a student to ask you: “What does he look like?”.

Describe one of the suspects, e.g. say He is tall and overweight. He has short fair hair and blue eyes and ask the student to point / say which suspect you’re talking about (Mark). In pairs, sts play the game. Use the example on the page to set this up and give a further example yourself. Monitor closely for accuracy. Sts might ask “How does he look?” or “How does he look like?”. Use Common Mistakes to correct sts.

D

MAKE IT PERSONAL Sts play the same guessing game, but now describing “suspects” in the classroom. Make sure they start their descriptions with “This person” and not he / she. Use the example on the page to set this up and give a further example yourself. One student speaks at a time and the whole class tries to guess who the suspect / classmate is. Monitor closely for accuracy.

Tip If working with large groups, split the class in two groups. Sts play the game within their groups and take turns describing people either from their group or the other one. The other members of the group try to guess who is being described. Tip For extra practice of parts of the body you can play Body Parts Bingo at any time. Sts write down six parts of the body, you call them out randomly until one student gets a “Bingo”. Extra writing Sts can write a description of themselves, e.g. for a lonely hearts column and post it on the class website.

Are you like your dad? Lesson 10.2

Lesson Aims: Sts learn to give better physical description, to use comparatives and to describe / compare people’s appearance and personality. Function Reading about an amazing athlete. Expressing an opinion about an athlete. Comparing people’s appearance and personality.

Language She was good at sports at school, especially baseball… I think she’s strong, determined, and heroic. What about you? Scott is taller than Jake. Scott is more interesting than Jake. Jake is happier than Scott. Vocabulary: Recycling descriptions of people’s appearance. Adjectives (active, athletic, courageous, determined, etc.). Grammar: Comparatives (long and short adjectives).

Warm-up Play a quick “hangman” game with the whole class. Write seven blanks on the board (one for each letter of the word “athlete”) and have sts take turns guessing the letters of the mystery word. When they’ve guessed it, ask them: Who’s your favorite athlete? Do you like watching sports on TV? What sports do you play?

3 Reading A

Point to the text title and ask: Who’s the extraordinary athlete? (sts point to the photo of Kelly Bruno). Ask What’s her name? and have sts quickly find her name in the text and complete the information table. Ask When was she born? (March 23, 1984) and sts complete the field “Date of birth.” Individually, sts carry on reading and find her (physical) “Description,” “Hobby” and “Occupation.” Maybe play 10.4 for them to listen and read the text. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

10.5 Notice the /U/. A B A B A B A B A B A B A B A

What are you reading? It’s an article about a runner with a prosthetic leg. Oh, OK. So, what does it say? Well, her leg was amputated when she was a baby—only six months old. Oh! That’s terrible. Poor thing! I know! But she got a prosthetic leg at nine months old. Wow! And four months later she started to walk. She’s incredible. Oh, my God! My niece is the same age and she can’t even walk! But that isn’t everything. In 2008 she actually won the New York Triathlon. Can you believe it? No way! She’s so determined… Well, yes, I guess so. Then she started university in 2009— just like all her friends. But poor her… What? Her father died in 2010 in the earthquake in Haiti… No way!

Tip This page is a good example of what you will find in but not other courses at this level. There are a lot of words / expressions in the text and exercises B and C which would not normally be included in a Level 1 language course, because they would be too hard for a teacher to deal with in a multilingual class. However, because we know the language identity of our target learners, and are aiming primarily at monolingual classes, we know virtually all of them are cognates, and easily accessible. There’s no problem with meaning or needing to translate, so why hide such words from sts? Once they’ve heard the pronunciation and have the stress clues for reference, they can begin to use them immediately, which is very motivating. And, if they do mispronounce them, another English speaker ought to be able to understand and help them. Full name: Kelly Bruno Date of birth: March 23, 1984 Description: tall, slim, long dark hair, brown eyes Hobby: sports, especially triathlon Occupation: medical student

9 months old: got a prosthetic leg 13 months old: began to walk 2008: won the New York Triathlon 2009: began her studies 2010: her father died

C MAKE IT PERSONAL Elicit pronunciation of the pink stressed words and ask: How many are recognizable from your language? (earthquake is possibly the most difficult word for Latin speakers to recognize but you can use the context of “Haiti” to help.) Focus on the adjectives in C and drill pronunciation for all of them. Again most words will be cognates for Latin language speakers. Ask sts to ask each other in pairs: What do you think of Kelly? Tell them they need to use three words from the box. Weaker classes Leave prompts on the board, as follows: What / you think of Kelly? I think she’s… What about you? Round off the activity by asking sts to tell the class what their partners think of Kelly.

