a) Predicting text content; matching headings to text
• Read through headings A-E as a class and
explain/elicit the meaning of any unknown
words.
• Elicit from Ss what they expect to read in
the paragraphs with these headings.
• Explain the matching task, stressing that
there is one heading that they do not need
to use.
• Ss answer individually.
• Check answers around the class.
Answer Key
1 A 2 E 3 B 4 D
b) Eliciting meaning from text; expanding vocabulary
• Play the recording of the text to Ss as they
read it through again.
• Draw Ss' attention to the words in bold.
Encourage Ss to use the context to
understand the meaning of the words,
before they check in their dictionaries.
