Methodology notes Listening tasks The Trinity Trinity Grades 1 and 2 exams have no formal formal listening listening test with recordings recordings and writte written n response responses. s. It is important that you point out to learners that they don’t need to worry too much about the listening tasks for this reason. However, success in the interview does depend on listening carefully to the examiner and responding appropriately. appropriately. Take Take account of the low level of your learners learners and: – if there is a picture to illustrate illustrate the topic, elicit information which which will help them prepare for what what they will listen to – tell students what kind of conversation conversation they will will hear, e.g. two children speaking or an examiner speaking to a candidate – play each each audio several several times times if necessary, necessary, stopping the the audio during during the task if needed needed – follow up the listening listening with a drill in order order to practise the structures and pronunciation.

Brainstorming vocabulary and ideas Brainstorming is a good way to introduce an activity, and is suggested in this TB because: – it helps to to get learners learners focussed focussed on the the topic of the the lesson – it helps learners ‘revive’ vocabulary that they know, but haven’t used recently – it gives gives you a chance to see what what your learners learners know and what what knowledge knowledge gaps gaps exist. Remember that this book is mainly for revisions of language so: – begin each new topic with closed books and try to elicit related vocabulary from learners – give them them a specified specified time limit limit to work work in pairs or or groups groups – students tell you their words words and you put them on the the board in columns columns or mind maps or under specific headings/categories – then students students open books books and do the first vocabul vocabulary ary activity as consolid consolidation ation..

Use of the board Board prompts are good at this level to suppor t students during speaking tasks and can lessen the ‘memory ‘memory load’ required of students so that they can concentrate on communicating. Prompts can be useful vocabulary items for the task, or reminders of the structures that learners should be using or pronunciation work. As the students master the language the teacher can rub off some of the prompts so that students commit the language to memory. See the shaded boxes for examples of board work.

Games Games provide some light relief and fun, but also a genuine context in which to practise language. The The Teacher’s Teacher’s Book makes a number of suggestions for games in the units: – guessing guessing games, games, such as I-spy, I-spy, pictionary pictionary,, miming – memory games, such as Kim’s game (covering (covering a picture and remembering what’s there) – team games, games, such as sorting sorting races (pairs (pairs or teams sort vocabula vocabulary ry items into groups groups as quickly quickly as possible) – knock-out knock-out games, games, such as ‘Simon ‘Simon Says’ Says’.

Methodology notes Modelling It is always a good idea to model each task so that everyone understands what they have to do. Choose one of the most able learners in the group to work through a few examples with you. It is recommended that you do this especially for the communication activities that come at the end of each unit.

Drills Regular language drilling helps students learn the patterns of new structures and is a valuable technique for improving pronunciation. A good drill can also liven up a class whose attention or energy is flagging half way through a long lesson. There are a variety of drills you can use: – prompt and response drills (e.g. question and answer) − you can give the prompt, or you can divide the class into two groups who respond to each other – substitution drills, using flash cards or prompts written on the board – choral drills (all class together) or individual drills (teacher points to learners to respond) – drills with clapping or chants with a strong rhythm (good for word or sentence stress).

Trinity Takeaway At the end of each unit, the Trinity Takeaway sections provide the students with useful examiner/candidate language for the exam. It’s important that you point out to learners that they mustn’t memorise the minidialogues, but use them as examples of the type of conversation they will have with the examiner. There is also a section a the end of the book with further examples of examiner/candidate language, which are recorded. After listening, you can: – ask students to read the mini-dialogues out loud to practise question/answer intonation – ask students to write similar mini-dialogues using different vocabulary from the unit.

Pronunciation Pal In the SB a superhero character presents the pronunciation activity which is connected to the grammar and vocabulary in the unit. At this level, it is useful to focus on a few sounds, to establish the basics of good pronunciation. All pronunciation exercises are recorded.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You could introduce this with a whole class activity to see how many countries learners can name in English. Ask learners simply to call out the ones they know, while you write them on the board. Then let learners do 1 a) in pairs before getting feedback and checking answers with the whole class. As you listen to the students focus on pronunciation and word stress. ANSWERS

1 one / 2 two / 3 three / 4 four / 5 five / 6 six / 7 seven / 8 eight / 9 nine / 10 ten


UNIT 1 Nice to meet you b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is a simple activity to practise the numbers – the kind of question likely to be asked in the exam. Start by choosing one or two learners to do this with you while the rest watch, then get everyone to work in pairs for a few minutes. ANSWERS


SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: These are all typical things that the examiner might say or ask. Point out to learners that they can expect to hear these in the first few moments of the interview. Give learners a few minutes to do the matching activity alone, and then ask them to compare with their partner. Finally, play the audio for them to check. Play the audio again, but pause to give learners time to respond. First with open books, then with closed books. You can do this as a whole class drill, or pick out individuals to answer. Follow up by getting pairs to interview each other: Student A plays the interview and reads out the questions from page 7; Student B responds with books closed. ANSWERS