B

Ask What happened to Kelly when she was six months old? and point to the first event in her timeline in B (part of her leg was amputated). In pairs, sts re-read the text and complete Kelly’s timeline with the other events from the text in A. Play 10.5 for sts to listen to two people talking about the

article and check their answers. Classcheck.

4 Grammar: Comparatives A For a fun books closed presentation of comparatives, compare your country with a neighboring one, preferably one that they historically “don’t like”, e.g. Britain and France, 147

10.2 Brazil and Argentina, etc. Put some adjectives on the board and get them to make comparisons. Elicit and drill X is bigger / richer / better at soccer / more important / more beautiful, etc. Or you can do the same with any pair of famous actors, musicians, animals, cars, etc. Drill the sentences they come up with by saying the adjective and nominating a student to make the comparative sentence. Focus on the men in photos 1 and 2. Elicit some physical descriptions (ask: What does he look like? What’s he wearing? How’s he feeling?). Focus on the six adjectives and ask sts: What’s the opposite of happy? (sad). Gesture a person crying / make a sad face and teach them the word. Elicit the three pairs of opposites. Get sts to match them to the photos, either 1 or 2. Boring and interesting are obviously subjective, so they have to listen and check. It’s a fifty-fifty call so the idea is just to add a bit of fun!

Tip Use the audio itself to set up the situation and build a bit of tension. Pause after “what to do” and elicit the situation. Ask: Who are they? (friends) Who has a problem? (Maggie) What is it? Two guys want to take her out for dinner. Establish that it’s the two guys in the photos, and make them guess who she chooses. Tell them they have to listen for the two guys names too. Play the audio again from the beginning for them to listen to the whole thing, check their answers and see if they guessed the right guy.

ask sts to listen to the track again and complete 1-4 with what they hear. Ask them to remember Steve’s last line too. Play 10.6 again. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Make sure sts notice the word than in all phrases.

Language note The last line is Problem solved!, a nice expression which sts can use from now on. Highlight the silent “E” and cross it out for them as reference. 1. Scott is taller than Jake. 2. Jake is happier than Scott. 3. It doesn’t matter that he’s shorter than Scott. 4. Scott is more interesting than Jake. Read Common Mistakes with sts and ask them: Why can’t you say “more stronger”? Say: You can say “more interesting” (point to sentence 4). Write tall, happy, short and interesting on the board. In pairs, ask them to notice what happened to the adjectives on the board in the sentences in B, and match the rules in the Grammar box: Comparatives. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Tip For immediate practice, show some photos of locally famous pairs of people, places, cars, soccer teams, etc. for sts to compare in pairs. E.g. (Robert de Niro) is younger / taller / richer / fatter / more famous / more interesting / better-looking / a worse actor than (Al Pacino).

= Maggie S = Steve I need some help, Steve. What’s up, Maggie? Two guys want to take me for dinner on Saturday! And I don’t know what to do. Well, which one do you like better? Well, Scott is taller than Jake and you know I usually like tall men. Yes, so go out with Scott! But Scott is always so sad. Jake is happier than Scott. So, go out with Jake! That’s more important. It doesn’t matter that he’s shorter. I know, but Scott is more interesting than Jake. Jake is a bit boring. Why don’t you go out with both of them? And then see which one you like more? Good idea. I can go to the movies with Jake and then have dinner with Scott. Problem solved!

comparatives. Tell them to use the adjectives from 4A. Ask sts to report their partner’s opinion to the whole class. Now, ask sts to read the Song line at the top of p. 109 and check if they know the song / artists. Ask sts to find a comparative adjective in the song line (brighter). What does “ones” refer to (people) and refer them back to lesson 6.4 if necessary. Do they like / know the song? Can they sing it? When did Michael Jackson die? Who else sang the song?

