Oxford Parents is a new website where your students’ parents can find out how they can help their child with English. They can find lots of activities to do in the home or in everyday life. Even if the parent has little or no English, they can still find ways to help. We have lots of activities and videos to show parents how to do this. Studies have shown that practising English outside the classroom can really help children become more confident using the language. If they speak English with their parents, they will see how English can be used in real-life situations and this can increase the students’ motivation. Parents can help by practising stories, songs, and vocabulary that the students have already learned in the classroom. Tell your students’ parents to visit www.oup.com/elt/oxfordparents and have fun helping their children with English!

Steps Forward Student’s Book 1 The Student’s Book presents all the language covered by the course. It is based on a solid grammatical syllabus, and provides thorough practice of vocabulary, structures, functions and exam skills.

Step by step vocabulary Each unit opens with a vocabulary lesson, Word, words, words, in which 10–12 topic-related words are presented. The vocabulary presentation in the Student’s Book can be supported with the Flashcards, available to print from the Teacher’s Resource DVDROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Vocabulary has been chosen to correspond with the students’ own lives and interests and to cover the requirements of the Polish ministry syllabus (podstawa programowa). The topics include home, school, friends, family, travel, sports, music, health and nature. The students have a guide for these pages: a cartoon character who addresses them directly and introduces them to her world. Her presence in the artwork, and also in the audio, helps the students to connect with the new vocabulary and appreciate how it relates to their own life. Wherever possible, students are asked to personalize new vocabulary. Acquiring a broad and useful vocabulary in English means learning more than just individual words. Steps Forward also teaches frequent collocations (have breakfast, do your homework) and fixed expressions (It’s your turn. No way!). Furthermore, it enables students to develop vocabulary-learning skills, which they can use autonomously to expand their own vocabulary. Glossaries help students to understand occasional difficult words in reading texts, and a comprehensive wordlist at the back of the Student’s Book, arranged unit by unit, is an essential reference.

Step by step grammar Bringing new structures to life is an important step in language learning, especially with younger students. That’s why the initial language presentation in every unit takes the form of a humorous and engaging photostory. The story revolves around a Polish character who has recently moved to England. Each episode is selfcontained and connected with the unit topic, but at the same time forms part of an overall plot which will maintain students’ interest right through the book. Encountering new language in this format has several benefits. Firstly, it emphasizes the communicative value of the language and gives clear examples of the contexts in which the language can be used. Secondly, it allows students to hear and make sense of the language before they are asked to analyse or produce it. Thirdly, acting out the story gives the students controlled practice of the new language. Each new grammar point is then consolidated with clear grammar tables and graded practice, which begins with controlled exercises and gradually moves towards freer activities. This sequence of short, fun activities is motivating and rewarding for students and ensures that even grammar lessons are lively and engaging! Different students have different learning styles, which is why Steps Forward includes a variety of vehicles for new language. In every unit, a cartoon story with fun characters is used to consolidate the new structures that have been learnt. There are catchy, upbeat songs which serve the same purpose. The grammar tables have an engaging and original audio accompaniment to make them more appealing to auditory learners. They are supported by a set of Grammar cards, available to print from the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website, which makes grammar more accessible to visual and kinaesthetic learners, too. Learning grammar with Steps Forward is a multisensory experience! The approach to grammar in Steps Forward will cater for every student in your class whatever their learning style. There are even extra activities for students who finish early. And teachers and students who enjoy using technology in the classroom can opt to use the same rich variety of material on the interactive iTools as well!

Step by step skills

Step by step progress

There are many different kinds of Speaking activities throughout the book, with frequent opportunities for students to voice opinions, exchange information and describe the people and places they are familiar with. Specific training is given in important Functional language areas like making suggestions, giving directions and talking on the phone. Students are given simple model dialogues which they practise in pairs; they then prepare and perform their own dialogues. There is also a regular focus on Pronunciation, which prioritizes the sounds which Polish students have particular difficulty with.

Steps Forward is designed to produce real results in your English classroom. Each unit is carefully controlled in terms of language input and structured outcomes. New vocabulary and grammar are practised in a variety of contexts and formats so that students genuinely have time to absorb them.

Reading texts are factual and engaging, but also carefully graded and accessible. They cover a range of text types and present information about a wide variety of topics, all chosen to accord with young learners’ interests. Students interpret and react to the overall meaning of a text before being asked to find specific information. Task types for checking reading comprehension include multiple choice and true/false questions.

All teachers know that motivation is a key factor for successful language learning. Nothing is more motivating for students than to see that they are making measurable and steady progress, and Steps Forward allows them to do this in a lively and enjoyable manner.

Recycling is crucial when it comes to making progress. Each unit ends with a Revision page which consolidates the new language and skills, and each level of Steps Forward begins with a Welcome unit to revise and consolidate what the students have already learnt.

Short Listening activities occur whenever new vocabulary and grammar are presented, but there is also a dedicated Listening section which focuses exclusively on developing the Listening skill. The audio in these sections always features the characters from the photostory and usually continues and develops the photostory episode earlier in the unit. Students are tested on their understanding of the general meaning, and then asked to search for more detailed information. Each Writing section includes information about a specific subskill (punctuation, pronouns, sequencing words, etc.), which is practised in isolation before being incorporated into the final writing task. A model text makes clear what is required of the students and the outcome is always achievable and well-supported. Adequate preparation is the key to successful writing tasks.

Step by step culture Students learning English want to know about the country and culture, not just the vocabulary and grammar. Each unit includes a blog entry in which a particular aspect of British culture is seen through the eyes of the Polish character from the photostory. This gives students a clear insight into the British way of life and allows them to make comparisons with their own culture. These comparisons can be explored further by watching the documentary films on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM or iTools and also by doing the projects that are included in every unit. Of course the culture sections are not the only parts of the book which broaden the students’ knowledge of life in English-speaking countries. Many of the reading texts also serve this function. More importantly, the photostory gives the students direct access to everyday life in Britain and even the incidental details in the photos can be illuminating. The inclusion of authentic songs in Steps Forward 3 exposes students to another important aspect of British culture.

Step by step to exam success Steps to Success pages conclude every unit, and provide realistic practice questions covering all four sections of the upper primary exam. In Steps Forward 1, vocabulary and grammar are carefully graded, so that the questions are at an appropriate level and students gain confidence whilst familiarizing themselves with the types of questions they will need to answer in the upper primary exam. Tips are provided to encourage students to develop good strategies and the skills they need to succeed.

Preparing students for the upper primary exam • Give students lots of praise if they can identify which cat the dialogue in exercise 4 is about. Then explain that there will probably be questions of this type in the Listening section of the upper primary exam. Reassure students that there will be plenty of opportunities to practise this question type further as they work through the three levels of Steps Forward.

Initially, you might prefer to carry out the exam tasks as you would normally work through a listening or reading activity with the class. However, as the students become more confident, you might like to set these tasks under more exam-like conditions to prepare students for the exam. Tell students to read through the instructions and put up their hands if they have any questions. Then tell students to complete the exam task on their own, without talking.

First Steps Answer key

SB pp4–5 Teaching tips – Tomek and friends Before reading questions for exercise 1 • Explain to students that Dylan, Amy and Tomek are the main characters in the book and that you will be following a story about them throughout the book. Point to the characters and introduce them to students. Explain that Dylan and Amy are English, but that Tomek is Polish. He moved to England with his family and is starting his first day at his new school. • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen by looking at the photos and discussing what is happening. Ask students, in Polish: Where are the children? What are the children doing in Picture (1)? Pictures 1–2: Amy and Tomek are at school. They are talking. • Picture 3: Amy is introducing Dylan to Tomek. Picture 4: Tomek is holding up his mobile phone. • In a stronger class, ask students to guess what the children are saying to each other in Pictures 1 to 3. (They are introducing themselves.) Acting out the story • Read the story around the class. Then invite volunteers to read out the lines. • Ask students to form groups of three. Assign characters and give students time to practise acting out the story. Invite groups of students to act out the story in front of the class. Class discussion Ask students to tell you whether or not they have a mobile phone and how often they use it to call or text. Alphabet chant Say the letter sounds slowly and clearly. Encourage students to listen to you and repeat. Then play the Class audio CD. Encourage students to listen and repeat the chant in time with the rhythm, first chorally, then individually. Optional activities • Write the alphabet on the board, with some letters missing. Invite students to call out the missing letters. • Play a spelling game in two teams. Ask students from each team in turn to spell a word from SB pp4–5.

SB pp6–7 Teaching tip – Words, words, words When presenting the new words in this section, ask students to point to the items in the picture. Say Show me the (desk). to students around the class. As students become more familiar with the new words, you can say the words from each set faster and faster as students race to point to the correct items in the picture. Optional activities • Ask students to say what colour each item is in the picture on SB p6. • Ask students to think of an item in the picture and say what colour it is. Invite other students to guess what the item is. The student who guesses correctly then takes a turn to think of an item, e.g. It’s blue. It’s a book. No! It’s the bookcase. Yes! • Play a game of Draw and guess. (You can find instructions for this and other games on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website.) Divide the class into two teams. Start drawing an item on the board. Students from each team call out guesses as to what the item is. The student who guesses correctly wins a point for their team and takes a turn to draw an item on the board.

