Real-world competence: The real-world

competence-based approach to learning uses factual content,

peer review and self-reflection as well as scaffolded language skills to engage teens Reading texts focus

on real-world people, places and events, and have been carefully selected to engage students in the topic, while critical thinking activities are structured from lower order thinking skills (remembering, understanding, applying) to higher order thinking skills (creating, evaluating, analysing)

The subskill features cover a wide range of strategies to develop students’ skills

Media rich content: The course offers a wide variety

of high-quality videos

• Videos ranging from vlogs and tutorials to original documentary clips present the topic and target language in an engaging format designed to pique

teens’ interest Video skills activities develop

students’ video literacy and viewing skills, helping them to analyse video content and understand the purpose of the video

• Situational dialogue videos feature teens using functional language in real-life scenarios, and presenting key language

in context with the aim of helping students with their own speaking.

• Project videos model project outcomes in a variety

of contexts to frame students’ own responses

The world today is constantly changing How can you, as teachers, ensure that your students are ready to face the future – a future in which most of them will work in jobs that don’t even exist yet? A teacher can empower students with the skills they need to succeed and thrive in that world

Get Involved! will support you with this task as it gives teenagers the tools to build skills for the real

world of the future.

Welcome to Get Involved!

Super skills: The World Economic

Forum identified four competences

that can equip today’s students to

succeed The skills of collaboration,

creativity, communication

and critical thinking provide

the foundations to be able to

adapt and thrive in our changing world In addition

to the 4Cs, social and emotional competences are

essential to students’ development Our carefully crafted

methodology allows students to develop these super

skills while learning English.

Collaborative projects:

Each unit opens with

a What do you think?

question encouraging

students to reflect on

the topic The end-of-unit projects lead students to

create a collaborative response to the question, putting

into practice the knowledge and language gained in

the unit A unique approach to projects, including the

Graphic organiser summary, makes project work easy

to do in class and encourages all students to get involved

in large classes Super skills are developed step by step

with each project, and learner autonomy is encouraged

as students analyse and reflect on their work through

self-evaluation steps.

Inclusive classroom: Every-ability features support

different learner types and encourage all students to

succeed A variety of approaches support differentiated

learning Workbook activities have been carefully graded

with star ratings to reinforce and stretch students’ learning,

and the Teacher’s Resource Centre offers graded tests

and worksheets to complement the syllabus

Whole-class engagement

is integral to each lesson

Brain teaser puzzles based

on target grammar, with

a focus on visual clues,

mental arithmetic and logic,

allow students to show their

talents in the classroom

Peer review in productive skills can be used to pair

stronger and weaker students to encourage individual

and collaborative development

These activities are designed to work with a variety

of vocabulary or grammar points, so you can use

them in the classroom again and again Some of

them are also suggested as lesson Warmers and

Extra activities in the teaching notes

The activities can act as a quick time-filler or be

extended for in-depth practice of a key point They

require minimal preparation

Alphabet race groupwork vocabulary

An adaptable game for encouraging students to broaden

their vocabulary range

Put students into small teams and ask them to think of

a word for each letter of the alphabet for a vocabulary

set you want to revise Tell students not to get stuck on a

letter and to move on if they can’t think of a word Set a

four-minute time limit (or more/less depending on your

class’s ability and the difficulty of the set), give regular

time updates, then when the time is up ask students to

count their words

The team with the most correct words wins the game When

checking answers, write some of the words on the board

if students can use them in an activity later in the lesson

Chain sentences whole class

A creative, confidence-building game that could also be

played in smaller groups

The teacher starts by saying a sentence using target grammar

or vocabulary The teacher points to a student who has to

use the last key piece of information/word/action/phrase

in a new sentence using the target grammar structure(s)

Then another student continues in the same way, etc

e.g Teacher: I was walking home when I saw a football.

Student 1: I was playing with the football when I saw a bike

Student 2: I was riding the bike when I met my friend.