1h/2a/3g/4e/5f/6c/7d/8b

Lesson B How old is she? 1a page 8

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Begin by asking learners some basic questions just to focus their attention. For example, ‘How many boys/girls are there?’‘Is this a boy/girl?’ Now ask learners how old they think each of the children are. Ask them to work in pairs to match the ages with the photos. Finally, play the audio so that they can check what they predicted against what they hear. ANSWERS

A 2 / B 10 / C 5 and 7 / D 9 / E 4 b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Use this as an opportunity to revise subject pronouns. You could write them on the board and elicit from learners when we use them – e.g. ‘she’ for when we’re talking about a girl or woman. Get learners to try and find the missing words working individually, then give them a chance to compare with a partner. Now play the audio again for them to check. Finally, go through the answers together. ANSWERS

1 he / 2 He / 3 you / 4 I / 5 they / 6 They / 7 you / 8 We / 9 she / 10 She / 11 it / 12 It c

b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:

ANSWERS

Remember that the aim of this is to practise the correct use of subject pronouns, so make sure that learners are aware of this. Don’t let them si mply point at photos and say ‘And this?’, for example. It’s a good idea to model the task yourself by choosing one of the stronger learners in the class to do it with you. Finish with a whole class activity: get a pair of learners to ask each other about one of the photos while the rest of the class listen. Then ask learners which photo the pair was talking about. You could also ask learners to bring in photos of friends and family and get learners to ask each other about them using the structures just practised.

UNIT 2

At school Lesson A In the classroom 1a page 10

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The aim here is to revise basic classroom vocabulary of the kind that is often used in the exam. Note that examiners may use these alternatives to the word lists in the exercise: eraser = rubber school bag = bag student = learner / pupil It is a good idea to make learners aware of these alternatives and to learn them as passive vocabulary. Learners can do this activity in pairs. Then check answers with the whole class. You could practise the items by simply pointing them out in the class room and getting learners to shout out the name of what you’re pointing to. Also, ask learners to tell you what they have in their school bag / pencil case.

time, use the audio to drill the vocabulary items – pause after each word for choral or individual repetition. Focus on correct pronunciation, and watch out in particular for misplaced word stress in multi–syllable words such as ‘calculator’ and ‘dictionary’. Follow up by asking learners to think of two more categories that could be used to organise these words. For example: Things larger/smaller than a book. Things made from wood / plastic / metal. You could also follow up with pronunciation work: ask learners to group words according to the number of syllables they have. Then ask them where the stressed syllable usually is. Point out that the stress is most often on the first syllable, for example: notebook calculator student dictionary Practise this with suitable pronunciation dri lls. In a pencil case

Student A: I-spy something beginning with... N .

Alternatively, play a simple game such as I-spy:

Student A: Right . Student B: I-spy something beginning with... ANSWERS

c

1 teacher / 2 cupboard / 3 desk / 4 book / 5 chair / 6 notebook / 7 student / 8 pencil case / 9 pencil / 10 school bag / 11 dictionary / 12 pen / 13 ruler / 14 eraser / 15 sharpener / 16 calculator

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This aims to revise usage of the indefinite article a/an and to practise a question and answer format that is very common in the exam:

b

Examiner: What’s this?


First, bring students’ attention to the Focus box on page 10. Then do some simple practice of this with a drill:

Vocabulary grouping activities like this one are good ways for learners to ‘process’ vocabulary which will in turn help them to remember words. Ask learners to do this individually and then check with a partner before playing the audio for learners to check their answers. Give learners time to ask any questions they may have about the grouping before playing the audio again. This

Candidate: It’s a/an...

Teacher: Book .

Teacher: Eraser .

Learners: A book .

Learners: An eraser .

Focus on pronunciation. You need to point out to learners that the article an becomes linked or joined to the noun that follows. An eraser for example becomes aneraser in connected speech.

9


UNIT 2 At school 1 Now use a similar drill, but introduce the whole E phrase:

D Teacher: What’s this? Teacher: What’s this? A Learners: An eraser . R Learners: A book . G At this point you don’t need to expect fuller

answers, such as ‘It’s a...’ . Also, make sure you’re pointing out single items, as the focus here is on the article a/an. Now ask learners to work in pairs and practise the same Q&A dialogue based on classroom objects. Monitor and check for errors in use of articles or pronunciation. ANSWERS


SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is simply revision of numbers 11 to 20. Students should already be familiar with these, but if not then you may want to write the numbers on the board before playing the audio. It’s a good idea to drill these numbers in one or more of the following ways: – From 11 to 20 and back from 20 to 11 – Round the class, each learner saying the next number – In teams, team A says the odd numbers, team B the even numbers. ANSWERS

1 twelve / 2 thirteen / 3 fourteen / 4 fifteen / 5 sixteen / 6 seventeen / 7 eighteen / 8 nineteen b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The aim here is to revise the rules for plural nouns. Although spelling is not important for the exam – since there is no writing component – these spelling rules reflect the pronunciation of the three categories of plural noun. Bring learners’ attention to the focus box which gives examples and rules for the three main categories of noun. Check learners understanding by writing one example of each category on the board and asking them to give you the plural. Examples could be: – fox, church, box, brush, glass – story, party (point out that there is a consonant before the y ) – cat, dog.