SB p8 Teaching tips – Numbers 1–20 • Write the numbers 1–20 on the board. Point to each number in order and say the word. Students repeat after you, chorally first, then individually. • Point to the numbers and ask students to say the words. Point to them in order first, then randomly. If you have time, you can ask students to make a number chart for the classroom wall. • Divide a large sheet of paper or card into 20 squares (4x5). • Write the numbers 1–20 in the top left corner of each square and the word for each number in the top right corner of each square. • Students can then draw small pictures of the correct number of items in each square (e.g. one apple, two kites, three rulers, etc.), or use coloured stickers to complete the number chart. Song Steps iTools contains a karaoke version of the song so that students can try to sing along to the tune. As an optional activity, give students numbers to sing, so three or five different students sing the lines with numbers in them (lines 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9).

Teaching tip – First Grammar Steps The grammar cards are available on the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. You can use these to play a variety of games to reinforce each new grammar structure. • To practise a and an, invite individual students to the front of the class. Hand out the nouns which students know in the grammar card pack. Add some more, writing the words on pieces of paper. Hold up the a and an cards. Ask students with the noun cards to choose which article goes with their word and to write the combination on the board. • In a weaker class, ask students to sound out the word as they write it to help students work out whether the word begins with a vowel or a consonant. Classroom language • Play a game of Simon Says. You can find full instructions for this game on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Use the classroom language. • In a stronger class, invite individual students to come to the front of the class and call out the instructions. Remind them that they should say some instructions without beginning with Simon Says …

Teaching tip – Words, words, words Tell students to turn their notebooks upside down and back to front, so that the back page of their notebooks becomes the first page. Tell them to write the heading Vocabulary at the top of this page, then to write the sub-heading Unit 1 underneath. Students should write the new words from each unit in this section of their notebooks, under appropriate headings. For example, the heading for this unit should be Family. To help students remember the meanings of the words in their Vocabulary sections, ask them to draw small pictures, a family tree or write short sentences (e.g. Helen is my mum.). Warm up questions In grade 4, it’s fine for students to answer warm up questions in Polish if they do not have sufficient knowledge of English vocabulary and structures to do so in English. For stronger students Photocopiable vocabulary extra worksheets are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website to extend the vocabulary set of the unit. You can download the worksheets and hand them out to your stronger students. Tip The Family topic is a particularly frequent one in the upper primary exam: students often have to identify which family member is speaking, or identify family members in pictures. It’s therefore important that students are confident about using words for family members.

Teaching tip – Language Steps Suggest students revise Everyday English phrases by writing the expressions on individual cards, with the English on one side and the Polish on the other. Tell them to keep the cards in a convenient place so they can take them out from time to time and look at them. Students can test themselves by looking at the English expressions and remembering the Polish, or as they get better at remembering, look at the Polish and think of the English.

SB p14 Teaching tip – Grammar Steps 1 The grammar tables are recorded by Clanker in a fun and rhythmical way so they’re easy to remember. These grammar chants are helpful for students with auditory intelligence, and provide important pronunciation practice of the new structures in a lively, fun way. Play the recording and encourage students to listen and repeat the sentences in time with the rhythm. There is a sound on the audio to indicate when students should begin each sentence. The grammar summary in the back of the WB provides a clear reference which students can easily refer to when completing activities in class or at home. Make sure students are aware of this section and know where to find it. Extension idea for exercise 2 • In a weaker class, write incorrect sentences on the board and ask students to correct them, e.g. My best friend are Maria. My socks am blue. • In a stronger class, begin a sentence orally, or on the board, and ask students to complete it, e.g. My best friend … My socks …

Teaching tip – Functional Steps Encourage students to have fun with the model dialogue when they practise it in pairs. Teach them to copy the intonation of the speakers on the audio. If you like, you can also ask students to deliver the dialogue as different characters. They could play a shy person or a confident person, a noisy person or a quiet person, a very old person or a very young person, etc. Steps to Success Exercise 5 helps students to prepare for the Language Functions in Use section of the upper primary exam. You can give your students extra practice in choosing the correct responses to questions by having a short question and answer session at the start of each lesson. Ask everyday questions such as How are you? How old are you? When’s your birthday? What day is it today?, etc. and elicit answers from students around the class. Extension idea for exercise 2 Tell students to close their books. Play audio 1.27 again, but pause the CD after each question. Students answer the question as though they’re Kelly or Will.

SB pp16–17 Teaching tip – Grammar Steps 2 Grammar cards Grammar cards are available online on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. They can be used to enhance the grammar presentation, e.g. • Invite groups of students to the front of the class. • Hand each student a grammar card. • Ask students to stand in a row, holding their cards in the correct order to form a sentence. • Alternatively, ask other students in the class to tell the students at the front where to stand. You can find a list of other grammar card activities on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Extension activity for exercise 3 When students have completed exercise 3 in their notebooks, ask them to put a cross (g) next to each sentence with the negative form of be and a tick (f) next to each sentence with the affirmative form of be. Tell students to underline the forms of be in each sentence. This will help them to remember the difference between affirmative and negative forms of be. Song Audio track 1.31 is a karaoke version of the song that students can sing along to. As an optional activity, you can invite pairs of students to the front of the class to sing karaoke. The other students in the class can vote for their favourite performance. Notebook work If you have time, you can ask students to write full sentences in their notebooks for some exercises, such as exercise 5. This will be more meaningful for them when they look back at their work. If you like, you can tell students to underline the forms of be in their notebooks when they have completed the sentences. Before reading questions for exercise 7 • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish (if necessary): Who can you see in the pictures? Where are they? What are they doing? Picture 1: Ben and Nicky are watching Ben’s mum make a robot, Clanker, in a shed. Picture 2: Clanker is in the garden taking a cup of tea to Ben’s dad. Picture 3: Clanker is giving the tea to Nicky. Picture 4: Clanker is giving the tea to a rabbit. Picture 5: Ben is showing Clanker where Dad is – in the house. Picture 6: Dad is scared of Clanker. Ben and Nicky are laughing. • Ask students to tell you why Clanker is sorry at the end of the story. Tell them to answer in Polish. (Clanker frightened Ben’s dad.)

Acting out the story Getting students to act out the story will build their confidence in speaking. • Read the story around the class by inviting volunteers to read out the lines. • Ask students to form groups of four and practise acting out the story. Then invite groups to perform their story for the class. DID YOU KNOW?

George Devol and Joseph Engelberger formed the world’s first robot company in 1956. In the 1960s, robots were used in car factories to move car parts around. Today, there are more than a million industrial robots in use. Nearly half of them are in Japan.

SB pp18–19 Teaching tip – Skills Steps Reading skills tip Prepare the class for reading the text by asking some pre-reading questions. • Ask students to look at the photos and discuss the people in them. Ask Who are the people in the photos? Are the men in the ties friends or family members? • In a weaker class, you can ask the questions in Polish if your students cannot understand them in English at this stage. • In a stronger class, ask students in English and help them give their answers in English too. Steps to Success Tell students that exercise 3 is similar to a question type that will be included in the upper primary exam. However, in the exam, students will be expected to choose from three answer options. Writing skills tip • In a weaker class, help students to complete the chart and prepare for the writing activity by asking the following questions: What’s your name? Where are you from? How old are you? When’s your birthday? Who are your brothers and sisters? How old are they? • Once students have completed their charts, invite them to ask and answer the same questions in pairs. • In a stronger class, tell students to write a profile about their best friend as well as about themselves.

Teaching tip – Culture Steps • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen to Tomek’s blog by looking at the photos and discussing the people in them. Ask students (in Polish if necessary): Who are the people in the two photos? • In a stronger class, ask students to write three sentences saying what they know about the British royal family, e.g. Elizabeth is the Queen. Charles is the Queen’s son. Students can then check their ideas against the information in the blog. Teaching tip – Project Photocopiable preparation worksheets for all projects are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. You can download them and hand them out to your students. Encourage students to give their presentations in different ways, such as using PowerPoint, flipcharts, etc.

Teaching tip – Revision If you set the exercises in the Revision section as homework, check the answers at the beginning of the next lesson. Invite a student to read out his / her answers for the others to check their work against. Students should raise their hand if they think they’ve spotted a mistake. Encourage students to discuss answers respectfully and considerately. If you do the revision exercises in class and have fast finishers, ask them to write an email to an Internet pen friend, using the email in exercise 3 as a model. Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – The magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Encourage students to read it for pleasure.

Queen Elizabeth II doesn’t stay at Buckingham Palace all the time. She often spends time in her other homes: Balmoral Castle in Scotland, Windsor Castle, outside London, and Sandringham House in Norfolk. Buckingham Palace has got 240 bedrooms and 78 bathrooms. There are 1,514 doors and 760 windows in the palace. The windows are cleaned every six weeks. There’s also a huge garden, where the Queen holds parties every summer. Queen Elizabeth II has many guards, but the most famous ones are the Queen’s Guard. They wear red jackets and big hats called bearskins. The bearskins are made of real bear skin from Canadian brown bears. The Queen’s Guardsmen are not allowed to move, but they only stand still for about ten minutes at a time. After about ten minutes, they march up and down.

When we’re learning a language, we need regular practice to make us fluent and confident. Revising the language regularly helps us to remember what we have learnt.

