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.
10mins: Introduction: Speaking practice - Draw two pictures on the whiteboard. There should be 3-5 differences. Have the students practice making statements about what they see, using phrases such as: 'in this picture' 'here there is/are' 'here there is/isn't' 'this picture has got' 'this picture hasn't got'. Differences on the exam will relate to colour, number, position, appearance, shape, activity and relative size.
05mins - Review online homework. What topics were discussed? Was the homework easy, medium or difficult? Answer any questions the students may have.
15mins - Activity: Ask questions/make suggestions to the class. Have them write appropriate answers for each question in a complete sentence. Ex: Shall we go to the cinema? Have you ever felt afraid of monsters? Would you like to eat dinner at my house? What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow? Have you got any plans for the weekend? Etc. Then, have students read one of their responses out loud. Their classmates must try to remember what question it's the answer to.
