Students play in groups of three. Each group prepares short dialogues which contain sentences
translated word-for-word from their language. Students take turns to act out the dialogues. Any
student from the other groups that spots the mistake raises their hand and says “Hey!”. If the
student says the sentence correctly, their group wins one point. If not, they lose one point.
When the students act out all the dialogues, the team with the most points wins.
“Hi! What are

you doing?”
“I’m fine thanks!”
“Hey! How are

you?”
“Thanks!”
“Nothing!”
“Hey! You’re
welcome!”

Short messages
Students play in pairs. Student A writes a short message to Student B by leaving out the vowels
in words and using single letters or numbers. Then Student B decodes the message, writes it
out in full, and replies in code. Students win one point every time they decode a message
without making any spelling mistakes. Otherwise, they lose one point. The student with the
most points wins the game.

Reading
A couple of months ago I was suffering from chest pains. The doctors did all the regular tests and
finally decided that I needed a heart operation. It was unexpected, but it didn’t worry me so much at
first. I thought that a few weeks off from work was all that was necessary.
The real shock came when they explained that they were going to use a modern robotic arm to
carry out the surgery. The hospital had a new system called da Vinci that allowed doctors to operate
on the heart without cutting the chest open. Although I felt I could trust my doctors, placing my heart
in the hands of a steel machine just seemed like a different matter altogether. I wasn’t looking forward
to it at all.
On the day of the surgery, I tried to keep as calm as I could. The operation itself lasted less than thirty
minutes, and I was under general anesthesia the whole time. The only thing I remember is the doctor saying
that the da Vinci system was more reliable than the finest doctor in the world.
When I woke up, I could understand why. There were hardly any signs of the operation at all. My chest didn’t ache, and the only
marks I had were four tiny scars on my chest the size of peanuts. Best of all, they let me leave the hospital after four days of
important tests and resting. I can’t say that I’d ever like to do it again, but I’m certainly a lot less scared of it now.

Divide the class into two teams. Each team writes 10 sentence prompts. The two teams
exchange their cards. Students also prepare six question prompt cards. A student from team A
picks up a sentence prompt and a question prompt card. Team A needs to ask a question to find
out more information about the sentence prompt. Team B needs to answer this question. Then
a student from B repeats the process. Each team gets one point for each correct
question/answer they give. When students deal with all the sentence prompts, the team with
the most points wins.
Sentence prompts:

12 The people below are all looking for a restaurant to go to. There are eight restaurant
reviews. Decide which restaurant would be the most suitable for the following people.
1 Pauline and her friend Janet like to go out on Friday evening in town to relax after work and enjoy a meal
together. Last week, they had Chinese food. They are both vegetarians, and they love trying new
restaurants and different kinds of food.
2 Mr. and Mrs. Green are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary, and they are looking for somewhere special
for a romantic dinner for two. They like eating fresh fish and would like to listen to some music.
3 Jason will be 18 at the end of the month. His parents have said he can have a party. He wants to invite 10
friends and go somewhere where they can have something to eat and dance.
4 Andrew would like to take his family out this weekend. He and his wife have two children aged 7 and 9 and
his elderly mother also lives with them. He would like to go somewhere with a parking lot, where the food
is English and reasonably priced.
5 Michelle and Lauren are students and have just moved into a new apartment. After a tiring day, they are
hungry. Because everything is still in boxes, they want to eat out or order takeout, but they do not want
to spend a lot of money.

Students play in pairs or groups of three. Each pair or group gets a set of story start cards.
Student A turns over a story start card and reads it to the group/pair. Then student A continues
the story by adding on a sentence that contains one verb (in the past progressive, simple past,
present perfect, or present perfect progressive), and at least one noun or adjective. After
student A completes their turn, the other students continue in the same manner. The sentences
don’t have to make sense, and they can be silly or funny. However, they must be grammatically
correct. Each correct sentence gets one point. If a student makes a mistake or cannot continue,
one point is deducted and the student loses a turn. The game ends when the group can no longer
continue the story. The group with the most points at the end wins the game.
Sample Story Start Cards: Once upon

there is a winner.