SB p22 Teaching tip – Steps to Success In several parts of the upper primary exam (listening comprehension, and knowledge of grammar and vocabulary), students will need to look carefully at pictures of a scene and think about what they can see. Prepare students for this by giving them plenty of practice observing detail in busy pictures. You can use pictures from the Student’s Book or bring pictures to class. Encourage students to ask and answer questions about the pictures, e.g. Where are the (people / animals)?, How many (children / dogs) can you see?, Who has got (long hair / red shoes)?, etc. The exercise on this page prepares students for the listening comprehension question identifying the position of people in a picture. Before starting this exam practice activity, focus students’ attention on the picture and ask: Who are the people in the picture? (A family. Mum, Dad, brother, sister.) Where is the family? (In the garden.) What animal is in the picture? (A dog.) Is the dog small? (No, it isn’t. It’s big.) What else is in the picture? (A tree.) Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the words, one at a time, and ask students to point to the correct people in the picture. Then point to the people in the picture and ask students to say the correct words from the wordlist. To complete the activity: • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Read out the list of names and ask students to say whether each name is for a boy / man or a girl / woman. • Read out the Tip box and check that students understand. • Play the recording for the first time. Students listen and write their answers in their notebooks in pencil. • Play the recording again. Students listen and check their answers, correcting any answers they got wrong the first time. • Check answers as a class, by asking Who is (James)? and asking students to point to the correct people in the picture.

Teaching tip – Words, words, words You can find printable flashcards for each unit on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. These can be used to present the new words in each unit. Hold up each flashcard, say the word and ask the class to repeat chorally, then individually. Correct pronunciation as necessary. You can also use the flashcards to play games to check understanding of the new vocabulary items or revise words from a previous unit. For stronger students Photocopiable Vocabulary extra activities are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website to extend the vocabulary set of the unit. You can download them and hand them out to your stronger students. Tip You can use the pictures in each Words, words, words section to practise identifying items in pictures of scenes with your class. Ask students around the class questions about the picture, e.g. How many children are there? What colour is the door? How many desks are there? Where is the computer? What colour is the teacher’s jacket?

Teaching tip – Learning Steps This section helps to prepare students for the Listening section of the upper primary exam, in particular for questions identifying the position of objects in a picture. Before doing the exercises in this section tell students that when they listen for details in the exam, it helps to think about what words they need to listen for. Tell them that they can underline key words in exam questions (e.g. home) before listening and think about what people and things are connected to that key word (e.g. bedroom, kitchen, living room, Mum, etc.). Play the recording for exercise 1 and ask students to say what place (home or school) they think each group of words is describing. For exercise 2, ask what the key words are in the question (home and school).

WARM UP QUESTION

Teaching tip – Language Steps To encourage students to use the Everyday English phrases naturally, you can keep a score of every time a student uses one of the phrases in an everyday situation. Have a sheet of paper with all of your students’ names on it, and add a point for a student every time they use one of the phrases in the correct way to their friends or to you. For example, if a student asks you how you are, greets you with Good to see you, or says Bye! when they leave the class, you can award them one point. You can announce the winner at the end of each lesson and / or at the end of the week. Teaching tip – Pronunciation • Encourage students to listen and repeat the questions and answers and clap on the words which are stressed. • Encourage students to do this with more questions and answers using single syllable words from Student’s Book p23, e.g. Where’s the bin? It’s near the door. Where’s the shelf? It’s near the floor.

Teaching tip – Functional Steps Encourage students to have fun with the model dialogue when they practise it in pairs. Tell students that they can add gestures and actions to their dialogue to make it more realistic, e.g. looking at their watch, hitting their foreheads to show panic, leaving in a rush, etc. Optional activity Draw a blank clock face on the board. Invite individual students to the front of the class. The student asks What’s the time? Choose another student in the class to say a time, e.g. It’s half past four. Then the student at the board draws the correct time on the clock face. Optional activity Ask students to make a timetable for their day’s lessons. • In a weaker class, ask students questions about their timetable, e.g. What time is your maths lesson? (It’s at ten o’clock.) • In a stronger class, ask students to describe their timetable to the class, e.g. Maths is a ten o’clock.

The conversation is at home. The words ‘your room’ and ‘Dad’ should help students to decide. EXERCISE 3

SB p26 Teaching tip – Grammar Steps 1 If you have time, you can use the grammar cards from the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website to play a game. Invite two pairs of students to the front of the class. Hand one pair of students grammar cards to form a question and hand the other pair of students grammar cards to form the short answer. Make sure there’s an extra card in each set which students do not need to use. Ask students to stick their grammar cards on the board in the correct order. Then hold up the extra card. Extension activity – exercise 5 • In a weaker class, ask students questions Are you eleven? Is your mum a singer? Are your friends English? and elicit answers. • In a stronger class, ask students to ask and answer questions around the class.

Teaching tip – Grammar Steps 2 After students have repeated the questions and answers in the table. Encourage them to ask and answer more questions using question words. Write prompts on the board for them to ask and answer in pairs, e.g. your favourite colour / TV programme, your dad’s / mum’s birthday, your school bag / pencil case You can play a game using the grammar cards. Divide the class into two teams. Hand one team the grammar cards for the four question words. Write a question on the board with the question word left blank, e.g. (____’s her name? / ____’s his birthday? / ____ is your teacher? / ____ are my books?). The first team puts the correct card on the board to complete the question. Award two points for each correct question. The second team gives a suitable answer. Award one point for each suitable answer. Swap teams and repeat the game to see who gets the most points. Song Ask students to think of other ideas for the questions in the song. Remind them that the words will need to have the same beats as the version in the book. Invite students to sing their versions along with the karaoke music. The other students in the class can vote for the best song. Vocabulary You can use the flashcards to teach the school subjects. • Hold up each flashcard, say the word and ask the class to repeat chorally, then individually. Correct pronunciation as necessary. • Ask two students to come to the front of the class. Show the students a flashcard. The students write the word on the board as quickly as they can. The student who spells the word correctly first is the winner. Extension idea for exercise 7 • In a weaker class, ask individual students questions about their timetable, e.g. When’s your maths lesson? It’s on Thursday. • In a stronger class, invite students to ask and answer questions in pairs. Before reading questions for exercise 8 • In a weaker class, prepare students to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish: Where is (Ben / Nicky / Clanker)? What is (Ben / Nicky / Clanker) doing in Picture (1)? Picture 1 – Ben and Clanker are arriving at school. Picture 2 – Clanker is running in the school. Picture 3 – Ben, Nicky and Clanker are in an art lesson. Picture 4 – Clanker is showing Ben and Nicky his picture. Picture 5 – Clanker is covering a boy in yellow paint. Picture 6 – The boy is chasing Clanker and Clanker is running away. • Ask students to tell you why Clanker is running at the end of the story. (He’s running away from the boy, who is angry with Clanker for covering him in yellow paint). Class discussion Ask students to tell you about works of art they have seen. Ask them whether they find art ‘difficult’ and why.

SB pp30–31 Teaching tip – Skills Steps Reading skills tip Prepare the class for reading the text by looking at the photos and discussing what they show. (A classroom and African countryside.) • In a stronger class, ask students to say what they think the text is going to be about (a school in Nigeria) and what information they expect to read in the text (a description of Aliko’s classroom, the subjects he studies and his favourite subject). Steps to Success Tell students that exercise 2 is similar to a question type that will be included in the upper primary exam. However, in the exam, there will be an additional extra option (a distractor). Writing skills tip If you have fast finishers, ask them to swap their work with a partner and check that their partner has used commas in the correct places. Alternatively, ask students to write more questions about Aliko for their partners to answer. If your students require more writing practice, you can find extra worksheets to help develop writing skills on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. DID YOU KNOW?

The school year in Nigeria starts in September. All children have to go to school for 38 or 39 weeks of the year. Most Nigerian schools have school uniforms. There are often rules about hairstyles, jewellery and accessories, too.

Teaching tip – Culture Steps • Tell students they are going to read about British primary schools. Ask them what information they expect to find in the text. Write a list of ideas on the board and refer back to it later. Tick the ideas that were correctly predicted. Teaching tip – Project Photocopiable preparation worksheets for all projects are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. You can download them and hand them out to your students. Encourage students to give their presentations in different ways, such as using PowerPoint, flipcharts, etc.

Teaching tip – Revision If you set the exercises in the Revision section as homework, check the answers at the beginning of the next lesson. Invite a student to read out his / her answers for the others to check their work against. Students should raise their hand if they think they’ve spotted a mistake. Encourage students to discuss answers respectfully and considerately. If you do the revision exercises in class and have fast finishers, ask them to write sentences about the picture in exercise 1, e.g. The dictionary is on the bookcase. DID YOU KNOW?

Your brain will learn best when you’re feeling happy and calm. Focus on what you have achieved rather than what you don’t know. Try to feel positive. You can do it!

DID YOU KNOW?

Many schools in the UK have after school Club websites where students can have extra practice in sports, computers, music, art, dancing or drama. Lots of schools also have a breakfast Club website where students can go before school. These are very useful for children who start school after their parents go to work. They can have breakfast with their friends before they start lessons. Some primary schools in the UK have school pets. Pets can help children develop social skills, learn about human behaviour, identify body language, and develop self-esteem. Regular contact with animals can also help children to concentrate, be more cooperative and become calmer.