10

Once you have done these examples altogether, get learners to do the practice exercise alone and then to compare with a partner. When everyone is ready, play the audio so that learners can check their answers. Play it once again and ask learners to repeat what they hear. ANSWERS

1 thirteen watches / 2 fifteen classes / 3 twelve pencils / 4 sixteen boys / 5 fourteen dictionaries c

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The emphasis here is on the pronunciation of the plural affixes to nouns. You need first to model the three endings for students. Write the phonemic symbols as heading on the board and use the example words you wrote on the board earlier: /s / cats

/z / stories

/iz / foxes

Ask learners to repeat the words after you, giving special emphasis to the plural ending. Now ask learners how they would pronounce dogs. Show them that, although it has the same plural ending as cats, it is pronounced differently. Now ask learners to do the sorting exercise on their own. Encourage them to say the words to themselves in order to make them more aware of how the endings sound. Finally, play the audio to let them check their answers. Play once again and ask learners to repeat what they hear. ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The focus here is revision of the determiners this and these and the pronouns it and they . Again, the example dialogues in the speech bubbles are typical question and answer formats that occur in the interview, and learners need to be familiar with them. Ask learners to look at the example dialogues and then write this on the board: We use this / it for... We use these / they for... Elicit from learners how to complete the rules (this / it for one thing, these / they for many things). Make sure that learners can distinguish between this [short sound /i /] and these [long sounds /i /]. Some learners have difficulties both receptively and productively with these sounds. Tell learners to look at the shape of your mouth as you say the sounds. Now demonstrate the activity yourself with another learner in the class. Then ask learners to do the activity in pairs. As you monitor, make sure that learners are using a variety of singular and plural forms. Listen out for grammatical problems such as subject verb agreement, but also pronunciation problems. ANSWERS

Open answers

The aim of this task is to practise short answers of the kind that candidates are expected to use in the interview. These are answers to present simple questions with the verb be. Give learners a few minutes to look through the questions on their own and make matches before they listen to the audio. For the ‘Listen and repeat’, you could split the class into two groups – one group repeating the questions and the other group repeating the short answers. The groups then swap roles for a second ‘Listen and repeat’. ANSWERS

1b/2d/3a/4f/5c/6e

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Again, give learners a chance to work alone on this, compare with a partner and then listen and check. If you find that learners are making mistakes with these short answers, then remind them that the verb in their answer should match the verb at the beginning of the question. Do the first one together as an example if necessary. ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is a simple exam role play, where learners respond to the examiner’s 6 questions in the audio. There are a couple of ways you can approach this: 1 get the whole class to respond, like a choral drill 2 pick out individual learners to respond to the questions.

11


UNIT 2 At school 1 Either way, play the audio a couple of times to give E learners plenty of practice at responding to these D very simple but common questions.

Student: Yes, I am. / No, I’m not. I’m from...

Pause the audio after each question and choose a learner from the class to answer. Play the audio a couple of times to give everyone a chance to answer. Encourage students to use short but full answers, not just ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ (in the exam ‘yes’ and ‘no’ are acceptable though).

Examiner: Are you eleven? Student: Yes, I am. / No, I’m not. I’m... Examiner: Is this your classroom? Student: Yes, it is. Examiner: How many students are there in your class? Student: There are... 2 page 13

c

The aim here is practice of language from the lesson: numbers, classroom objects, use of the interrogative form of be and short answers.


One way to do this is have the class ask you what the objects are, or put learners in pairs. First Student A guesses, then they swap and Student B guesses. You could follow up by having students draw objects or parts of objects on the board in class. The rest of the class must guess what the object is. ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Some learners may not know what ‘syllable’ means, so write a word with two syllables on the board and split the syllables up, like this: ja-cket [/'d k.it /] When you think they’ve got the idea of what syllables are, you can let them do this exercise alone and then compare their answers with a partner before listening to the audio to check. Play the audio through once just to let them check, then play it a second time so that they can repeat what they hear. You could follow up with pronunciation work focusing on word stress in two-syllable words. Read out the list of two syllable words, emphasising the stressed syllable, and elicit from learners where the stress lies. They should see that the stress in two syllable words tends to be on the first syllable. ANSWERS