Students play in pairs. Give each student five number cards (each card has one number on it: 1,
2, 3, 4, and 5). Each pair gets two situation cards and they must decide which role they are going
to take. Then students must perform a dialogue based on their situation card in front of the
class. Each dialogue should last 20-30 seconds. At the end of each performance, each student
gives the pair a score by holding up one of their number cards. Add up all the numbers of each
performance and keep track of the scores by writing them on the board. Once all pairs have
performed, the pair with the highest score wins the game.

Student B: I just don’t know what to do.
Student A: What’s the problem?
Student B: Ann. I really like her, but I just don’t know what to say. What should I do?
Student A: I see. Well, if I were you, I’d ask her on a date.
Student B: No way! What if she turns me down?
Student A: Why don’t you sit next to her in class and start a conversation? That’s easy enough
to do.
Student B: That’s easy for you to say.
Student A: Come on, Tom. You shouldn’t be so shy. Look. She’s alone. Go!
Student B: OK, I’ll give it a try. It might not be such a bad idea.
Student A: Good luck!
After Pair 1 finishes their dialogue, each student holds up their score cards. Add up the numbers and
move on to the next pair. Continue this procedure until all pairs have performed their dialogues.

Students play in pairs. Give each student five object/animal/event cards and a topic sentence.
Students place the cards face down on their desks. Student A picks up one of their cards and
reads the topic sentence aloud without reading the object/animal/event. Student B must figure
out what the object/animal/event is by asking yes/no questions. Student A should say “warm,”
“warmer,” “cold,” or “colder” in order to guide student B. There should be a limit of 8 questions
for each word. If student B guesses the object/animal/event within 8 questions, they get one
point. If they can’t guess the word, they don’t receive a point. Student A repeats this process
until they have used all their cards. Then, student B does the same thing with their cards. Each
pair continues this process until they have used all their cards. The winner is the student who
has the most points at the end of the game.

Student A: Warm. the floor. It was green and it

Student B: Did it have four legs?
Student A: No, you’re getting colder.
Student B: Did it have any legs?
Student A: No.
Student B: Was it a snake?
Student A: Yes!
Student B asked four questions and figured out the correct answer, so they receive one point.
Each pair must repeat this process until they have used all their cards.
Variation: Have students make up their own cards and topic sentences.

Divide the class into two teams. Students prepare cards with the following three areas: Conditionals,
Vocabulary, and Future forms and they put them in three different boxes. Both teams place their
counters on the start box. Students take turns rolling the dice and match the number on the dice to
one of the topics using the key below. Students move their counter according to the number rolled on
the dice. They pull out a card from the appropriate box and complete the sentence/question. If they
give acceptable answers, they stay where they are. If not, they move backwards one space. If a team
lands on a “Surprise” box, they must answer one question selected by the other team. The first team
to reach the finish is the winner.

Divide the class into two teams. A student from each team writes all the modals that have been
taught in this module (e.g., must/have to ➞ obligation, don’t have to ➞ lack of obligation, etc.).
Each team prepares a set of problem cards. You also need a dice and two counters. Students put
their counter on the central square (0) of the progress bar. The cards from both teams are put
into two different boxes and each team keeps the box with its own cards. A student from team
A picks up a card from the box that team B has and reads it aloud. Students need to come up
with three sentences about the problem on their selected card, using three different modals
from the list on the board. Then team B repeats the same process. If students cannot make
proper sentences, they miss a turn and move back one space.

Cell phone codes

Students play in pairs. Draw a large picture of a cell phone keypad on the board. Student A thinks
of a secret word related to vacation activities, and looking at the keypad, he/she tells Student B
the numbers that correspond to the letters of the secret word. Student A gives two of the letters
as a clue. NOTE: Weaker groups can be given the first and last letters (e.g., M _ _ _ _ M). Stronger
groups can be given any two letters. Student B then writes out all the possible letters and tries to
find the secret word. If Student B guesses correctly, he/she gets a point. Students then change
roles and repeat the game. The winner is the first to reach 10 points, or the one with the most
points after an agreed time limit.