SB p34 Teaching tip – Steps to Success In the knowledge of language functions part of the upper primary exam, there are two types of question (multiple choice reactions in an illustrated dialogue, and matching reactions to descriptions of situations in Polish). In both question types, students need to choose the correct response from a set of options. Help students to prepare for this section of the exam by having regular question and answer sessions in which you ask a variety of everyday questions such as How are you? How old are you? What’s your name? Where are you from? Where’s the computer? What’s the time? Is it Monday today? etc. and elicit answers from students around the class. Before starting the first activity, focus students’ attention on each of the pictures and ask: Who are the people in the picture? Where are the people? Who is asking the question? Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the sentences, one at a time, and ask students to think of a suitable answer for each question and a suitable question or sentence to go before each sentence, (e.g. What’s the time? It’s one o’clock / When’s your birthday? It’s in March.) The first exercise prepares students for questions involving multiple choice relations in an illustrated dialogue. To complete the first activity: • Read out the Tip box and ask questions to check that students understand it. • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Read out the first question and ask students to say which of the options is the correct answer. Tell them to write the correct letter (c) in their notebooks. • Allow time for students to complete the remaining two items on their own. • Check answers as a class, by asking the questions and eliciting the correct answers from students around the class. Before starting the second activity (matching reactions to descriptions of situations in Polish), focus students’ attention on the Polish sentences and ask students to suggest what the key words are: hurry, late, can’t stop. Tell students that finding the key words in exam questions will help them to find the correct answers.

The Language Functions in Use part of the primary school leaving exam counts for approximately 20% of the total exam points. Students should be able to: • supply basic personal information as well as introduce themselves and family members • say how old they are and where they live • talk about preferences • talk about possessions and abilities • ask for information • express emotions • make requests and express thanks But knowledge of language functions is tested in written form.

Teaching tip – Words, words, words The pictures in each Words, words, words section are ideal for vocabulary revision, as they contain many items which students will be familiar with. You can use these pictures to review the words from previous units at the start of each new unit. • Ask students to look at the picture and make a list of the words they know. • Call out words, e.g. cat, dog, bike, table and tell students to point to the things in the picture. • In a stronger class, call out the words very fast. Optional activity • Tell students to think of an object in the picture on Student’s Book p37. Students work in pairs and guess the object, e.g. Is it in the kitchen? No, it isn’t. Is it in the garden? Yes, it is. Is it a tree? Yes, it is! Tip Use the picture on Student’s Book p37 to help your students identify places, in preparation for the listening comprehension section of the upper primary exam. • Tell students to look at the picture. Describe one of the rooms, saying what there is in the room, e.g. It’s a big room. The wall is yellow. There’s a bookcase and there are two beds. The beds are blue. … • Students point to the correct room and say the correct word.

Teaching tip – Grammar Steps 1 • For further practice of There’s (is) / There are, write gapped sentences on the board or use the grammar cards to form gapped sentences, e.g. There ____ a cat in the garden. Invite individual students to the front of the class. Ask the student to write the correct word (or stick the correct grammar card) on the board to complete the sentence. Extension idea for exercise 5 • In a weaker class, say false sentences about the picture and ask individual students to correct them, e.g. There’s a ruler on the desk. No! There’s a ruler in the bin. • In a stronger class, ask students to say and correct sentences in pairs. Tip Being familiar with prepositions of place will help students in the upper primary exam, as they will need to identify where people and things are, which is useful in the Listening and Reading sections. You can help to prepare your students for this by playing a variety of games from the list of optional activities on the Oxford Teachers’ Club website (such as That’s wrong!, What is it?, Where is it? or an adaptation of Simon Says in which you tell students where to put a small item, such as a rubber or pencil sharpener).

SB p41 Teaching tip – Functional Steps Being able to give your name and address in English is a useful and important skill. Invite students to practise the dialogue in exercise 1 again using their own details. You could ask students to complete membership cards for their partners in their notebooks as they act out the dialogue. Extension activity If you have time, ask students to think about what other Club websites they might want to join (a computer Club website / sports Club website / music Club website, etc.) and act out similar dialogues to complete membership cards for those Club websites. Help students to think of opening lines for each dialogue (e.g. What time does computer Club website start? / What time does the football match start? / What time does the concert start?), then allow them time to practise their dialogue in pairs.

Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 2 Grammar audio Encourage students to listen and repeat the sentences in time with the rhythm, first chorally, then individually. Grammar cards • For further practice of sentences with There isn’t / There aren’t, divide the class into two teams. Invite a student from each team to the board. Stick the grammar cards for a plural sentence and a singular sentence on the board, but jumbled up in a similar way. Tell one student that they have to form a plural sentence. Tell the other student that they have to form a singular sentence. Students race to form their sentences from the jumbled grammar cards. The first student to correctly finish their sentence wins a point for their team. • For further practice of questions and answers, divide the class into two teams. Hand one team grammar cards to form questions. Hand the other team the grammar cards with the answers. The first team holds up the grammar cards to form a question (in the correct order). The second team holds up cards to give the correct answer. The first team gets two points for making a correct question and the other team gets one point for making a correct answer. Swap teams and repeat the game to see which team gets the most points. Song Divide the class into two groups. The first group sings the questions in the song. The second group sings the answers. Then ask students to swap roles, so they have a turn at singing both roles. Extension idea for exercise 2 • In a weaker class, ask individual students questions about Picture B, e.g. Is there a red door? No, there isn’t. • In a stronger class, invite students to ask and answer questions in pairs. Before reading questions for exercise 7 • In a weaker class, prepare students to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish: Where is (Clanker / Ben / Nicky)? What is (Clanker / Ben / Nicky) doing in picture (1)? Picture 1: Ben and Clanker are in the house. Clanker is carrying lots of clothes. Picture 2: Ben and Nicky are looking for Clanker. Picture 3: Ben and Nicky are confused. Picture 4: Clanker is watching the washing machine. Picture 5: Ben is running away from the bathroom. Picture 6: Ben is looking at a pile of burnt clothes which were in the oven. • Ask students to tell you in Polish why Clanker is sorry at the end of the story. (Because he has burnt all the clothes by putting them in the oven instead of the washing machine.) Class discussion Ask students to tell you what appliances they have in their house and whether they have any appliances which go wrong sometimes. Unit 3

Teaching tip – Skills Steps Reading skills tip Students often find it easier to focus on reading a text after they have been immersed in a creative activity. This helps to engage their minds. You can play one of the games from the optional activities sheet on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and Oxford Teachers’ Club website before carrying out each reading activity to help engage your class. Writing skills tip Knowing that there’s an audience for their writing will encourage students to produce better quality writing. You can tell students to style their work as an email to a friend, or display work in the classroom so that students know their writing will be read. If you have fast finishers, ask them to write about another room in their house. If your students require more writing practice, you can find extra worksheets to help develop writing skills on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website

Many people say they have seen ghosts at Warwick Castle. The ghost which people see the most often, and the one Dylan talks about, is Sir Fulke Greville. He died in 1628, and people say that his ghost comes out from his portrait. Some people say they have heard his footsteps walking around one of the towers. This tower is now called the Ghost Tower.

Teaching tip – Culture Steps When students have finished reading the text, ask additional questions to check their understanding. • In a stronger class, you can ask students to write three questions about the text, then ask and answer the questions with a partner. Teaching tip – Project Photocopiable preparation worksheets for all projects are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Teaching tip – DVD Show the documentary film about Warwick Castle and use the photocopiable DVD worksheets on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website.

Teaching tip – Revision Write the vocabulary items on the board (or stick the flashcards from the unit on the board) in any order and a little bit higher than the tallest student can reach, so that they’ll have to jump. Give a Polish translation for one of the words on the board (or say the English word for a flashcard). Students run to the board and jump up to touch the correct word or flashcard. The first student to touch the right word / flashcard gets a point. Alternatively, divide the class into teams and have one person from each team run to the board. The first team member to touch the correct word gets the point for his or her team. Each team then sends a student forward for the next word. If you do the revision exercises in class and have fast finishers, ask them to write sentences about the pictures in exercise 1, e.g. There are boxes in the attic. Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – The magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teacher’s Club website. DID YOU KNOW?

Help students to use the new words from each unit by using some of the games in the optional activities list on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website (e.g. Chain Stories, Guess who/ what!, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?). Alternatively, you can ask students to try to make a story with as many of the new words from the unit as possible, then tell their story to the class.

Teaching tip – Steps to Success In the reading part of the upper primary exam, there are three types of question. For the multiple choice question, students will need to read a text, then choose the correct picture from three options to answer a set of questions. You can help to prepare your students for this type of exercise in the exam by setting similar sets of questions about some of the texts in the Student’s Book. • In a stronger class, you can ask students to write their own sets of questions (approximately three to begin with), then swap questions with a partner. • Before starting the exam practice activity, focus students’ attention on each of the pictures, or set of pictures, and ask, e.g. What’s this? Where is it? Is this house big or small? How many floors has the house got? What can you see in the (room / garden)? Focus students’ attention on the wordlist box. Read out the words, one at a time, and ask students to make sentences with each of the words. To complete the activity: • Read out the Tip box and ask questions to check that students understand it. • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Allow students time to read the email and the questions through once. Then tell them to read the first question again, find the answer in the text, and then write the corresponding letter for the correct picture (a) in their notebooks. • Allow time for students to answer the remaining questions on their own. • Check answers as a class by asking the questions and eliciting the correct answers from students around the class. Ask students to read out the information in the email which gave them the correct answer. If you have fast finishers, you can ask them to write an email to a friend describing their house, using the email in exercise 1 as a model.

