Homework Workbook Unit 2: Listening, page 16 GRAMMAR 2 Countable and uncountable nouns Student’s Book, page 25 Lesson aims • Understand the correct usage of countable and uncountable nouns • Practise using the correct verbs and quantifiers with countable and uncountable nouns LEAD-IN Ask students, in groups, to write the unit theme Travel and transport in the centre of a blank page. Encourage them to make a ‘vocabulary network’ with related ideas branching out in all directions categorised into sub-themes, e.g. types of transport, adjectives related to holidays, words connected to holidays , etc, then divided into further sub-themes, e.g. places to stay, things to take, things to do on holiday, people , etc. Students can look back over the unit for ideas and add drawings and lots of colour. Set a five-minute time limit and walk round, helping students if necessary. In a less-confident class, ask students for their ideas and make a collective mind map on the board. Grammar in context
OPTIMISE your exam 3-option multiple choice | Dialogues Students read the tips.
• In this 3-option multiple-choice exam task, students are asked to listen for gist and identify attitudes and opinions. Highlight that the six extracts are unrelated. In each extract, students will hear a male and a female speaker. This helps them clearly distinguish who says what in each dialogue. • Encourage students to read the context sentences for helpful clues (the relationship between the speakers, what they are talking about, their reason for talking to each other, etc.). It is important for students to have a very clear idea of which people the answers refer to and listen carefully for their attitude or opinion. It may be different from the other speaker’s. • Highlight that sometimes the speaker uses exactly the same words as appear in the question. Point out that these words can be used as distractors. 2.06 p00 Play the audio for students to listen and complete the exercise.