Song line: We are the world, we are the children. We are the ones who make a brighter day, so let’s start giving.

(1) sad

Paircheck then classcheck. Get them to justify their answers (She said Scott’s taller, so he’s number 1, etc.). Ask: What did Maggie decide? / Who is she going out with: Scott or Jake? (She’s going to the movies with Jake and having dinner with Scott.) Ask: Do you think Maggie made the right decision? Who would you prefer to date? An interesting, tall, sad man or a short, happy, boring man?

B Focus on sentences 1-4. Ask What’s she doing? (Comparing them). Point to the four comparatives in B and

In pairs, sts say who would be the best guy for Maggie:

Scott or Jake. Make sure they justify their choices with

Song: “We Are the World” Artist: Michael Jackson / USA for Africa (USA) Year: 1985

5 Listening A

Point to the photo of twin sisters Zoe and Rebecca and ask sts: Are they similar? (Yes, they are identical twins.) Can you see any differences? Who’s Zoe and who’s Rebecca? Let’s listen to their brother and check. Play 10.7. Classcheck.

10.2 Tip Elicit the question used to ask about appearance and write it on the board, What does he / she look like? Refer to lesson 10.2 if necessary. Ask sts to go to AS 10.7 on p. 166 and ask them: Are they talking about Zoe’s and Rebecca’s appearance or personality? (personality). Ask What question do you use for personality? and have sts find and underline two questions in the AS (What’s Zoe like? What’s she like?). Write the prompts friendly, shy, organized, calm, intelligent on the board. In pairs, sts take turns asking and answering the questions: “What are you like?” “What’s your mother / father / wife / husband / girl / boyfriend like?”. Monitor closely for accuracy.

10.7 Notice word stress in the underlined words. B = Brad L = Louise B These are my twin sisters, Zoe and Rebecca. L Wow, Brad! They look identical. B Yes, but they’re very different. L What’s Zoe like? B She’s friendlier than Rebecca and she’s more generous. She likes to be with other people and she’s always giving people presents. L What about Rebecca? What’s she like? B She’s more timid than Zoe, and she’s calmer. She likes to be alone, but she’s more intelligent and more organized than Zoe. The girl on the left is Rebecca, the other is Zoe.

Tip Tell sts to observe body language in the pictures. If they have difficulty in identifying who is who, inform them that crossing your arms is a sign of being shy.

a little extra attentiveness, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it’ll become second nature. People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence. Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is (slightly) reserved, uncomfortable with their appearance (i.e.: self-conscious and trying to cover it), or just trying to hide something on their shirt. Extracted from: www.wikihow.com/Read-Body-Language Accessed on November 12th, 2012.

B Sts listen to 10.7 again and complete sentences 1-6 with Z (Zoe) or R (Rebecca). Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask sts to close their books. Do a quick repetition drill with sentences 1-6.

1. Zoe is friendlier than Rebecca. 2. Zoe is more generous than Rebecca. 3. Rebecca is more timid / shyer than Zoe. 4. Rebecca is calmer than Zoe. 5. Rebecca is more intelligent than Zoe. 6. Rebecca is more organized than Zoe.

C MAKE IT PERSONAL Point to the lesson title question at the top of p. 108 and ask sts: Are you like your dad? Have sts write down a few comparisons between them and someone in their family. Tell them to use adjectives from 4A. In pairs, sts tell each other their sentences. Monitor closely for accuracy. Classcheck by asking sts to remember / tell the class their partner’s comparisons. Extra writing Sts can write several minicomparisons about themselves and other members of their families, both physically (What does he / she look like?) and about their personalities (What’s he / she like?).

If sts want to have further information, you can read the following text about body language.

Cultural note Noticing the signals that people send out with their body is a very useful social skill. Some of us can read it naturally and some of us are notoriously oblivious to it. Fortunately, with

What’s the prettiest city you know? Lesson 10.3

Lesson Aims: Sts continue to learn to describe more aspects of personality. Sts also learn to form and use superlatives. Function Reading about personality types. Describing personality.