The Reading part of the primary school leaving exam counts for approximately 30% of the total exam points. Students should be able to: • read for gist • read for specific information • identify text types, e.g. an invitation, a text message, an email, etc.

SB p49 Teaching tip – Words, words, words To check understanding of the new activity words, invite individual students to the front of the class. Show them a flashcard or whisper an activity verb to them. The student mimes the activity. Other students call out the correct word. Exercise 5 Tell students that they should all obey you only if you first say the words Simon says. Tell them that they’re out of the game if they follow an order that doesn’t begin with Simon says, or if they fail to do what Simon says to do. Begin by saying something like, Simon says, swim. Look to make sure everybody is miming the action. Give another order such as, Simon says, climb a tree. Check again. Continue giving orders. Mix it up and say something like, Ride a bike, without first saying Simon says. Students who mime the action are out. Play the game until only one student is left. That student is the winner. For stronger students Remember to hand out the photocopiable Vocabulary extra activities available on the Teacher’s Resource DVDROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Tip Practise identifying people in a picture of a scene by their actions with a game. Tell students to think of a person in the picture and, using the listening activity as a model, say Look at me! I can (ride a bike). Their partners look at the picture and say the correct number, e.g. (for I can ride a bike) Number 4!

Teaching tip – Learning Steps This section helps students prepare for the Language Functions in Use questions in the upper primary exam, in which they need to choose the correct responses to questions or statements. You can give your students extra practice in using everyday language by making time to talk to students about themselves in each lesson. By regularly asking students about themselves, their families and friends, their birthdays, their hobbies and their problems, you will make them feel comfortable and familiar with using the correct responses to everyday questions.

SB pp56–57 Teaching tip – Skills Steps Reading skills tip To help students understand a reading text, encourage them to visualize while they’re reading. You can show students how to do this by pausing at certain points in each reading text and describing your own visualization (what the text makes you imagine about a place or person) and encouraging students to do the same. Writing skills tip Encourage students to assess their own writing before handing it in by reading through it and checking for spelling and grammar mistakes. If you have fast finishers, ask them to write similar profiles about themselves, saying what sports / actions they can do. If your students require more writing practice, you can find extra worksheets to help develop writing skills on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Steps to Success Tell students that exercise 6 is similar to a question type that will be included in the upper primary exam.

SB p59 Teaching tip – Revision Ask students to work alone and write down any words they can remember from the unit on a piece of paper. Allow five minutes maximum for this. Help weaker students to make sure everyone writes something. In pairs, students swap lists and write down each other’s words. Then join pairs to make groups of four. Students compare lists and write down any words they do not have on their own lists. Break the groups to form new groups of four and repeat the exchange. Do this until the whole class has all the words on their piece of paper. Ask students to take turns to write a word on the board until the whole list is on the board. Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – The magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website.

DID YOU KNOW?

People who learn languages easily aren’t frightened of asking questions. They know it’s the best way to learn. Asking questions when you don’t know something will improve your confidence, because you learn that you can solve your problems. Students who have questions, but don’t answer them can feel stressed. So if you don’t understand something, ask your teacher.

SB p60 Teaching tip – Steps to Success In the Grammar and Vocabulary in Use part of the upper primary exam, students will need to choose the correct options to complete sentences about a picture. You can help to prepare your students for this section of the exam by using pictures in the Student’s Book. Choose pictures and ask students questions about the people and things in each scene using the grammar structures and vocabulary taught in the course so far, e.g. What can the boy do? Where is the girl? What has the boy got? etc. Before starting the first activity, focus students’ attention on the picture and ask: How many people are there? What have they got? What colour is (this boy’s T-shirt)? What can (this girl) do? Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the descriptive phrases, one at a time, and ask students to point to the correct people in the picture. Say more descriptive phrases about people in the class and ask students to say who you’re describing. To complete the first activity: • Read out the Tip box and check that students understand. • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Read out the first question and ask students to say which of the options is the correct answer. Tell them to write the correct letter (b) in their notebooks. • Allow time for students to complete the remaining two items on their own. • Check answers as a class by reading out the first part of each sentence and eliciting the correct answers from students around the class. The other question type students will answer in the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary part of the upper primary exam involves matching words to gaps. Students will need to choose the correct words to complete a short text. The Student’s Book activities provide plenty of practice at completing gapped sentences and texts, but if you want to give your students extra practice, you can write a gapped extract from one of the Student’s Book texts on the board with a set of words for students to choose from. The answer options given in the exam often contain words which are similar to each other, but different grammatically or in meaning, e.g. their / there, so you will need to tell students to think very carefully when choosing words to complete the text and to look at the words surrounding each gap to help them decide whether the missing word is a singular or plural noun, a positive or negative verb, and if a verb, what tense it should be. Before starting the second activity, focus students’ attention on the words in the box and ask them to say whether each word is a noun or a verb and whether the verbs are positive or negative. Tell them that taking a minute to think about the types of words they can choose from will help them to find the right words to complete the text.

52

To complete the second activity: • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Read out the text up to the first gap and ask students to say which of the options is the correct answer. Tell them to write the correct letter (b) in their notebooks. • Allow time for students to complete the rest of the exercise on their own. • Check answers as a class, by inviting students to read out completed sentences from the text.

Teaching tips – Words, words, words Vocabulary review To review vocabulary from previous units, you can play a game of Living Bingo using the printable flashcards. Hand out a flashcard to each student and divide the class into groups of four or more. Each group stands in a corner with their cards. Call out the words for the flashcards one at a time. The student with the correct flashcard sits down. The first team with all its members sitting is the winner. (Bingo!) For stronger students Remember to hand out the photocopiable Vocabulary extra activities available on the Teacher’s Resource DVDROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website.

Teaching tip – Language Steps Play a game to practise the Everyday English phrases taught so far. Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Say the Polish translation of one of the phrases to Team A and ask them to say the phrase in English. Repeat with each team in turn, awarding one point for each correct phrase. The team with the most points is the winner.

Teaching tip – Functional Steps If you have time, bring some other pictures of animals (dogs, cats and other pets) to the lesson for students to use when making dialogues of their own. Encourage students to have fun with the model dialogue and to practise it with details of animals in the pictures. If they want to, they can make their dialogues about unusual animals (e.g. Is my dragon here? It’s quite big. It’s green, but it’s got a long, red tail.). Tip Play a game to give students further practice in listening to multiple choice questions. • Ask three boys or three girls to come and stand at the front of the class. • Describe one of the three students without saying their name. Mention some aspects that all three children have in common and some aspects in which the child you are describing is different, e.g. He’s tall. He’s got short hair. He’s got a red T-shirt. The rest of the class tries to guess who you are describing.

SB pp68–69 Teaching tip – Grammar Steps 2 Grammar cards • Invite six students to come to the front of the class. Hand them the following six cards in random order: I ’VE GOT A CAT . • Tell students to stick their cards in a row on the board to form a correct sentence. • Hold up the card HAVEN’T and ask students to tell you which card on the board this could take the place of to make the sentence negative. • Stick HAVEN’T on top of ’VE. Elicit from the class that ’VE is short for have, and HAVEN’T is short for have not. • Repeat the procedure with the following cards: WE ’VE GOT A DOG and HAVEN’T YOU ’VE GOT A COMPUTER and HAVEN’T Optional activity It’s useful to reinforce the grammar students are learning with additional listening and speaking activities. • Say a false sentence about people in the classroom and invite students to correct the information by first giving a negative sentence then giving a true affirmative sentence, e.g. Maria has got a red school bag. No! Maria hasn’t got a red school bag. She’s got a black school bag. • In a stronger class, invite students to describe people in the class using affirmative and negative sentences and invite other students to guess who is being described, e.g. She hasn’t got long hair. She’s got a red school bag. It’s Maria! Extension idea for exercise 3 • Ask students to look at the chart and talk about Sue and Tom, then talk about themselves in the same way. Before reading questions for exercise 6 • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish (if necessary): Where is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky)? What is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky) doing in picture (1)? Picture 1: Clanker is walking near the park. He looks sad. Picture 2: Clanker sees something hiding in the bushes. Picture 3: Clanker is talking to Ben on the phone. They both look happy. Picture 4: Ben and Nicky are at home. They’re watching the news. The newsreader is talking about a missing crocodile. Ben and Nicky look surprised. Picture 5: Clanker is talking to Ben and Ben is jumping. up from the sofa. Picture 6: Ben and Nicky are in the park with two zookeepers. They’re trying to catch the crocodile.

SB pp70–71 Teaching tip – Skills Steps Reading skills tip Encourage students think about different text formats. Ask them what sort of things they read every week (books, comics, packets, timetables, etc.). Brainstorm the type of information they would expect to find in each type of text. Predicting the type of information will give students more confidence in answering questions about any text they read. Writing skills tip Remind students of the kinds of mistakes they should check for when reading through their own work or a partner’s. This can be done by brainstorming the type of mistakes (grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc.) with the class as a whole. If your student require more writing practice, you can find extra vocabulary worksheets to help develop writing skills on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Class discussion Ask students to tell you about their favourite animal stars in films or on TV.