This activity can be adapted to become Chain questions

where the teacher starts off with a question using target

grammar or vocabulary A student answers the question

then asks another student a different question using the

same target grammar/vocabulary, and so on

Charades whole class vocabulary

An active favourite for practising vocabulary

Put the class into small groups Have one student from

one team come up to the board and act out (with no

noise and no props) an item of vocabulary or a phrase for

his/her team to guess They have 20 seconds to guess it

A correct guess gets a point for their team If they fail, the

other teams can try to steal the point

Then a member of the next team comes up and does the

same thing

Optional: You can offer the chance to double their points

if the student guessing can also spell the word correctly

on the board

Dictogloss pair/groupwork listening

A listening and transcription task that utilises a video or audio clip the students are already studying

Play a short section of a video or listening text again (perhaps 30–40 seconds) for students to write down key words and short phrases In pairs or small groups, students race to reconstruct the dialogue from memory using all of their notes Play the video/audio again, if necessary The pair/group who comes up with a text that

is the most similar to the original wins

To increase the level of challenge, use a completely new clip

First to five pair/groupwork vocabulary grammar

A racing game to practise vocabulary or grammar structures

Read out a category related to the vocabulary set or grammar structure you want to practise Pairs or small groups race to think of five words for each category The first ones to complete the task shout out ‘First to five’ Check their answers If the words are correct, they win a point Then give the class a new category and repeat The pair or group with the most points wins the game

In larger classes, assign five points to those who complete first, four points to second place, etc and one point to everyone who completes their list Use peer checking if necessary

Hot seat whole class vocabulary

A team racing game that can get a little noisy!

Divide the class into two teams Ask a volunteer from the first team to sit in a chair with his/her back to the board, facing the class Write a word from the unit on the board

so that the volunteer can’t see the word His/her team gives clues for him/her to guess the word in a minute using synonyms, antonyms and definitions, etc A correct guess gets a point for their team Swap teams and repeat with a new word, changing the volunteer every time The team with the most points wins the game

In my opinion groupwork speaking

A debate task that encourages students to be able to present both sides of an argument

Set up the activity in groups of three for students to ask opinion questions on topics relevant to the unit you are working on The first student asks an opinion question and the other two students must respond One must give

a positive response and the other a negative, irrespective

of their own opinion If you have a particular speaking subskill you’d like them to practise, point this out to them Remind students to give reasons for their opinions to encourage them to debate each topic

Trang 7

Memory game whole class

vocabulary grammar

A game to practise vocabulary or grammar as a class.

The first player begins by saying a sentence containing

target vocabulary or grammar, e.g I went shopping and

I bought a banana and some cereal They point to the next

person who has to repeat the beginning and add a new

item: I went shopping and I bought a banana, some cereal

and some cheese

Students can make new sentences if they wish, but they

must say the original one first

Students continue until someone makes a mistake or

can’t remember, then they pass their turn to another

student, who can start a new sequence if they wish

No points, please! pair/groupwork

vocabulary

A game to widen vocabulary

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible

In pairs or small groups, students brainstorm five

vocabulary items connected to a topic (e.g personal

qualities) Write down five vocabulary items on the

topic yourself When everyone has finished, read out

your words to the class Students score two points for

every word that other groups have come up with and

zero points for any unique words – one that nobody

else comes up with Check understanding of any more

difficult or unusual vocabulary Encourage students to

record words that are new to them or they had forgotten

You could also do this with grammar terms, e.g irregular

verbs, or with speaking phrases, e.g the Key phrases of

two or three units

Snowman whole class vocabulary

A board game to review vocabulary or introduce a new topic.

Draw a snowman on the board (two or three snowballs,

two eyes, a nose, a mouth, two stick arms, three buttons,

and a hat) Choose a key word you want students to focus

on Draw dashes on the board to represent the letters Ask

students to suggest letters of the alphabet to guess the

secret word If they guess a letter in the word, write it in

any spaces where this letter occurs If they guess a letter

that doesn’t exist in the secret word, the snowman begins

to melt – first his buttons fall off (all at once, otherwise it

gets too long), then his mouth, then his nose and his eyes,

etc until he has completely melted and disappeared

You can also ask students to guess a phrase,

e.g _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _! “I love Snowman!”

Spidergram whole class vocabulary

Spidergrams (also known as mind maps) can help students

discuss and record vocabulary in a visual way, to aid

memorisation This activity encourages students to utilise

them in their own vocabulary recording.

Write a word or phrase in a circle in the centre of the board,

e.g fruit Then draw a few main topic lines radiating in all

directions from the centre, and elicit words related to the topic Write these words at the end of each ‘branch’ You can extend the exercise by eliciting other related vocabulary See the spidergram below for examples Colour, symbols and images all help to show the organisation of the subject, and they aid memorisation Have students copy the spidergram onto a full page of their notebook, and they can add to it as they learn new vocabulary

Once students are familiar with how spidergrams work, they can be tasked with creating their own in their notebooks

round

adjectives

red fruit

types of fruit

orange

parts of fruit

Draw a simple spidergram on the board with a key word

in the middle and perhaps five associated words on a branch each

Challenge students, in pairs, to think of a sentence using each of the words, on the subject of the word in the middle