Language I’m (enneagram) type 1. I’m a perfectionist and I’m idealistic. What are you like? What’s your mother like? I’m fun and spontaneous. Sometimes, I’m moody. She’s critical, calm and very generous. Taking a quiz. What’s the second most populated city in the world? Rating items as the best or second best in a given category. Salzburg is the prettiest city in the world. Mexico City is the second most populated city in the Americas. I’m the tallest person in my family. Vocabulary: Personality adjectives (moody, critical, generous, ambitious, solitary, romantic, suspicious, etc.). Enneagram. Grammar: What’s he / she like? Superlative forms of long and short adjectives.

Warm-up If an E-board and the internet are available, have some photos of celebrities displayed on the board, two at a time. If not, write a few pairs of celebrities’ names on the board, e.g. Angelina Jolie vs. (a local celebrity), Tom Cruise vs. Elton John, Kate Middleton vs. Hillary Clinton, etc. Write / Elicit adjectives to describe people, e.g. tall, slim, long (hair), short, overweight, old, young, beautiful, ugly, attractive, intelligent. In pairs, sts compare the pairs of people using the adjective given. They can add in more of their own too, e.g. personality adjectives from p. 109. Monitor closely for accuracy. At the end, ask sts to share their comparisons with the whole class. Encourage the class to respond / say if they agree or disagree.

Books open. Focus on the purple picture / symbol and

ask sts: What’s the enneagram? Do you like / usually agree with generalization about personality types, e.g. horoscopes or numerology? Have you heard of or used an enneagram before? Sts listen and read the introduction to the text and choose the best answer, 1 or 2. Play 10.8—pause after “Here is an example of each type.” Paircheck. Classcheck.

An enneagram is a diagram that represents nine personality types.

Tip Walk around the classroom to check if sts are on the right track, but do not correct answers with the whole class. They’ll ask their partners about their findings in 6C

B

Have sts work in trios. Point to personality types 1-9 in the text in A (numbers are in bold). St A reads types 1-3, st B, types 4-6, and st C, types 7-9. In the table in B, each student completes the positive and negative sides of the three personality types they’ve read about. There is an example done for each of them.

Tip Elicit and drill pronunciation of the words with pink letters as necessary. If you think they can manage it, in trios they can then cover the texts and try together to remember the key words for each type.

Accept things they don’t like

C

Within the same groups, sts ask and answer questions to complete the table in B. Refer to the model question in the speech bubble: “What’s the negative side of type 1?”. Set a time limit of two minutes and try to stick to it.

Tip The sts asking the questions should cover the texts and look only at the photos of each type, so they listen to each other as they write down the words and imagine the characteristics the person shows. Make the sts answering and giving the information spell the adjectives to his / her partners too so they really are communicating in English. Focus on the nine photos. Ask: Do you think they look like their “enneagram type?” Play 10.9 for sts to check their answers. Ask: Did you sound similar to these students when you were doing the activity?

Tip It may help sts to read AS anything there.

10.9 and see if they notice

Can you tell me about type 4? What are they like? B Type 4. Umm, they’re romantic, but sometimes they can be moody too. A What about types 5 and 6? B Type 5 people are solitary and they try to understand the world, but sometimes they feel depressed. That’s type 5. Type 6 people are loyal and responsible, but also suspicious. A OK, the last three. Type 7 people are spontaneous, happy and fun. But they are very disorganized. B Yes, and type 8 people are strong and try to do important things. The bad side is that they get angry. A And the last one, type 9. They are calm and avoid conflict. The negative side is that they accept things they don’t like.

D MAKE IT PERSONAL In pairs, sts take turns describing their personality with adjectives from this lesson and also lesson 10.2. Ask sts to find three differences between them and write down three comparative sentences, e.g. “(Juan) is more idealistic than me.”. At the end, ask some sts to read their sentences to the whole class and ask: Which personality type are you and your partner? Finally return to your original question Do you believe in the enneagram system? to see if anybody else is convinced now. Extra writing Sts can write a short description of their own personality type and say which enneagram type is most similar to their personality.