G Read the text. For each question choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D).
Benetton is a family business. My father started the company, Italy’s largest clothing
manufacturer, forty years ago and we now have around 5,000 stores selling Benetton clothes in 120
countries worldwide. I recently took over as chairman and I want the business to grow, but I also
want to keep the values that have made Benetton an international name.
Having three children means it’s not necessary for me to set the alarm clock. I live very
close to my office so I can be there in five minutes and as soon as I sit at my desk, I get to work.
Time is valuable and there isn’t usually enough to get through everything that needs to be
done. My job is quite varied – it’s not all about clothes. At the moment, we are developing
charity projects in Africa and helping the UN World Food Program – we need to listen to the
people the world has ignored.
When I was growing up, my parents made sure I was able to look after myself and I want
to raise my children in the same way. I don’t treat them like children, I treat them like adults.
They can be childish if they want, but they need to take responsibility for the things they do
and the choices they make. I would love to be with my children more, but my job is very
demanding. That’s why the time I get to spend with my family is extremely valuable to me.

Community Campaigns
A Friend for Life is an organization that tries to give a little help and comfort to the elderly in society.
Members are encouraged to visit the elderly in their homes and see if they need anything. Help could range
from doing the shopping to simply having a friendly chat. No experience necessary.

TEST 6 (Module 6)
B A Clean Sweep aims to improve the town by cleaning the streets. Teams of volunteers meet and pick up
all the litter that is ruining the image of the community. A different street is chosen every week and the
clean-up takes place on the weekend.
C Watch Your Garden Grow is a group of people who want to improve the appearance of the town by
planting trees, bushes, and flowers in areas that have been abandoned. Not only does it make the area more
attractive, but it creates spaces where children can play safely.
D Paint the Town Red started three years ago when a few local residents painted over some walls that had been
covered in graffiti. Members meet two evenings a week to repaint public walls. The paint is supplied by the
town council and all you have to bring is a little bit of enthusiasm and a paint brush!
E Re-Fashion aims to help the poor by giving them clothes that people do not want any more. There are a
number of ways to help out. You can either collect the clothes or take them to those in need. You can also
wash and iron the clothes at home if you want.
F Brick By Brick is an organization that chooses an old abandoned building and rebuilds it so that it can be
used by various charities. There are not many members, but they are all experienced builders so you will
need some knowledge of construction if you want to lend a helping hand.
G Hit the Beach believes that tourists are ruining our coastline and every weekend it organizes a clean-up of
the nearest beaches. This is a very popular campaign because the group often has a beach party at the end
of a busy day. Don’t worry though, they take home all their litter!
H Home Street Home helps the many homeless in our town. Based in an old office building, the charity provides
a regular evening meal and medical advice to those in need. Volunteers with hospital experience are
particularly in demand.

The award-winning National Media Museum, based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, is home to

of northern England devoted to film, photography, and television. There’s so much to do that
you’ll simply have to come back more than once.
Film
ñ Our two screening rooms regularly show both modern and classic movies and we often
welcome guests from the movie industry to talk about their work.
ñ Our large-screen IMAX theater offers a daily program of exciting movies in both 2-D and
3-D.
ñ We organize three major film festivals every year – The Bradford International Film
Festival in March, The Mango Festival in September, and The Bradford Animation
Festival in November.

Television
“Well, gentlemen, you have now invented the biggest time-waster ever.” This is what Isaac
Shoenberg said to his development team at EMI following a demonstration of their first
electronic television in 1934. Over three quarters of a century later, television is the most popular
form of entertainment and you’ll find the world’s largest collection of television technology right
here at the National Media Museum. Our collection takes you back to the late 19th century when
television was just a dream for inventors and the word “television” didn’t even exist.

it is the best way to shop. S2: Yes.
Shopping online certainly has its advantages.
First of all, it is convenient. You can shop from
your own home anytime of the day or night.
Secondly, it is easy and quick to shop. You can
buy what you want in seconds without standing
in long lines. No need to get in the car and head
to the shopping center; one or two clicks and
you are shopping.
However, there are some drawbacks to shopping
online. There is the problem of checking products.
By only seeing pictures of products, it is difficult
to be certain about their quality. You cannot try
on clothes for fit and style. There are no sales
assistants to ask certain questions or advice.
Furthermore, you have to pay by credit card, but
it may not be safe to give out personal details
