Writing activities
In this activity, students work in groups
of three. They are asked to read the two
appraisals of a book carefully and then to
compare their organization, and the way
they present points. Clearly, the purpose
of the activity is to give students guidance
in writing an appraisal of a book or film.
Unit 5
Reading activities
In this unit, students are asked to read
an article entitled ‘Travellers’ Tales’ quickly
to find the answers to the two given questions.
The aim, therefore, seems to be to
develop students’ reading abilities.
Listening activities
In this activity, students hear a man
talking about his experiences of driving a
lorry for the first time. After hearing half
of the story, students are given 8 words
and then they are asked to imagine what
happened to the driver during the rest of
the day. The aim of the activity may be not
only to develop students’ listening abilities
but also to practise prediction and anticipation.