Group 1 – one syllable coat / belt / jeans / gloves / dress / socks / shoes / scarf / skirt / shirt / hat / shorts Group 2 – two syllables jumper / trousers / T-shirt / jacket / glasses / trainers

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Again, ask learners to close their books and call out any colours in English that they can remember. Then ask them to open their books and do the matching exercise. Play the audio once to check, then again so that learners repeat what they hear. Encourage correct pronunciation. You could follow up by asking learners to find you things in the classroom that match the colours you call out. For example, call out ‘Green! ’ and ask students to point to things on their desk or around the room. ANSWERS

1 brown shoes / 2 a green shirt / 3 pink glasses / 4 a yellow skirt / 5 white shorts / 6 a red hat / 7 a blue T-shirt / 8 black trousers / 9 a purple dress / 10 grey socks / 11 a beige coat / 12 a orange scarf b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This activity combines the two vocabulary sets (clothes and colours) and practises another question format that is very common in the exam: What colour is/are...? As usual, it’s best if you demonstrate the activity with a learner from the class before asking the rest of the class to do it in pairs. Encourage full answers, for example ‘It’s red ’ or ‘They’re blue’ instead of single word answers such as ‘Red ’ or ‘Blue’. ANSWERS


SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You could begin with closed books. Write the demonstrative pronouns mixed up on the board, like this: thisthosethatthese Ask learners if they can identify four words in the word snake. Then ask them which words refer to one thing (singular) and which words refer to many things (plural). Now ask them to do the exercise on page 17. ANSWERS

1 This That / 2 These Those


UNIT 3 Clothes b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This provides an opportunity to use classroom words and clothes vocabulary whilst practising these determiners. Divide the class into pairs. Get each learner first of all to look around them and write the names of the 6 objects they are going to talk about. There should be a mixture of plural and singular items. Then demonstrate yourself what they have to do before asking pairs to work together.

Lesson B My clothes, your clothes 1a page 18

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Tell learners that they are going to hear part of an interview in which the examiner asks the candidate about some of the photos shown here. Before they listen, however, draw learners’ attention to the photos and ask them a few simple questions about what each one shows. For example:

ANSWERS

Is this a girl/boy?

Open answers

How many babies/girls/boys are there?

Again, these are all typical questions in the exam. Let learners do the matching alone, then play the audio once to check. Then divide the class into two groups: Group A repeat the examiners questions, Group B the answers. Groups then swap roles for a final play and repeat.

The focus here is on the determiners his, her and their. Write them on the board and elicit from learners when we use them. i.e.

ANSWERS

1 a / 2 e / 3 b / 4 d / 5 c / 6 f c

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Do a few example questions yourself working with a learner from the class and then divide the class into pairs. As you monitor, encourage learners to use a variety of question forms here, and encourage full short answers. ANSWERS

Open answers

his – boy / man – masculine, singular her – girl / woman – feminine, singular their – plural Now ask learners to read through the s entences and, working with a partner, try to guess the missing word. Then learners work alone to listen to the audio and to check. ANSWERS

1 her / 2 her / 3 his / 4 his / 5 their / 6 their c

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You might want to do some drill work practising the question: ‘What colour is/are...’ (Remember that candidates are not expected to produce questions in the exam, but for the purposes of this exercise they will need to ask their partners the question.) Once learners are comfortable with the question, demonstrate what learners have to do by working

UNIT 4

The body Lesson A Show me your nose! 1a page 20

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You could begin with a similar brainstorming activity to those used in earlier units – simply ask learners (with closed books) to call out any body related words they can remember while you write them on the board. Then ask them to open their books and do a). Play the audio once to check answers and then a second time so that learners can repeat what they hear. ANSWERS

1 head / 2 eye / 3 ear / 4 foot / 5 hair / 6 nose / 7 leg / 8 teeth / 9 mouth / 10 finger / 11 hand / 12 arm b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Demonstrate with one learner from the class and then get pairs to do the same. Make sure that learners aren’t only giving one word answers. Also, make sure that Student A isn’t always asking questions that elicit the answer ‘Yes, it is’. Make sure that Student A is using plural forms, too. After two minutes, get pairs to swap roles.

2a page 21

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Give learners a few moments to do this alone and then check with a partner before listening to the audio to check their answers. ANSWERS

1 Give me a pen. / 2 Come here. / 3 Open your book. / 4 Point to the door. / 5 Go to the window. / 6 Touch your nose. / 7 Stand up. / 8 Show me your ears. / 9 Sit down. b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Explain to learners that the top circle has verbs, the next circle articles and the lower circle nouns. They can combine these to make different orders. Pairs should take turns making and following orders. Again, you may need to demonstrate what learners need to do beforehand. Follow up: Playing the children’s game ‘Simon says...’ In this game, learners should only follow orders if the speaker begins with ‘Simon says...’ . If someone follows an order without the speaker saying ‘Simon says...’ then they are out of the game. The last player remaining wins the game. Learners can take turns at being the speaker. ANSWERS

Play the audio and pause for learners to respond. Choose one learner at a time to respond.