Rin Tin Tin was a famous German Shepherd Dog. He was rescued from a World War I battlefield by an American soldier called Lee Duncan. Lee trained Rin Tin Tin to do lots of clever tricks, and soon he got some work in silent films. Rin Tin Tin was a huge success and he starred in 27 Hollywood films in the 1920s. In 1929, he got the most votes for the first Academy Award for Best Actor, but the Academy decided that a human should win the award.

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular breed of dog to have as a pet in the USA, Canada and the UK. However, lots of people believe that it’s better to get a dog from a rescue centre than to buy a puppy, because there are lots of dogs that need good homes. There are lots of rescue centres for dogs and cats in the UK. They help to find new homes for pets whose owners can’t keep them any more.

SB p73 Teaching tip – Revision Make your revision lesson engaging for students by playing games to revise the grammar and vocabulary from the unit. There are plenty of ideas for optional activities on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Another way to practise the vocabulary taught so far is to play a game of Alphabet Words. Say a word beginning with the letter a. Ask a student to then say a word beginning with the letter b. Continue in this way around the class. If a student can’t think of a word beginning with their letter, you can invite the rest of the class to help. You can ask for any word or words within a lexical group, e.g. pets. Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – The magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website.

Teaching tip – Steps to Success In the upper primary exam, one of the listening comprehension questions involves students listening to dialogues and deciding whether the statements in the exercise are true or false. Students need to read each statement and listen to each dialogue carefully to decide who is speaking, who they’re speaking to, and what they’re talking about. Before starting the first activity, tell students to copy the statements into their notebooks and underline the key words: Dziewczynka mówi o swoim zwierzątku. Mama nie wie, gdzie jest piórnik syna. Chłopiec mówi o prezencie. Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the words, one at a time, and ask students to make a sentence with each word. Ask students what other words for pets or possessions they can think of. To complete the first activity: • Read out the Tip box and check that students understand it. Tell students to read the instructions carefully. Play the first dialogue and ask students to say whether the sentence is true or false. Tell them to write the correct word (True) in their notebooks. • Play the recording twice for students to complete the remaining two items on their own and check their answers. • Check answers as a class, by reading out the statements and eliciting the correct answers from students around the class. Another listening exercise in the exam is matching dialogues to pictures of places. Students listen to three dialogues and look at four pictures. They need to decide which picture matches each dialogue. There’s one picture which students do not need to use. There may be similarities between some of the pictures, so students need to listen carefully to make sure they choose the correct pictures. Before starting the second activity, focus students’ attention on the pictures and ask them to say what place each picture shows (tennis court, school corridor, park, garden) and what items they can see in each picture. Tell them that taking a minute to think about the types of words they expect to hear will help them to choose the correct picture to match each dialogue. To complete the second activity: • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Play the first dialogue and ask students to say which picture they think it’s about. Tell them to write the correct letter (b) in their notebooks. • Play the recording twice for students to complete the rest of the exercise on their own and check their answers. • Check answers as a class.

The Listening part of the primary school leaving exam counts for approximately 35% of the total exam points. the recordings in the Listening section of the exam lasts approximately 17 minutes and feature English native speakers. During the exam, the recordings are played twice together with the instructions in Polish.

Teaching tips – Words, words, words Vocabulary review Bring a ball to class. Students stand in a circle. The student holding the ball must say an adjective and a noun in English and Polish. If they do this correctly, they may pass the ball to another student and then that student repeats the same process. In a stronger class, tell students that the ball is a hot potato to encourage them to think quickly. For stronger students Remember to hand out the photocopiable Vocabulary extra activities available on the Teacher’s Resource DVDROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Tip Practise using adjectives with your class to help them to become familiar and confident with a variety of adjectives. Optional activity Tell students to take turns to say a word. Their partner says the opposite word, e.g. A old B young, tall A short

Teaching tip – Language Steps Play a game of Bingo to practise the Everyday English phrases taught so far. Tell students to look through their books and write six phrases in English in a simple grid in their notebooks. Call out Everyday English phrases in Polish in random order. If the students have the matching phrase in their notebooks, they can cross it out. The first student to cross out all their phrases is the winner. Class discussion Ask students to tell you about birthday traditions in Poland.

Teaching tip – Learning Steps This section helps to prepare students for the Grammar and Vocabulary in Use section of the upper primary exam. Students practise matching words to gaps. To complete the text with confidence, they will need to identify nouns, adjectives and other parts of speech. Help to prepare your students for this type of question by writing a selection of 6–8 known words (e.g. bike, climb, clean, sister, fast, walk) on the board and asking students to say which words are nouns, adjectives or verbs.

Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 1 Grammar cards Divide the class into two teams. Hand one team the grammar cards to form questions. Hand the other team the grammar cards to form answers. (You will have to copy have / has and got cards.) The first team holds up the grammar cards to form a question (in the correct order). The second team holds up the answer. The first team gets two points for each correctly formed question. The second team gets one point for the correct answer. Swap teams and repeat the game to see which team gets the most points. Tip Recognizing people from physical descriptions will help students in the Listening and Reading sections of the upper primary exam. You can help to prepare your them for this by playing games such as That’s wrong!, Guess who!, What is it? or Picture it! from the games and optional activities on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teacher’s Club website.

Teaching tip – Functional Steps Encourage students to have fun with the model dialogue when they practise it in pairs and to copy the intonation of the speakers on the audio. Tell them that they can change details in the dialogues to make them about their own families. You can also ask students to choose a setting for their dialogue (in a café, at home, at school, on the street, etc.) and act as if they’re in that place as they perform their dialogue for the class. Tip Students will often hear or read details about people’s families in the Listening and Reading sections of the upper primary exam. You can help to prepare your students for this by asking one student to talk about their family to the class, then asking other students around the class questions (e.g. How many brothers has Maria got? How old is Maria’s sister? etc.).

Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 2 Grammar cards For extra practice of possessive adjectives, write a sentence on the board (e.g. I’ve got a dog.) with a picture of a dog. Invite a student up to the board. Hand the student the grammar cards for ‘This is my dog’. Tell the student to put the grammar cards on the board in the correct order. Then ask Whose dog is it? to elicit Your dog. Repeat with other sentences using have got, possessive adjectives, and pictures of pets and possessions. Optional activity • In a weaker class, ask questions about students’ items in the classroom and invite individual students to answer them using possessive adjectives, e.g. A Is this your book? B No, it isn’t. It’s his book. Grammar cards For extra practice of This / That / These / Those, put students into four teams. Ask one student from each team to come to the front of the class. Hand them a grammar card for This, That, These, or Those face down. Tell the students not to look at the cards, but to hold them up above their heads. Hold up or point to an object / objects (e.g. hold up two pens). Students from the rest of the class call out the name of the student holding the correct card. The student holding the card makes a sentence using the correct word (These are pens.). If they are correct they win a point for their team. Ask students to swap with other members of their team and shuffle the cards so each team has different words. Repeat the game with other objects. Before reading questions for exercise 8 • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish (if necessary): Where is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky)? What is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky) doing in picture (1)? Picture 1: Clanker and Ben’s mum are in the house. Ben’s mum is giving Clanker a parcel. Picture 2: Clanker is at the bus stop with the parcel. He’s looking at four men who are standing at the bus stop. Picture 3: Clanker is talking to a man at the bus stop. The man looks very angry. Picture 4: Clanker is talking to another man at the bus stop. The man looks very angry. Picture 5: Clanker is talking to a third man at the bus stop. The man looks very angry. Picture 6: Clanker is talking to a fourth man at the bus stop. Clanker is giving the man the parcel. Picture 7: Clanker is walking away from the bus stop. He looks very happy, but the three men at the bus stop look angry. • In a stronger class, ask students to tell you why they think the three men are angry. (Because Clanker says rude things to them.) Class discussion Ask students to tell you about manners and greetings in Poland

SB pp82–83 Teaching tips – Skills Steps Reading skills tip Students understand reading texts better when they can relate the information in the text to their own lives. Encourage your students to make connections between the text and themselves by asking questions so they can relate what they have read to their own life (e.g. Adam can play chess. Can you play chess? What games can you play well?). Writing skills tip If your students struggle with writing tasks, model a piece of writing for the class. Show them your writing process by talking it through (e.g. Today I want to write about someone in my family. I want to write about my brother. I need to make some notes to sort out my ideas, then I can put my ideas into sentences.). Complete your notes in a table like the one in the Student’s Book on one side of the board, then encourage students to help you make sentences from the notes. Write your sentences on the other side of the board. Extension idea for exercise 6 • In a weaker class, ask students questions about Beth. Encourage students to use their answers to complete the table, e.g. A What’s the girl’s name? B Beth. A Is Beth tall? B No, she isn’t. She’s small. • In a stronger class, ask students to ask and answer questions in pairs. Extension idea for exercise 7 If you have time after completing exercise 7, you can write more pairs of sentences on the board for students to connect using and or but, e.g. My brother is good at tennis. He’s good at football. (and) Tom can swim. He can’t ride a horse. (but) Kate likes dogs. She likes cats. (and) My cousin has got brown hair. She hasn’t got brown eyes. (but) If your students require more writing practice, you can find extra worksheets to help develop writing skills on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Extension idea for exercise 9 If you have fast finishers, ask them to write about their best friend. Class discussion Ask students to tell you what they would like to be really good at.

