Teacher Guide
In this exercise, the students need to think of the word that fits in each gap. Review phrasal verbs, such as 'carry out' etc. Have them read the completed text out loud and ask them if any parts don't sound natural to them - then explain those parts and give further examples.
10mins - Conversation: Discuss role models - what makes a person a good role model? Who is an important person to them? Why? Have each student prepare a 1-minute speech about a role model in their life, then present them to the class.
15mins - Skill practice: Discuss - Listening for opinion, attitude, gist, main idea, specific information. Give some short speeches stating various opinions on a topic and have them summarise your points afterward. Suitable topics could be: the importance of travel for young people, should plastic bags be banned, global warming, social media, bullying.
