Grammar practice and comprehension
The second Language Box in each unit provides simple examples
or explanations of additional target grammar.
Students then match questions that focus on the target grammar
with photos. After matching the questions with photos, students
ask and answer together.
Conversation practice
A second activity provides question prompts for students to use in
pairs or small groups. Students should ask the questions to their
classmates and use appropriate follow-up questions to have short
conversations related to the unit’s theme and target vocabulary.
Class survey
This activity gives students a chance to interview their classmates
using questions based on the unit’s theme. Students ask a number
of their classmates for answers to the questions given. By asking
the same questions to a number of classmates, students develop
fluency while engaged in a communicative speaking exercise.
Students can present their most interesting findings to the class for
additional practice.
Problems and advice
A second activity requires student to consider a problem and
suggest a solution. Questions and answer prompts support
students in developing extended responses to the task.
Have students present their advice to a classmate with their books
closed for additional practice.
Introduction to test question types
Let the students know that they will see similar types of
questions on many common tests of English. This section of
each unit provides a great opportunity to familiarize students
with the kinds of questions they will encounter on future tests.
General review
This section recycles some of the key vocabulary and target
structures from earlier units. For additional practice, students
can be encouraged to talk about themselves or the world
around them using the language patterns they have studied in
the unit.