Make sure that learners use a variety of question formats, and that they take turns in asking and answering. As you monitor, don’t worry too much about correct question formation, but make sure that answers are correct. ANSWERS


SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Students build a dialogue similar to the one they will need to have with a partner in part b). Point out that there are two correct answers for this activity.

Animals A Furry friends

1a page 26

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: With closed books, ask learners to name as many animals as they can in English. Then with open books, can they name the animals shown? Ask how many of each animal are shown – this will lead into the idea of plural forms, then get learners to try the exercise. Point out the focus box information about irregular plurals. Can they remember any other irregular plurals (e.g. foot-feet )? ANSWERS

1 a dog / 2 fish / 3 bird / 4 cats / 5 mice / 6 a rabbit b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: These are typical exam style questions. The focus is on plural versus singular forms. Ask learners which words in the word pool show ‘one’ and which words show ‘more than one’. Then get learners to complete and check. Finally, ask learners to try and memorise the dialogue.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is just a fun activity to practise question forms and body language. You could begin by drawing a similar imaginary animal on the board and asking the whole class to guess which animals it is made from – don’t worry about any lack of artistic skills! After the pair work, get learners to draw their own imaginary beasts and invite them to talk in small groups about what their drawings. 4a Communication Task , page 27

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Draw learners’ attention to the photos of the fish and ask them simple focus questions such as ‘How many fish are there?’ ‘What colour is this fish?’ ‘Is it blue and yellow?’ etc. Tell learners that they are going to hear someone talking about the fish and that they must circle the correct information. Give them a minute to read all the information first, and then play the audio. You may need to play the audio two or three times. ANSWERS

FISH A Name: Bob

UNIT 5 Animals

Lesson B On the farm 1a page 28

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: With closed books, ask learners to call out the English words for any animals they can remember (farm or otherwise) while you write them on the board. Now ask learners which of the animals they called out can be found on a farm. Finally, get learners to open their books and do the matching exercise on page 28. Give them 2 or 3 minutes to work alone before going through the answers altogether. You could drill the words so that learners improve their pronunciation. Pronunciation problems often occur with the vowel sounds of the following: goat , chick , sheep. For further practice, ask learners to ask each other what their favourite animal is. Model the question by asking a learner in the class: A: What are your favourite animals? B: My favourite animals are horses and lambs. What are your favourite animals? ANSWERS

A duck / B goose / C cow / D chick / E donkey / F hen / G goat / H horse / I lamb / J sheep b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: First get learners to work individually and try to match the adjectives in the box with the animals in the pictures. Go through this together. Then divide the class into pairs in order to do the dialogue. Get them first to read the example dialogue in the bubbles, then you demonstrate with a learner from the class and finally give learners five minutes working in pairs. ANSWERS

Open answers

c

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is a simple memory game. Demonstrate by asking all the learners to close their books and then you ask them a few questions about the photos. Remember that learners don’t have to produce questions in the exam, so you can write prompts on the board for them to use in this activity:

How many... are there? What colour is/are...? ANSWERS

Is there a....? Is the cow....?

d

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Demonstrate the sounds and point out the difference in the shape of the lips when producing each: sh – lips pursed and pushed forward s – lips wide and pulled back It can be useful to get students to exercise the sounds and lip shapes in an exaggerated form, slowly becoming more natural. Another classic tongue twister to practise these sounds is ‘She sells sea shells on the sea shore’. 2a page 29

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This activity simply provides practice for the language they need to understand and use. First ask learners to look at the photo. Ask simple questions along these lines: Is this a donkey? Is it grey? How many horses are there? Show me its head. Now tell learners that they’ll hear someone talking about their pet and they must tick the correct information. Give them a moment to read through list, then play the audio. You may need to play it 2 or 3 times. ANSWERS

1 ✗ / 2 ✗ / 3 ✗ / 4 ✓ / 5 ✗ / 6 ✓ b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: If you prefer, you could set the drawing task as homework, and then ask learners to talk about their pet in the next lesson. Alternatively, you could make this into a communication task by having Student A describe their pet and Student B draw it. If a student doesn’t have a pet, they could describe a neighbour’s or relative’s pet, or a pet they would like to have. ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: If possible the teacher should bring a photo of his/her family or a picture of a famous family into the lesson to set the context of family. Then show learners the family tree on page 30. Show them Li and ask, ‘What’s her name?’ ‘How old is she?’ Say that this is her family and ask them to match the words on the left to the photos – in relation to Li. Learners can do this in pairs if you prefer. You could follow up by asking learners to bring photos of family members in to talk about, like this: Student A: Who’s this? Student B: This is my mum ANSWERS

