QUICK REVIEW Present Simple questions

Work in groups. Ask questions to fi nd out who: gets up fi rst, takes the longest to get to class, spends the most on travel a week, watches TV the most, goes to bed last. A What time do you get up? B At about seven. What about you?

Vocabulary and SpeakingFree time activities

1 a Check students understand the free time activities. Students do the exercise on their own, then check in

pairs. Check answers with the class. Point out that we say volleyball not volley. Model and drill the phrases. Pay particular attention

to the pronunciation of yoga /jəυgə/, cycling /saIklIŋ/ and theatre /θIətə/.

1 go 2 play 3 go to 4 do

b Focus students on the words/phrases in the box. Students do the exercise on their own or in pairs,

then check in Vocabulary 1.4 SB p127. While students are working, draw a four-column

table on the board with the headings do, play, go and go to so that you are ready to check their answers. Check answers with the class. Elicit the answers from students and write them in the correct place in the table on the board.

Point out that we say basketball, not basket. Also highlight that we don’t usually use practise with sports: I play table tennis not I practise table tennis. Point out that we can say do sport(s) or play sport(s). Highlight that gig is an informal word for a concert and that we use it for concerts of most types of music except classical. Also highlight that pilates is a form of physical exercise that aims to strengthen the body and increase fl exibility.

Model and drill the new words/phrases. Pay particular attention to the pronunciation of museums /mjuziəmz/, judo /dudəυ/, pilates /pIlAtiz/ and gym /dIm/.

Draw students’ attention to the TiP and point out that only the main stress in words is shown in the vocabulary sections and Language Summaries. We feel this is the simplest and most effective way to make sure students put the main stress in the correct place. For example, the main stress in art galleries is on art, not on the fi rst syllable of galleries (which is also stressed).

do: judo, pilates, gymnastics play: basketball, cards, table tennis, chess go: running, skateboarding, diving, mountain biking go to: museums, art galleries, concerts/gigs, the gym, festivals

c Students do the exercise in pairs. Elicit answers from students and add them to the table on the board. Answers could include do karate, play tennis, go walking, go to the cinema.

2 Use the speech bubbles to teach Do you ever … ?. Note that we use ever with the Present Simple to mean ‘at any time in your day-to-day life’. Elicit other possible answers using frequency adverbs (No, never. Yes, very often., etc.).

Students work in the same pairs as 1c and take turns to ask each other questions with Do you ever … ? in order to fi nd four things they both do in their free time.

Ask students to share interesting answers with the class.

Reading and Listening3 a Tell students to cover the article on SB p10.

Discuss with the class what students think people in the UK do in their free time.

Write students’ ideas on the board.

b Pre-teach survey and socialising. Point out that we say fi sh and chips, not chips and fi sh, and check students know how to say % (per cent).

Students read the article, circling their guesses for a–r.

c cD1 7 Play the recording. Students listen and check their answers.

Check answers with the class. Ask students which answers they think are surprising.

a men b women c 30% d 20% e four f 45% g 22h quarter i More j 15% k 7% l 20% m Spainn 30% o 46% p tea q coffee r 10

● Write several statistics on the board, for example 30% of adults, 46%, £48 million, etc. Students read the article quickly to find what the statistics refer to. Some numbers, for example 30%, can refer to several things, so accept all correct answers or encourage students to find all the things.

HeLP wiTH VOcABuLARYFrequency adverbs and expressions

Help with Vocabulary sections help students to explore and understand how vocabulary works, and often focus on aspects of lexical grammar. Students should usually do the exercises on their own or in pairs and then check their answers in the Language Summaries in the back of the Student’s Book. You can then check the main points with the whole class as necessary. For more information on the face2face approach to Vocabulary, see p20.

Quick ReView This activity reviews Present Simple questions. Students work in groups and take turns to ask one another questions (What time do you get up?, etc.). Students compare answers to fi nd out who gets up fi rst, etc. Ask students to share interesting answers with the class.

4 a–e Students do the exercises on their own or in pairs, then check in Vocabulary 1.5 SB p127. Check answers with the class.

● a 3 often 4 sometimes 5 occasionally6 hardly ever 7 never

● Highlight that usually, normally and generally have the same meaning.

● Also highlight that in negative sentences we can put often at the end: I don’t play tennis often.

● b after; before● c 2 three times a week 3 every Saturday

4 every couple of weeks 5 once a month6 once every three months

● d We usually put frequency expressions at the end of the sentence or clause: I play tennis once a week.

● Tell students that we can also use a lot and all the time to mean often: He watches TV a lot/all the time.

● Model and drill the phrases in 4a and 4c. Pay particular attention to the pronunciation of usually /juυəli/, generally /denrəli/, occasionally /əkeIənəli/ and once /wns/. Point out that there are two different ways to pronounce often: /ɒfən/ and /ɒftən/. Also point out that usually and generally are three syllables, not four.

5 a Focus students on the example. Students do the exercise in pairs. Check answers with the class.

2 We normally do yoga once or twice a week. 3 I go to the dentist once every six months. 4 Alexander is generally at home on Sundays. 5 Carly goes diving every couple of weeks. 6 My parents are always on holiday in January. 7 I go to an art gallery two or three times a year. 8 We occasionally play volleyball at the weekend. 9 I see my grandparents once or twice a year.

b Students do the exercise on their own. While they are working, monitor and check their sentences for accuracy.

c Students compare sentences in groups and fi nd out how many of their sentences are the same.

Do not share interesting answers with the class at this stage. Students are asked to do a free time survey in 8a and 8b and share their results in 8c.

Listening and Speaking6 a Focus students on the photo and ask what the

people are doing (the woman is doing a survey; the man, Robert, is answering her questions).

Tell students they are going to listen to Robert answering some questions in a survey. Give students time to read the activities on the form before listening.

cD1 8 Play the recording (SB p153). Students listen and fi ll in the form with an adverb or expression of frequency. Play the recording again if necessary. Check answers with the class.

go to a bar or a pub: once a week; go to the theatre: once a month; go to museums or art galleries: never; watch TV: about three hours a day/21 hours a week; do sport: three or four times a week (running); go on holiday: twice a year

b Students do the exercise in pairs. Ask students to share answers with the class.

He’s not very typical because he goes to the theatre once a month, doesn’t go to museums or art galleries, does some sport three or four times a week and has two holidays a year (neither of which are in Spain). However, he goes to the pub once a week and he watches TV for about three hours a day.

HeLP wiTH LiSTeNiNG Sentence stress (1)

This Help with Listening section introduces students to sentence stress and highlights that we stress the important words in sentences and questions.

7 a cD1 8 Focus students on the examples. Then play the beginning of the recording again. Students listen and notice the stressed words.

Point out that the stressed words carry the meaning in sentences and questions.

b Students look at Audio Script cD1 8, SB p153. Play the whole recording. Students listen and notice the sentence stress.

8 a Elicit some ideas for how to start questions about free time activities and write them on the board: Do you ever… ?, How often do you … ?, How much (TV, sport) do you … a week?

Students work in pairs and write a free time survey similar to the one in 6a, with at least six questions.

b Students do the exercise in groups. Remind students to use frequency adverbs and expressions in their answers. While they are working, monitor and help with any problems.

c Finally, ask students to share interesting answers with the class.

Students write up the results of their free time survey. Remind students to use frequency adverbs and expressions and encourage them to use the article on SB p10 as a model.