7 Grammar: Superlatives A Books open. Point to photos a-e and tell sts there’s a corresponding question for each photo in the quiz. In pairs, sts match the questions to the photos. Ask sts: What’s the highest mountain in the world? Gesture tall / very high mountain (sts should say “Mount Everest”). Ask: What about the second highest? (gesture 2nd). Refer to the quiz title and introduction and make sure they understand the quiz is about second places, not first. In pairs, sts do the quiz. Play 10.10 for them to check their answers.

Tip It is important to tell sts that the photos do not correspond to the answers of the quiz. The photos show the first in each category. The quiz is about the second in each category. Read sentence a in the Grammar box. Ask if sts agree or disagree with the sentences, e.g. “I disagree. I think Rio de Janeiro is the most beautiful city in the world.” Still on the first sentence, ask sts In this sentence, is Salzburg more beautiful than one specific city or more cities? (more cities, all of them in fact!).

Tip Give sts a more visual example. Ask two average-height sts to stand up (not the tallest one in the class) and elicit the comparison, e.g. “(Julia) is taller than (Danielle).”. Then, ask all sts to stand up and ask: Who’s the tallest in class? The same demonstration would also work with the adjectives “old” or “young.” Have sts read the Grammar box sentences in 1 a-d and match them with the four rules. Paircheck. Classcheck. Sts study the quiz questions and decide: Which rule a-d do the superlative forms in the quiz follow? Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Books closed presentation. Cover the text on the page and focus on any of the photos (or use IWB photos if you can). Ask: What can you see in photo a? (Mount Everest.) Give me a (superlative) sentence about Mount Everest. (It’s the highest mountain in the world.) Elicit and drill superlative sentences about photos b, c and d too using the longest, the most populated, the largest and the most successful.

In pairs, sts take turns asking and answering questions 1-7 and the connection preposition for “world.” Monitor closely for accuracy. Encourage sts to give more complete answers, e.g.: “I think the oldest city in (Argentina) is…”. Classcheck. Elicit each pairs’ most interesting answers. Encourage sts to disagree if they want to, but make sure they use correct superlative forms. Round off the lesson with the Song line at the top of p. 111. Ask sts who recognize the song to hum or sing it to help others remember the tune (Tina Turner’s hit from the 80’s). Ask sts: What’s the best song of all time? And the best film? Who’s the best (living) actor in your opinion?

1. What is the oldest city in your country? 2. What are the most expensive supermarkets in your town? 3. What is the biggest stadium in your country? 4. What are the most popular beaches in your country? 5. Who is the youngest person in your class? 6. Who are the most famous people in the world? 7. What is the most important possession you have?

8 Pronunciation: Comparatives and Superlatives

A

Books open. Have sts work in pairs and decide whether

sentences 1-4 have adjectives in the comparative or superlative forms. (Comparatives: 2 and 4, Superlatives: 1 and 3.) Focus on World of English . After sts read it, give them a simple example of what “content words” are, that is, words that carry the message / meaning. Write on the board: A box of chocolate. With your hands, cover the words “box” and “chocolate” and ask: If you say “a” “of,” can people understand you? (No.) Now cover “a” and “of” and ask: If you say “box” “chocolate,” can people understand you? (Yes.) Tell them these words, which carry the main message, are usually stressed in a sentence. Function words, such as articles and prepositions, are usually NOT stressed. Point to sentence 1 and focus on the four underlined words. Tell the class all sentences 2-4 in A have three stressed words each. In pairs, sts decide which three words in sentences 2-4 are stressed. Play 10.11 for sts to check if their guesses were right. Classcheck with answers on the board. Replay 10.11 but pause after each sentence and ask for chorus repetition. Monitor closely for sentence stress.

10.11 1 2 3 4

Everest is the highest mountain in the world. And K2 is higher than Kilimanjaro. The Nile is the longest river. The Amazon is longer than the Mississippi.