It can be a defining sentence or just a model sentence Give them a time limit (perhaps 30 seconds per sentence you want them to produce)

When checking answers, decide if you want to correct grammar or overlook it at this stage – often this is a vocabulary activation task so grammar is not the focus

Spot the mistake whole class grammar

A simple but effective way to check what students do and don’t know about a grammar point

Put students into teams of four or five Write a sentence

on the board using key grammar Students confer in their teams and quickly decide if the sentence is grammatically correct or incorrect If the sentence is incorrect, students must come up with the correct sentence The first team to tell you the right answer wins a point Repeat with further sentences The team with the most points at the end wins.This can also be played with factual mistakes rather than grammatical ones, or with spelling mistakes, collocation errors, etc

Name your favourite thing Then, ask a student sitting

on your right to say the name of their favourite thing

(If you prefer, you can be more specific and ask for their

favourite food, favourite place, favourite hobby, favourite

subject, etc.)

Continue going round the room, each person saying the

name and favourite thing of everyone who has spoken

To get students who have already answered to continue

to participate, you can allow students to mime clues to

others who are having trouble remembering

Vocabulary: activities

1 1 See the audioscript on p130.

• Ask students to match verbs from A and words

from B

• Play the audio for students to check their answers

running, ice hockey, tennis, karate, swimming, gymnastics.

2 • Draw students’ attention to the model dialogue

• Ask students to note the extended reply, i.e

the student answers the question and then

gives examples

• Focus on the expressions in the box In pairs,

students take turns to ask and answer about

their preferences Encourage students to ask follow-up questions where appropriate

Extra activity

Divide the class into groups of three Draw a Venn diagram

on the board (see below) and ask students to complete

it by referring to the activities in exercise 1 Ask each group to find which activities they all have in common, which only two of them have in common, which only one person does and which none of them do

C

Listening

• Play the audio for students to listen and do the task

Exercise 3

Playing sport or watching?, Cats or dogs?

4 • Play the audio again for students to listen and

answer the questions When you check answers,

elicit the sentences which helped students choose their answers

Challenge If you need to play the audio again for less confident students, set a challenge for more confident students to do while the others are completing the task They note down all the words related to sport, vocabulary and adjectives for talking about animals, and ways to socialise that they hear in the audio

(Sport: playing sport, fan, team, Manchester City,

season ticket, home matches, away matches, watching

sport, play rugby, train Vocabulary and adjectives for

talking about animals: cat person or a dog person,

labrador puppy, cute, take him for a walk every day, more independent, friendlier, more reliable, more

Exercise 6 present simple: hardly ever, often, once/twice a week, every day present continuous: now, today, at the moment

7 • Point out that students should write sentences in response to both instructions 1 and 2 about each picture before they move on to the next picture

• Refer students to the example sentences and ask them to complete the task

• Elicit why students need to use different

tenses in 1 and 2 (present continuous for things

happening now and present simple for habits or regular activities).

• Students can compare their answers in pairs before you elicit answers as a class

Exercise 7 Suggested answers:

1 They are playing pop music They are playing classical music She is stroking

a cat He is walking a dog They are eating sushi They are eating pizza

She is doing yoga in the park He is mountain biking They are watching a horror film They are watching a comedy They are playing football They are watching football

I play football once a week, etc

Extra activity

In pairs, ask students to talk for a minute about a pair

of photos on the page, using and expanding on their

answers to exercise 7, e.g The woman is doing yoga

in a park She is sitting on a blue mat and her arms are

up in the air She is wearing a white top and blue grey leggings… Encourage them to use a countdown timer.

With more confident classes, write some more advanced

vocabulary on the board for students to use, e.g chopsticks,

casual sports clothes, orchestra, adventurous, crowd, scary …

Grammar: comparative and superlative adjectives

Exercise 8

1 cheap, happy, easy, slow 2 challenging, exciting

3 active, easy, enjoyable, happy, noisy, reliable, stressful

9 • Before students do the task, review the rules for forming comparative and superlative adjectives if necessary or highlight common errors

Exercise 9

4 more challenging 5 the best 6 bad

Comparative and superlative adjectives

• Students may forget to double the last consonant in one-syllable words that end in a consonant + vowel +

consonant: bigger than, the biggest.

• Students may also need to be reminded that there are some two-syllable adjectives that can take both

-er/-est and more/the most: clever, narrow, quiet, shallow and simple (cleverer than = more clever than; the cleverest = the most clever).

example in exercise 11, e.g What’s the worst

place to live?