Teaching tips – Revision Play a game of categories. Write the following headings on the board: Classroom items / Rooms / Pets / Adjectives / Actions / Family members. Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Say one of the categories to a student from Team A. The student comes to the board and writes a word under the correct heading (the rest of the team can help to suggest a word, if necessary). Repeat with all students from each team in turn, awarding one point for each correctly placed word. Alternatively, you can say words and ask students to write them under the correct heading. If you have willing volunteers, you can invite a student to be the ‘teacher’ to check answers to the revision exercises. Invite the student to come to the front of the class and ask questions to check the other students’ answers. If you have several volunteers, you can allow students to take turns (each checking the answers for one exercise). Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – The magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website.

Teaching tip – Culture Steps When students have finished reading the text, say sentences about the children in the text, e.g. She lives in a flat. / She’s got a brother. / He watches sports on TV, and ask students to say the correct name for the person you’re describing. Play Who am I? Invite a student to choose one of the children and pretend to be that child. The rest of the class ask questions to try and guess who the student is pretending to be, e.g. Have you got a brother? Are you from Hong Kong? The first student to guess correctly can take a turn to pretend to be one of the children in the text. Teaching tip – Project Photocopiable preparation worksheets for all projects are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. DID YOU KNOW?

A popular musical instrument at the Notting Hill Carnival is the steel pan, or steel drum. Steel pans are traditionally made from metal oil drums and are played with wooden sticks with rubber tips. The traditional Chinese New Year celebration lasts for 15 days. It’s the longest and most important Chinese festival. At Chinese New Year, it’s traditional for people to clean their houses. People believe that this sweeps away all the bad luck and helps to bring good luck in the new year.

Teaching tip – Steps to Success In the upper primary exam, one of the reading comprehension questions involves matching texts to topics. Students need to read three short texts and decide which of four topic options each text is about. There’s one option which they do not need to use. There may be similarities between the topics, so students will need to read carefully to make sure they choose the correct option for each text. Before starting the first activity, focus students’ attention on the topic options and ask them to think about what kind of words they might expect to read in a text on this topic. Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the words and phrases, one at a time, and ask students to make a sentence with each word / phrase. Ask students what other words and phrases for physical descriptions or personality adjectives they can think of. To complete the first activity: • Read out the Tip box and check that students understand it. • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Read out the first text and ask students to say what they think it’s about (a pet). Tell them to write the correct letter (b) in their notebooks. • Allow students time to read the two remaining texts and complete the exercise on their own. • Check answers as a class, by reading out the texts and eliciting the correct answers from students around the class. In the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary part of the upper primary exam, students match words to gaps. The Student’s Book activities provide plenty of practice of completing gapped sentences and texts, but if you want to give your students extra practice, you can write a gapped extract from one of the texts on the board with a set of words for students to choose from. Before starting the second activity, focus students’ attention on the words in the box and ask them to say whether each word is a noun or an adjective, and whether each noun is singular or plural. Tell students that taking a minute to think about the types of words they can choose from will help them to find the right words to complete the text. To complete the second activity: • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • If you think students still need guidance on this type of exercise, read out the text up to the first gap and ask students to say which of the options is the correct answer. Tell them to write the correct letter (d) in their notebooks. If you think students now know what to do allow them to complete the exercise without this stage. • Check answers as a class, by inviting students to read out completed sentences from the text.

Hair grows between 0.3 and 0.5 millimetres each day. It grows faster in warm weather. The approximate number of hairs on a person’s head varies between 120,000 to 150,000, and every day we lose 50 to 100 hairs. A single hair has a lifespan of about 5 years.

Objectives To revise: Vocabulary: animals, parts of animals, adjectives Grammar: have got (all forms), possessive adjectives Vocabulary revision • Select / Print the flashcards for Units 5–6. Divide them into two piles. • Divide the class into two teams, A and B. Give each team one of the piles of flashcards. Ask Team A to pick up two cards and show them to Team B. Team B have to make a sentence using have got and the words on the flashcard. If they make a correct sentence they get a mark. They then hold up two cards for Team A. The teams continue in the same way. Make sure that when you stop the game each team has had the same number of goes. Extension idea for exercise 8 If you have fast finishers, ask students to make a table about their partner like the one in exercise 8, then ask and answer questions to complete their tables. Extension idea for exercise 10 Ask students to write five more true or false statements about the text, then read their statements to a partner. Their partner answers True or False.

Teaching tip – Language Steps When students have acted out the story, you can play a game of What’s next? Say a line from the story and ask students to say the next line (they can do this without looking at their books if they are confident enough). If you like, you can play this game in two teams, saying lines to each team in turn and awarding one point for each correct line. If you have time, you can record students saying the pronunciation rhyme or tongue twister from each unit, then play the recordings back to them to help them with their pronunciation skills. Encourage students to copy the pronunciation on the Class audio CD as closely as possible. Class discussion Ask students to tell you about the transport they use. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type?

Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 1 Grammar cards Stick grammar cards on the board to form a sentence, but cover the verb with a piece of paper (or omit it) so that students can’t see it. Invite a student to say or write the missing word. If the student says the correct verb, uncover, or place, the word on the board. Repeat with other sentences and other students. Pronunciation tip Tell students to listen to the verbs and repeat them using the correct pronunciation of the endings. Write other verbs they know on the board and elicit the correct pronunciation from students around the class, e.g. /z/ rides runs swims /s/ jumps skips roller skates /iz/ dances touches teaches Optional activity Write the following phrases on the board: get up, go to school, have lunch, do homework, watch TV, go to bed. Invite a student to come to the board and write times next to each of the phrases to show what time he / she does each activity. Ask students to make sentences about the daily routine on the board (e.g. Kuba gets up at seven o’clock.).

Teaching tip – Functional Steps Encourage students to personalize the model dialogue when they practise it in pairs. They can use the names of places in their town and change the prices. Ask them to think about other things you might buy a ticket for, e.g. a train journey, the cinema, a concert, etc., and tell them that they can make the dialogue about one of these situations if they like. Tip Students will need to be able to choose the correct responses to everyday questions and expressions in the knowledge of language means items in the upper primary exam. You can help to prepare your students for this section of the exam by playing a game. Write the following responses on the board: I’m fine, thanks. It’s in Park Road. It’s in June. It’s £2.50. I’m ten. Here you are. In London. That’s £5, please. Martin. Then ask the following questions to students around the class: What’s your name? How are you? How much is that? Two tickets to the library, please. Where’s the museum? How old are you? When’s your birthday? Where do you live? Students choose the correct response from the board. You can play this as a game in two teams, asking each team in turn to give you the correct response.

Bus driver Yes, please? Girl A child’s ticket to the city centre, please. Bus driver OK. That’s £1.50. Girl Here you are. Bus driver And here’s 50p change. Girl Thank you. The girl gives the driver two pounds (£2).

Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 2 Grammar cards Select the grammar cards to make a sentence using an adverb of frequency. Keep the card for the adverb back. Stick the remaining grammar cards on the board with spaces between each card (e.g. I ___ play ____ football.). Ask a student to stick the adverb of frequency in the correct place. Repeat with other sentences and other students. Extension idea for exercise 6 Ask students to swap books with their partners and say sentences about their partners (e.g. Maria always watches TV in the evening.). Before reading questions for exercise 7 • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish (if necessary): Where is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky)? What is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky) doing in picture (1)? Picture 1: Nicky is at the bus stop. Ben and Clanker are arriving late. The bus is leaving. Picture 2: Clanker is talking about getting up in the morning. Picture 3: Ben is talking about waking Clanker up in the morning. Picture 4: Clanker and Ben are talking about Clanker watching TV. Picture 5: Clanker has got wheels. Nicky looks very surprised. Picture 6: Clanker is taking Ben and Nicky for a ride. They are catching up with the bus. • In a stronger class, ask students to tell you why Nicky is annoyed at the start of the story (because Ben and Clanker are late and they have missed the bus), and where they think Clanker is taking the children at the end of the story (he is taking them to school). Class discussion Ask students to tell you how they wake up in the morning and how they feel when they wake up.

Teaching tips – Skills Steps Reading skills tip Questions help students to clarify and understand the information they read in a text. Ask your students questions after reading each text to check their understanding. • In a stronger class, you can ask students to write three questions about the text, then ask and answer with a partner. Writing skills tip To help students come up with ideas for their writing, you can brainstorm them as a class. Encourage students to suggest ideas. Ask What do you do in the morning / afternoon / evening? and write all of their suggestions on the board. Leave the suggestions on the board while students are completing the writing task. If your students require more writing practice, you can find extra worksheets to help develop writing skills on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Optional activity Give a stronger student the name of someone in the class plus an adverb of frequency and a time, e.g. Ella, eight o’clock. The student then makes a sentence about what Ella does at eight o’clock, e.g. Ella always has breakfast at eight o’clock. Then ask the student (Ella) if the sentence was correct. The student who made the sentence then gives another student a name and a time. Keep a note of how many sentences were correct so you can give some feedback on how well they know each other. • In a stronger class, this activity can be carried out in small groups. Optional activity As an extension idea for the Extra Steps activity, draw clocks with more times on the board and ask students where they are at these times on different days of the week. Class discussion Ask students to tell you what they know about soap operas in Poland. Do they watch them? Why? / Why not?

For grammar summary:

DID YOU KNOW?

