Teacher Guide
Remind the students to read all the possible answers before choosing the correct one. Students should underline question words and key vocabulary before choosing the correct answer. You can give candidates prompts or questions and ask students to 'predict' the answers before giving them the options. Look at the questions before and after the gaps to give context.
Show students that certain question words will need certain types of information in the answer. For example the answer to 'how many...? will include a number, and the answer to 'who...?' will include a person.
Have the students read the conversation out loud together to make sure it sounds natural.
