Page five of each unit presents speaking tasks related to giving
advice and describing visual information. Both of the activities
in this part of the unit are best practiced in pairs.
For teachers who desire to provide extension activities related
to the speaking tasks on this page, the following possibilities
are suggested:
Part (A)
:
Have the students present their advice by giving
more than just single-sentence answers. Encourage students
to say at least two or three sentences when they answer.
Part (B)
:
Have the class conduct their own survey of their
classmates. The information can be tabulated in a chart similar
to the example shown in each unit. The topic of the survey
can be the same as the topic shown in the unit or a topic
related in some way to the unit’s theme.

Page six of each unit provides consolidation activities in the
form of a speaking quiz. The quizzes are made up of three
tasks that cover a variety of activities. Among the tasks that
may appear on a quiz are the following activity types: picture
description with question prompts, a series of four related
interview questions, a description of a situation that requires a
suggestion for advice, picture-based storytelling, or a chart
description activity.
Study of the transcripts and/or sample responses related to all
quiz tasks provides natural extension activities for the Quiz
Drive pages of each unit.
Workbooks, Reviews, andWrap-Up Quiz
The workbook supplement that accompanies each student
book includes four activities for each unit. The workbook units
recycle the target vocabulary items of the student book units in easy-to-follow activities that
students can complete at home. Along with the twelve thematic units in each student book,
Drive Series provides four Reviews to reinforce vocabulary acquisition through additional
speaking practice. Each student book also concludes with a Wrap-Up Quiz that can be used to
help students recognize how much improvement they have achieved in the target skill of
speaking.