1 A and B / 2 B / 3 A / 4 C / 5 E / 6 D / 7 F / 8 G b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Tell learners that they are going to hear Li talking about her family and that they will make notes under each photo of names and ages. This is simply an activity to practise the kind of language they will need to use in the exam with a native speaker to listen to. Play the audio a couple of times and pause where necessary to give learners time to make notes ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: First of all, revise numbers over 20 by going round the room and asking each learner to say the next number – doing this up to 40 should be sufficient. Then model the two numbers in the table – twenty and twenty two. Ask learners how many syllables

there are. Show them that the stressed s yllables are marked with the large boxes (at the top of the table) then ask them to organise the numbers into the two groups according to their stress pattern. Learners should do this alone – encourage them to say the numbers to themselves so that they hear the pattern – before checking altogether with the audio. Follow up with a simple drill to practise these patterns. Simply count from 20 to 100 in steps of five: 20, 25, 30, 35 etc. Get the whole group to call out the numbers together while you mark the rhythm on the whiteboard. ANSWERS ■■

D Learners should try to complete the table alone and A R then compare with a partner. Finally go through the G answers together with the whole group. Learners don’t need to be able to make questions with ‘have got’ for the exam, but they do need to understand such questions and be able to respond appropriately. You could do a drill to practise ‘Yes, I have’ and ‘No, I haven’t’ responses: Make two flash cards, one with a ✓ and one with a ✗. When learners see the first, they should give a positive answer, when they see the second they should give a negative answer. Ask the class questions with ‘have’, they should respond chorally according to the flash card you show. For example:

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Students need a notebook for this final activity. Learners describe their family to their partner, while the partner tries to draw the correct tree. You could begin this by describing your family to the class and asking them to draw your family tree. Then ask pairs to do the same. While they talk, monitor and pay special attention to their use of ‘have / haven’t got’. ANSWERS

1b/2c/3d/4a/5e 3a Communication Task , page 31

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Introduce this task by asking learners to look at the four family trees. Ask questions like, ‘How many families are there?’. Point to the named person and say, ‘What’s his/her name?’. Then describe one of the families and ask learner to guess which family you are describing. Then organise the group into pairs. First Student A describes and B guesses, then they reverse roles. Remember that learners don’t have to ask each other questions, but they should give detailed descriptions of the families so that it is clear which one they are describing.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Learners can open their books again for this activity so that they can refer to the vocabulary list. Also, bring their attention to the Focus box which includes information about two useful words for qualifying adjectives. Demonstrate the task first by describing a member of the class and asking learners to guess who it is. Then divide the group into pairs to do the same. ANSWERS


SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Explain to learners that they are going to hear an extract from a typical conversation in the exam. Ask them to read through the dialogue once, ignoring the gaps, and tell you what they are talking about (in general). Then ask them to read through again and make guesses as to what the missing words are. Finally, play the audio and let them complete the gaps. You may have to play the audio a couple of times. ANSWERS

1 blond / 2 quite / 3 like / 4 very / 5 dark / 6 brown b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This task focuses on a question type that is quite common in the exam: ‘What does he/she look like?’. If learners don’t know the expression, explain to them that it refers to someone’s appearance.

Then ask them to do the matching exercise. Ask questions about famous people: What does Johnny Depp / Angelina Jolie / Robbie Williams / Keira Knightley look like? ANSWERS

1b/2c/3a c

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Demonstrate by asking a good learner from the class a couple of questions about what people in his/her family look like. Then organise the class into pairs to do the same.

Open answers 3 page 33

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Remind learners that they don’t need to worry too much yet about the grammar of forming questions, but that they should be familiar with these questions as set phrases because they are quite commonly asked in the exam. Give them five minutes to work through this alone before comparing with a partner and finally listening to the audio to check. a ANSWERS

1 How many people are there in your family? / 2 Have you got any aunts or uncles? / 3 What are their names? / 4 How old are they? / 5 What’s your father’s name? / 6 What does he look like? / 7 How old is he? / 8 Tell me about your mother. Play the audio one more time so that learners can answer. The best way to do this is probably to pick out individual learners to respond to each question. Go through this at least twice so that everyone gets a chance to answer.

You may need to pre-teach the word ‘floor’ as it will come up again on page 40. Then put learners into pairs and ask them to draw plans of their own houses and to ask each other about them:

Ask learners to complete the first row of the table for themselves. Then tell them to get information from two other friends in the class. If you have space, this can be done as a mingling activity where learners move around the room and interview each other. At the end, ask one or two learners to report what they noted down. For example ‘Justine lives in a flat. He’s got three bedrooms.’

Student A: What’s this?

Open answers

Student B: It’s the bathroom. etc. ANSWERS

1 bathroom / 2 bedroom / 3 balcony / 4 garden / 5 kitchen / 6 living room / 7 stairs / 8 garage b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: First ask learners to look at the three photos and ask them questions such as: Is this a flat/house? Is this/it a big flat/house? Is there a garden? Are there any trees?

