LANGUAGE NOTE A prefix is placed at the beginning of a word to change its meaning. In this exercise, students are presented with a variety of prefixes that mean ‘not’ or ‘the opposite of’. The most common prefixes are un- and dis-. Highlight that the prefixes il-, ir- and im- are used depending on the first letter of the base word. This sometimes results in a double letter: il- before words starting with l , e.g. legible / illegible ir- before words starting with r , e.g. relevant / irrelevant im- before words starting with m but also in front of words starting with p , e.g. mature / immature, polite / impolite 4 Students complete the exercise.

In Listening exam tasks, students should listen out for the speaker’s intonation as well as word choice to give them clues about the speaker’s feelings and relationship toward the subject he/she is discussing. • Remind students that listening for intonation means listening for tone, pitch, volume and speed, as well as the words. The sound of a speaker’s voice can tell them a lot about the speaker’s attitude. – higher pitch and rising intonation: surprise – falling intonation and a depressed tone: disappointment – falling intonation, irritated tone, loud voice: annoyed / angry – fast with an enthusiastic tone; pitch goes up at the end of the sentence: impatient for something good to start. OPTIONAL EXTENSION Write the board: It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it! Ask students if they agree. Elicit how we can change or affect the meaning of a sentence by the way we say things. Now write bananas on the board and elicit different attitudes that affect our tone, e.g. enthusiastic, amazed, bored, angry, surprised, frustrated, relaxed. Students say bananas in pairs and try to guess each other’s attitude.