2. K2, higher, Kilimanjaro 3. Nile, longest, river 4. Amazon, longer, Mississippi

B Tell sts to go to p. 111. Model the activity. Point to the Quiz (7A) and read question 3 with the whole class. Write 1st, 2nd and 3rd place on the board and elicit the cities from sts. Ask: Which city is number 1 / the 1st? (São Paulo). Elicit the superlative sentence about São Paulo. Say So what can we say about it? São Paulo is… and let sts finish your sentence. (São Paulo is the most populated city in the Americas). Now focus on the 2nd and 3rd places and elicit the comparison between Mexico City and New York. (Mexico City is more populated than New York City). Make sure you leave the two model sentences on the board so sts can refer to them. Individually, sts write one superlative sentence and one comparative sentence about each for questions 4 and 5 from the quiz. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board.

Tip When pairchecking, get sts to say their sentences aloud simultaneously, stressing the content words and unstressing / reducing / saying faster the others. Get them to clap the stress or tap their feet to try to find the same rhythm and speed together. São Paulo is the most populated city in the Americas. Mexico City is more populated than New York City. Russia is the largest country in the world and Canada is larger than China. Brazil is the most successful national soccer team in the world. Italy is more successful than Germany. (2013)

C Individually, sts mark the stressed words in the sentences they wrote in 8B. Paircheck. Classcheck. In pairs, sts practice saying them with the right pronunciation. 153

Stronger classes Get sts to cover the texts and, in pairs, remember as much as they can about each place.

Read the lesson Song line at the top of p. 113 with sts. Elicit the name of the song / singer. If technology is available, search / display images of beautiful islands to convey meaning / pre-teach “an island” and sing to pre-teach nature too. The silent “s” in the word is pronounced as /ɎDǹOǨQG/.

Tell sts they’re going to watch a video (or just listen to 10.13) and at the end they need to say which two places were not mentioned. Classcheck. Did they guess correctly?

Tip If your sts aren’t Spanish-speakers, explain “la isla bonita” means “the beautiful island” in Spanish.

10.13 Notice the stress.

Song line: Tropical the island breeze, all the nature wild and free. This is where I long to be, La Isla Bonita. Song: “La Isla Bonita” Artist: Madonna (USA) Year: 1987

Ask What’s your favorite Madonna song? to see what they can come up with. Point to photos 1-9 and check if sts can recognize some of the places. When you explore the photos, introduce some new preferably cognate friendly vocabulary by saying: There’s an elephant and a volcano in photo 3. Where is it? Either Africa or India, obviously. Look at photo 4. What do you call this animal? (if sts don’t know, give them the word, “a lizard”). Elicit vocabulary and introduce as many words as possible before sts focus on the vocabulary box in A. Point to the vocabulary box in A and drill pronunciation of all words. In pairs, sts find examples of each word in the photos 1-9. Classcheck. Elicit and drill pronunciation as necessary.

1. a canyon 8. a cave 9. flowers 2. an island 4. a lake 4. a lizard 3. a mountain top 1. rocks 8. an underground river 7. a volcano 5. a waterfall

B

Elicit “Wonders of the World” (monuments) from sts, e.g. the Taj Mahal in India, Machu Picchu in Peru. Which ones have they visited? Which ones have they heard of? Tell them they’ll listen to and read about the seven New Wonders of Nature and ask them to match the places to photos 1-9 as they hear them. Play 10.12. Paircheck. Classcheck. Again ask Which ones (if any) have you visited?

Tip Get sts who haven’t visited the places to ask questions like When / go ? Who / go with? How / get there? What / like?, etc. for some genuine communicative practice. 1. The Grand Canyon 2. Halong Bay 3. Mount Kilimanjaro 4. Komodo National Park 5. The Iguazu Falls 6. The Amazon rain forest 7. Jejudo 8. The Puerto Princesa National Park 9. Table Mountain

C Ask sts: Which place is in nine different countries? (The Amazon). Point to questions 1-9 in C and, in pairs, sts reread the text and answer them. Classcheck. 1. The Amazon 2. Table Mountain 3. Halong Bay 4. The Puerto Princesa National Park 5. The Iguazu Falls 6. Jeju 7. The Grand Canyon 8. Komodo National Park 9. Mount Kilimanjaro

Ladies and gentlemen, adults and children, citizens of the world, welcome to the announcement of the first count and provisional results of the global vote to elect the new Seven Wonders of Nature. The moment has come and I now proceed to announce the provisional new Seven Wonders of Nature in alphabetical order. Amazon, in South America. Halong Bay, in Vietnam.