ANSWERS

2a page 37

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This focuses on the ‘there is/there isn’t’ and ‘there are/there aren’t’ structures that learners are expected to know for the exam. Point out to learners that each question has two possible answers (negative and positive). Before moving on to the next part of the task, concept check the two structures by asking learners which refers to singular items (there is/isn’t) and which refers to plural items (there are/aren’t). ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Learners should do this alone. Point out that this is an extract from the audio they heard in exercise 1 – this will help them decide whether to use the negative or positive form. Once they have completed the exercise, ask learners to compare their answers with a partner. Finally, play the audio from exercise 1, part b) again to allow learners to check. ANSWERS

Lesson B My house 1a page 38

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This listening task is a way to present the language that learners are expected to know, and to provide some listening practice of native speakers for learners. Begin by asking learners to look at the table and explain to them that they will hear a boy called Rob Young talking about his house and his neighbour’s house. Ask questions to make sure that they understand how the information in the table is organised. For example: How many floors are there in the Shaw’s house? Is there a dining room in the neighbour’s house? Once they understand how the table works and what information they need to find out, play the audio. You may need to play the audio a couple of times. You could ask learners to complete the first column on the first listening and the second column on the second listening. After the second listening, go through the answers together ANSWERS

POSSIBLE ANSWERS

Ask learners to read the dialogue in the bubbles and tell them that they will have a similar conversation with their partner. Write on the board the structures that you want learners to pr actise during the conversation:

(accept other reasonable possibilities)

There is /isn’t Their house has / hasn’t got There are / aren’t Our house has / hasn’t got Learners should use the table in part a) for reference. This will help them to organise their thoughts and provide structure to the conversation. Give learners a few minutes on their own to think about how their house compares with the Young’s house. Then demonstrate the task by choosing a learner to speak to while the rest of the class listen. Partners need to take turns in making comparisons, like this:

kitchen

living room

bowl, cooker, cupboard, drawers, fork, fridge, knife, sink, spoon, table, glass

armchair, lamp, mirror, picture, rug, sofa, tv

bedroom

bathroom

poster, bed, drawers, rug, wardrobe

rug, bath, mirror, towel

b


Learner B: There isn’t a dining room in their house. There is a dining room in our house.

Make sure learners do this with closed books. Demonstrate with a learner and then get pairs to do the same. Each partner should name the contents of a different room. A follow up activity could be to ask learners to bring in photos of rooms in a house cut out from magazines and catalogues or downloaded from a website. Ask learners to see how many objects in the picture they can name or how many objects from the list in this exercise they can find in the photos.

Learner A: There is a...

ANSWERS

Ask learners to close books and call out any household objects that they can name in English while you write them up on the board. Then ask them to open their books and do the sorting exercise – first alone and then compare with a partner. An alternative approach could be to make this into a game. Ask pairs to organise the words into the four groups as quickly as they can. The first pair to finish is the winner.

UNIT 8

Belongings Lesson A My things 1a page 40

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Make a game out of this task by asking learners to do it in pairs and as quickly as they can. The pair who finishes first – and all correct – is the winner. Alternatively, once learners have gone through the task and you’ve checked answers altogether, you could play a team game such as ‘pictionary’: Divide the class into two teams. Invite a member of the team up to the front of the class. Whisper a word from the list to them. They have one minute to draw or mime the object so that their team mates can guess what the item is. ANSWERS

1 poster / 2 bed / 3 electronic game / 4 rug / 5 drawer / 6 books / 7 toys / 8 CD player / 9 desk / 10 chair / 11 watch / 12 wardrobe / 13 mobile phone / 14 computer b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Demonstrate the task by addressing questions like those listed to the whole class, then divide the class into pairs to do the task. The aim is to revise a variety of language from previous units, so make sure that learners use all the question types listed as they speak to each other. You follow up by asking learners, in pairs or threes, to tell each other about their rooms at home and how they compare with the picture. Write the following prompts up on the board: In my room ... there is/isn’t I’ve got... / I haven’t got...

c

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Explain to learners that two girls share this room: Gwyneth and her sister Emma. Tell them that they will hear Gwyneth talking about some of the things in the room. Learners need to hear the audio twice: First listening: listen once and circle the things Gwyneth mentions. (orange bed / blue bed / CD player / posters / soft toys / mobile phone / watch / electronic game/computer) Second listening: Ask learners to listen to Gwyneth again and write G next to her things and S next to her sister’s things. ANSWERS

Gwyneth’s things: blue bed CD player soft toys computer Her sister’s things: orange bed posters mobile phone watch electronic game 2a page 40

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Learners are expected to understand and use these possessive pronouns in the exam. Give learners a minute or so to go through the exercise before checking altogether. Follow up with a drill to consolidate their understanding of the pronouns. Ask learners to close their books. Do a simple prompt and response drill, using the same pattern used in the exercise they’ve just done: Teacher: It’s your computer. Learners: It’s yours.