MĆ W. pełna p69

Soap operas got their name because early radio drama serials were sponsored by soap manufacturers. The longest running soap in the UK, Coronation Street, started over 50 years ago. It was originally written as a short six-week series, but it was so popular the producers kept making it.

Teaching tip – Culture Steps When students have finished reading the text, ask them to each write one question about it. Students can then ask and answer their questions in rolling pairs around the classroom, so the first student asks a question to the student on their right, who then answers that question. He / She then asks their own question to the student on their right, and so on. Project Students do a class survey about pocket money. Photocopiable preparation worksheets for all projects are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and Oxford Teachers’ Club website. DID YOU KNOW?

‘Piggy bank’ is the traditional name given to a coin container or money box. The name comes from pygg. This is an old English word for earthenware, the material used for making pots and containers. Over time, the word became confused with pig, the farm animal. A piggy bank can be any shape, but the traditional shape is that of a pig. Piggy banks have a slot in the top for posting money through, and they have a stopper at the bottom which you can remove to get the money out. Some banks use pictures of piggy banks to advertise their savings accounts, because piggy banks make people think of saving money instead of spending it.

SB p99 Teaching tip – Revision Encourage students to tell a chain story about someone’s daily routine. Start with the sentence get up at seven o’clock, and invite a student to add a sentence using another activity, e.g. Ms Milek gets up at seven o’clock. I have my breakfast at seven thirty. Continue this around the class. If you do the revision exercises in class and have fast finishers, ask them to write about Super Sam’s day, using Then or After that. Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – the magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and the Oxford Teachers’ Club website. Encourage students to read it for pleasure.

SB p100 Teaching tip – Steps to Success In the listening comprehension part of the upper primary exam, students do a multiple choice question with pictures. Students listen to short dialogues and choose the correct picture from three options to answer a question about each dialogue. Tell students that they need to look at the pictures very carefully in this exercise, as some of the pictures may be similar. Before starting the exam practice activity, focus students’ attention on each of the pictures and ask: Who / What’s this? What is he doing? What time is it? Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the words and phrases, one at a time. Ask students to make sentences with each of the words / phrases for routines and time expressions. Ask students around the class to do the actions for each of the classroom instructions. To complete the activity: • Read out the Tip box and check that students understand. • Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Play the first dialogue and ask students to say which picture they think it’s about. Tell them to write the correct letter (c) in their notebooks. • Play the rest of the recording for students to complete the rest of the exercise on their own. • Check answers as a class, by asking students to say which picture answers question 1, etc.

Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 1 Grammar cards Stick grammar cards on the board to form a positive sentence (or write the positive sentence on the board). Hand students the grammar cards (including don’t or doesn’t) so students can form a similar negative sentence. Ask students to stick the grammar cards on the board in the correct order. Extension idea for exercise 3 • In a weaker class, say false sentences about the boys’ routine and invite individual students to correct them, e.g. They get up late on weekdays. No! They don’t get up late on weekdays. They get up early on weekdays. • In a stronger class, invite students to say and correct sentences in pairs. Extension idea for exercise 6 Ask students to make more funny sentences about things animals don’t do. Optional activity Make two columns on the board. Write f at the top of the first column and g at the top of the second column. Write two phrases in each column, e.g. like cats, play tennis / eat fish, like snakes. Tell students about yourself, e.g. I like cats. I don’t like snakes. Invite students to come to the board and write phrases about themselves in the correct columns. Then ask students to make sentences using any of the phrases on the board, e.g. You like cats. Maria doesn’t watch cartoons, etc.

Teaching tip – Functional Steps Encourage students to personalize the model dialogue when they practise it in pairs by changing the names and the hobbies mentioned to their own hobbies. In a stronger class, you can ask students to extend the dialogue by asking more questions, e.g. Do you like …?, How often do you …? Where / When do you …? Tip In one of the knowledge of language functions questions in the upper primary exam, students will need to match situations to reactions. Tell them to look carefully at the sentences given and match grammar structures to help them choose the correct answers. You can help students practise for this section of the exam by writing some short answers on the board (e.g. Yes, I am. / Yes, I have. / Yes, I do. / Yes, there are. / Yes, he is. / Yes, I can.) and asking students to think of possible questions for each answer.

SB pp106–107 Teaching tips – Grammar Steps 2 Grammar cards Invite two pairs of students to the front of the class. Hand one pair of students grammar cards to form a question and hand the other pair of students grammar cards to form the short answer. Make sure there is an extra card in each set which students do not need to use. Ask the students to stick their grammar cards on the board in the correct order, then hold up the extra card. Extension idea for exercise 2 • In a weaker class, ask students questions based on the table, e.g. Do you play badminton? • In a stronger class, ask students to ask and answer questions in pairs. Optional activity Ask students to work in pairs to write a list of questions about hobbies. Then invite pairs of students to act out interviews. Before reading questions for exercise 7 • In a weaker class, prepare to read and listen by looking at the story frames and discussing what is happening. Ask students in Polish (if necessary): Where is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky)? What is (Ben / Clanker / Nicky) doing in picture (1)? Picture 1: Ben and Nicky are in the house. Clanker is listening to them. Picture 2: Ben and Clanker are talking. Clanker looks happy. Picture 3: Nicky and Clanker are at the school disco. A DJ is playing music. Picture 4: Clanker is dancing. The children think he’s terrible. Picture 5: Clanker knocks over a speaker. The children are angry. Picture 6: Clanker is playing music and dancing. The children look surprised. Picture 7: Everyone is dancing to Clanker’s music. They all look very happy. • In a stronger class, ask students to tell you why they think the children are angry with Clanker in Picture 5 (because he knocks over a speaker and stops the music), whether they think the children like Clanker’s music and why they think the children are happy at the end of the story (because they like Clanker’s robot dance). Class discussion Ask students to tell you if they like dancing and what musical instruments they play.

Teaching tip – Culture Steps When students have finished reading the text, write the following questions on the board: Where is your favourite holiday place? What can you do there? Ask students to pretend to be one of the children from the text. Ask a student the questions and encourage them to answer as their chosen child. The rest of the class guesses who the student is pretending to be. Then tell students to think about their own favourite holiday places. Ask the questions again, and encourage students to answer about themselves. Teaching tip – Project Students make a travel brochure about holiday destinations in their country. Photocopiable preparation worksheets for all projects are provided on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and Oxford Teachers’ Club website. DID YOU KNOW?

Teaching tip – Revision Mime doing one of the hobbies from the unit. Ask students to guess what you are doing. The first student to guess the hobby correctly can mime a hobby for the rest of the class to guess. If you like, you can play this game in two teams, with students from each team taking turns to mime a hobby for the other team to guess. Award one point for each correct guess. Teaching tip – Extensive reading If your students enjoy reading and you want to give them more practice, you can find a cartoon story – the magic pen – on the Teacher’s Resource DVD-ROM and Oxford Teacher’s Club website. Encourage students to read it for pleasure.

Answer key

SB p112 Teaching tip – Steps to Success In one of the reading comprehension questions of the upper primary exam, students will need to read five short texts, then match them to four short conversations. There is one text which they don’t need to use. Tell students that some of the texts in this exercise may be about similar topics, e.g. swimming lessons / a swimming race, so they will need to read the conversations and the texts very carefully to make sure they choose the correct answers. Before starting the exam practice activity, focus students’ attention on each of the texts and ask students to say what kind of text each one is (an advertisement, an email, a notice, an advertisement, a note). Ask students to say how they can tell what kind of text type each text is and what information they can find in each text (activities, times, names, phone numbers, places, etc.). Point out to students that sometime when people ask for information, they begin their question with Do you know ... ? When a question begins like this, the word order is different from a simple question, e,g, Where is Tom? becomes Do you know where Tom is? In a stronger class, help students to form simple questions from the Do you know ... ? questions. Write three questions on the board, eg. Do you now which sports children can do at the camp? Do you now what time chess club is? Do you now what the telephone number for the leisure centre is? Then invite students to say simple questions without Do you know. Ask students to write the simple questions on the board (Which sports can children do at the camp? What time is chess club? What is the telephone number for the leisure centre?). To complete the activity: • Focus attention on the wordlist box. Read out the words and phrases, one at a time. Ask students to make sentences with each of the words / phrases for routines and time expressions. Ask students around the class to do the actions for each of the classroom instructions. • Read out the Tip and check that students understand. Tell students to read the instructions carefully. • Allow students time to read the texts and the conversations through once and make a note of the key words in the questions 1–4. • Then read out the first conversation and ask students to find the matching text. Students write the corresponding letter for the correct text (c) in their notebooks. • Allow time for students to complete the rest of the exercise on their own. • Check answers as a class, by reading out the conversations and eliciting the correct answers from students around the class. Ask students to read out the information in the texts which gave them the correct answer. • As an extension, you can ask students to think of a conversation to match the extra text (E), e.g. Do you know where I can learn to swim? Yes, I do. If you have fast finishers, ask them to write an email to a friend checking plans for an activity, using the email in exercise 1 (b) as a model.

In traditional pictures of Father Christmas, his robes were often shown to be green and white. In the 1930s, Coca Cola produced a set of Christmas adverts showing him in his now-familiar red and white – also the colours of Coca Cola. Although this was not the first time Father Christmas had been depicted like this, it helped to fix those colours in popular pictures of him.