What’s your blood type? / Is your English better than a year ago? Lesson 10.5

Lesson Aims: Sts practice understanding facts with comparatives and superlatives. They also learn to express preferences and to make suggestions. Function Reading / Listening / Talking about human body facts.

Language The most common blood type in the world is type A. For me, fact 6 is the most interesting. Listening to people making choices. I prefer the Chinese restaurant, but it’s more expensive than the Italian. Making choices about restaurants, films and gigs. Why don’t we go to The Rolling Stones’ gig? I’m not sure. They’re too old. Shakira is more modern. Vocabulary: Review parts of the body and face. More parts of the body and face: the beard, the brain, lungs, the heart, fingernails, toenails, blood, a tongue, blood type. Grammar: Recycle comparatives and superlatives. Chunks for making decisions (I prefer…, Why don’t we…, etc.). WB Song line: “Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, make us stronger, more than ever, hour after hour.”

Warm-up Ask sts to pair up with classmates they don’t usually work with. In pairs, sts take turns asking and answering the question titles from unit 10. Get them to ask follow-up questions too and to vary the subjects of each question (best friend, sister, town, village, etc). Monitor closely for accuracy. At the end, ask sts to report one or two of their partner’s answers to the whole class.

Skills: Understanding facts A Books closed. Review parts of the body and face. Point to some parts of your body / face and elicit the words from the class (e.g. your nose, your arm, your leg, your ears). In pairs, sts test each other for a minute. For 30 seconds, st A: points to parts of his / her body and face. St B: names them. Sts swap roles and play the game again for 30 seconds. Monitor closely for vocabulary and pronunciation. Books open. Point to pictures a-g and elicit vocabulary sts might already know, e.g. heart, brain and blood. Help sts match the words to the correct picture. Classcheck. Drill pronunciation for all words and ask: Which two words rhyme? (lung and tongue) Which two have similar spelling but a different pronunciation? (heard and heart) Which three have similar sounds? (lung, tongue and blood)

d. a beard g. blood b. a brain a. fingernails c. a tongue

f. a heart

F True. It says that if men don’t shave, a beard can grow to more than ten meters! M Wow! What about number 3? F That’s false. Your toenails grow slower than your fingernails because they get less sun. M Hmm. Interesting. And number 4? F This is true, because women are smaller than men, so the heart needs to move the blood faster to the different parts of the body. M Ohhhh! I didn’t know that. What about number 5? F False. The heart needs a lot of space, so the left lung is smaller. M Really? OK, what about number 6? F That’s false. We can live for a month or even two months without food, but the longest time a person can go with no sleep is 11 days. Sleep is more important than food. M Wow, this is really interesting! And number 7? F This is true. When you eat or talk you’re using the tongue, so it gets a lot of exercise. M I suppose so. Blablabla. What about 8? F This is false—the most common type of blood is type O. M I think I’m type O. How about you? 1. T

Fact 6 is not illustrated.

e. a lung

Lung and tongue rhyme.

B

Focus on the “True or false?” quiz heading in A. Ask sts: How much do you know about the human body? Point to facts 1-8 about the human body in the quiz and have sts decide in pairs whether each of them is true of false. Then, elicit some opinions about facts 1-8. Classcheck with 10.14. Ask: Which fact is not illustrated? Who got the most answers correct? Who is the class expert on the human body?

10.14 Notice the sentence stress and the weak forms. F OK, so let’s see how we did. Number 1 is true. Scientists don’t know why, but your brain is very active when you sleep. M OK—I knew that one—number 2?

C

Point to sentence 1 in C and elicit the missing words. Make sure sts notice the first letter of each word has been given. Sts hear the conversation again and complete the facts. Paircheck. Classcheck with answers on the board. Ask: Which is the most interesting fact in your opinion? Highlight the two example answers and get sts to give their opinions.

Tip Looking for pronunciation and spelling links between groups of new words is a great way to help sts process them intelligently and notice aspects which may help them remember them more easily. Tip Write the lesson title question on the board and ask: How many different types are there? Elicit answers. Who knows their blood type? If you know, stand up, please. Then ask standing individuals the question What’s your blood type? getting them to sit down as they answer.