ANSWERS

Open answers 3 Communication Task , page 41

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is a simple information gap activity where learners have to learn from their partner who each of the objects in the box belongs to. In order to do this, learners need to be able to ask simple questions using ‘be’ and the possessive pronouns. For example: Is the brush hers? If this is new to your learners, explain to them that the question is formed simply by inverting the subject and ‘be’. You may want to practise this with a few drills like this: Teacher: The brush is hers. Learners: Is the brush hers? Now show learners the photos of the children and ask them what pronoun matches with each: his, hers or theirs? Divide the class into pairs and ask the As to go to page 63. Each learner now has different information under the photos and they must ask each other about who the remaining objects

Now ask learners to do the gap fill task using prepositions from the box. They should do this alone at first, then compare with a partner before listening to the audio to check. You may want to play the audio again and pause for learners to repeat. ANSWERS

1 next to / 2 between / 3 under / 4 in / 5 in front of / 6 behind 2a page 42

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You could follow this up with a simple memory game: Have some objects that learners can name in English on the teacher’s desk. Ask learners to say where things are using prepositions. Then the class to close their eyes while you change the position of things on the desk. When ready, ask learners to open their eyes and tell you what’s changed. This can also be played in pairs. ANSWERS

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The focus of this task is giving short answers using either the verb ‘be’ or ‘there is/are’. Examiners will be looking for candidates ability to use these forms rather than simply giving ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. Write the following on the board and ask learners – working in pairs – to find the correct match:

1b/2c/3e/4a/5d b

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Demonstrate the task with one of the stronger learners and then let the rest do it in pairs. Monitor for correct use of prepositions. ANSWERS

1 Is there a teacher in the class? A No, there aren’t.

Students should do this on their own, then check with a partner before going through it together.

After a minute or so, go through the matches together. Point out that if the question begins with one form, the answer should use the same form. Now tell learners that they are going to read questions about the picture in the previous exercise and that they must write down the correct short answer. ANSWERS

Now ask learners to see if they can remember what time of day Mike does the various activities. Point out that two answers are possible for the same day – for example afternoon and evening. Once they have read through and marked what they think is correct, play the audio to check.

With closed books, see how many of the days of the week learners can remember. Do various choral drills such as: From Monday to Sunday, From Sunday to Monday (i.e. backwards).

ANSWERS

Divide the class into two groups – each group says an alternate day. Watch out for common pronunciation problems, such as:

1 Sunday evening

Monday – the first vowel sound should be very short.

0 Monday morning

Wednesday – is pronounced /wenzdei/.

3 Saturday morning

Then ask them, ‘What day is it today?’. Encourage the full answer ‘It’s...’ . You could also drill this by using flash cards. Repeat the question to the class, but each time hold up a new day and their answer should change accordingly.

4 Wednesday afternoon

Now ask learners to open their books and complete the diary with days of the week. Give them a minute or so and then use the audio to check and repeat. Follow by asking a student, ‘My favourite day is Saturday but I don’t like Monday. What about you?’. The learner you choose answers and then turns to the student next to them and asks the same question. Each student in turn answers and asks the next.

Demonstrate what learners have to do by choosing a good learner from the class to work with you on a few examples.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: First of all draw learners’ attention to the grammar table describing present simple. Note that learners are not expected to form questions in the exam, but they are expected to recognise and understand them. The table is simply provided for reference, but if you think its necessar y, you could do substitution drills to practise the form.

The focus of this task is the three ways to pronounce third person endings for present simple verbs. Each sentence about Alison is an example of one of the third person endings. First, simply ask learners to make matches so that the sentences make sense. Then play the audio for them to check their answers.

Give learners a few minutes to do this alone and then to compare. Finally, play the audio for learners to check their answers.

Point out to learners that each verb ends in a slightly different sound: /s / /z / /iz /.

Student A knows what animals are in 4 of the boxes, while Student B knows what animals are in the other 4 boxes. To find out what animal lives where, they need to ask each other questions. Students shouldn’t say what the animal is, but describe it using descriptions practised in the previous exercise using adjectives of size, colour and parts of the body. You might need to demonstrate what learners have to do. Do an example with one of the stronger learners in the class.

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The aim of this exercise is to encourage learners to give slightly more extended answers to examiners’ questions. Once they have completed the exercise, discuss with learners what other ways the candidate could have elaborated on his answers. Ask learners in pairs to look at the dialogue again and add their own ‘extensions’ to the candidate’s answers. Get examples from one or two learners by way of feedback at the end.


ANSWERS

The focus here is on rising intonation used in closed questions like these.