10.5 Cultural note There are four blood types A, B, AB and O. Each blood type can be Rh+ or Rh– (rhesus positive or negative). Teach them how to say blood types in English (Type A+ (A positive), Type A– (A negative), Type B, Type AB and Type O /RƟ/ as in phone).

1. Your brain is very active when you sleep. 2. It says that if men don’t shave, a beard can grow to more than ten meters. 3. Your toenails grow slower than your fingernails. 4. Women are smaller than men, so their heart needs to move the blood faster. 5. The heart needs a lot of space. 6. The longest time a person can go with no sleep is 11 days. 7. When you eat or talk you are using your tongue. 8. The most common blood type is O.

in Action: Making choices A

Focus on photos 1-4 and elicit what sts can see (1 = an Italian and a Chinese restaurant; 2 = different ice cream flavors: strawberry, chocolate, banana, vanilla; 3 = three movies: The Vow, The Watch, Stolen; 4 = a beach, mountains). Sts listen to three conversations in which one group of pictures will not be mentioned. Ask them to match the three dialogs to three groups of pictures. Play 10.15. Paircheck. Classcheck.

10.15 Notice the connecting sounds. 1 A So, what do you think? B I’m not sure, Chinese or Italian? A Hmm, I prefer the Chinese restaurant, but it’s more expensive than the Italian. B Yes, and in the Italian restaurant the service is faster than in the Chinese. A I can’t decide. B Well, we’re not in a hurry, so let’s go to the Chinese restaurant. A OK. Sounds good. 2 C Hmm, which one is the best? A Well, chocolate and coconut are the sweetest ones, they’re actually too sweet for me. And I’m not a fan of strawberry, so I like banana best. C OK. I’ll have a banana ice cream, please. 3 A So, where do you want to go? To the beach or to the mountains? B Well, the beach is warmer than the mountains. A Yes, but it’s more peaceful in the mountains. B Well, I don’t know. I can’t decide. A OK, why don’t we go to the beach? We need to have some fun! B That sounds great. Dialog 1: photo 1 (They choose the Chinese restaurant.) Dialog 2: photo 2 (They choose the banana ice cream.) Dialog 3: photo 4 (They choose to go to the beach.)

B

Say: The people in the conversations were making decisions. Ask: Do you remember what they decided? Did they choose the Italian or the Chinese restaurant? Play 10.15 for sts to notice the decisions made in each dialog. Classcheck. Can you remember any other interesting phrases they said? Ask sts to go to AS 10.15 on p. 167. For one minute, have sts read the conversations. Ask them to close the books and, in pairs, tell each other all they can remember from dialogs 1-3. Classcheck.

C

In pairs, sts role-play one of the dialogs from AS

10.15. Then, ask some pairs of sts to role-play their

dialog to the whole class. Monitor and tell them which was the most popular.

Weaker classes Weaker sts may need to read it from AS 10.15 on p. 167, or at least refer to it.

Swap pairs. In pairs, sts create a similar dialog for picture 3 in A. Monitor closely and offer help when necessary. Ask sts to act out their dialogs for the whole class.

D MAKE IT PERSONAL Point to the photos of Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, and The Rolling Stones and elicit the artists’ names and briefly ask sts’ opinions of them and their music. Say: Imagine all of them are playing in (your town). Together (in pairs), they need to decide which gig they’re going to and say why. Sts refer to the adjectives in 5 box to help them create their dialogs. In pairs, sts act out their conversation and decide what to watch. Tip If sts struggle with language at this point, provide them with useful chunks / prompts on the board, e.g. So what do you think?, Why don’t we go to…?, I prefer…, He / She is more (fun / exciting / modern) than…, etc. Finally, ask sts to role-play their dialogs to the whole class.

Tip If you’re working with a small group, you could have the whole class talk and decide which gig to go to. Round off the class with the in Action title question and get sts to ask each other in pairs: “Is your English better than a year ago?”. Ask sts to report what their partners said to the whole class. Hopefully they’re all ending on a positive note!