Reinforcement Ask students to first decide which of the adjectives are regular and which are irregular

Challenge Ask more confident students to create additional questions to ask their partner

Exercise 10

1 What’s the worst place to live? 2 What’s the most interesting school subject?

3 What’s the best type of music? 4 What’s the most exciting sport?

Culture note

Henderson Island is an island in the South Pacific It is a

United Nations World Heritage Site and is in one of the

world’s biggest marine reserves Lavers stayed on the island

in 2015 and was shocked to find 18 tons of plastic on the

beaches The South Pacific Gyre, a circular ocean current,

collects plastic pollution from around the world, and some

of this floating waste is deposited on land

Tokyo is an example of a mega-city: a city with a population

greater than ten million Lots of mega-cities are emerging in

the developing world as people migrate in search of work

The number of megacities grew from 28 in 2014 to 33 in

2018 – more than triple the number in 1990

The top ten mega-cities are: 10 Osaka (Japan), 9 Dhaka

(Bangladesh), 8 Beijing (China), 7 Mumbai (India), 6 Cairo

(Egypt), 5 Mexico City (Mexico), 4 Sao Paulo (Brazil),

3 Shanghai (China), 2 Delhi (India) and 1 Tokyo (Japan)

2 • Before students do the task, remind them that

2 She’s an environmental researcher.

3 It is trying to use alternative energies.

(1 Where is the nearest town? 2 What does Lavers do?

3 What is the city of Tokyo trying to do to save energy?)

Grammar: was/were and

there was/were

5 • Point out the section heading and tell students that they should just think about the form of the

verb be (i.e was/were) and there was/were.

• Ask students to identify the singular, plural and uncountable nouns in the box (singular noun = Jennifer Lavers; plural noun = the beaches, any people;

uncountable noun = litter)

• Remind them that uncountable nouns have no plural form

Trang 15

PB 15

• Elicit the question forms (Was Jennifer shocked?

Were all the beaches polluted? Were there any people

on the island? Was there litter everywhere?)

Exercise 5 singular nouns: was/wasn’t plural nouns: were/ weren’t uncountable nouns: was/wasn’t

6 • Ask students to look at the title of the text and the photo and predict what it is going to be about

• Ask students to skim read the text and say if

Los Angeles is a mega-city and elicit why not (a

mega-city has more than ten million inhabitants).

Reinforcement Tell students they need was x 3,

2 • Students do the task Feed in information

from the box on Pronunciation of the past

simple below.

Exercise 2

1 regular: move, live; irregular: be, know

2 I didn’t know … 3 Did you live … ?

Pronunciation of the past simple

There are three ways to pronounce the -ed ending of

regular verbs in the simple past tense: /ɪd/, /t/ or /d/

The pronunciation depends on the sound at the end of

the infinitive of the main verb and whether it is voiced or

not (Highlight that a voiced sound is one that vibrates in

your throat when you say it.)

/d/lived, enjoyed, smiled, moved, studied

3 • Ask students to work independently to first complete the sentences with the correct form of the past simple in brackets

• After checking they have the correct verb forms, ask them to complete the sentences with words

or numbers to make them true for them

Extra activity

Ask students to change just one of the sentences to make

it false for them In pairs, students read out their sentences for their partner to guess which one is false Encourage them to ask questions to find out more information,

e.g. Why didn’t you like pizza when you were younger?

Grammar: used to

4 • Refer students to the examples and ask them to

spot examples of used to in the text in exercise 1

(I used to go sailing with my dad; I didn’t use to live;

What did you use to do there?)

• With less confidents students, refer to the

example sentence I used to go sailing with my

dad Point out that I is Sam in exercise 1.

• Ask some concept-checking questions:

Did Sam sail in the past?

Do you think Sam sailed a lot or not very much?

Does Sam sail now?

• Highlight that used to is used to refer to

repeated actions or situations in the past and things which are no longer true

• Feed in information from the box below

Exercise 4

Lesson aims Students learn personality adjectives,

revise antonyms and ask and answer questions about

personal qualities.

Warmer

Do a quick personality quiz

Ask students to think of a colour and list three adjectives

that describe it Then they think of an animal and list three

adjectives that describe it (They can’t repeat adjectives.)

Tell them that the colour adjectives represent what they

think of themselves and the animal adjectives represent

what they think of other people

Students compare their answers in pairs

Elicit interesting and unusual answers from students

Ask students what they think today’s lesson is going to

be about (describing people)

Elicit the meaning of inspire (= to give someone the

enthusiasm to do or create something)

Ask students to think of two things:

1 situations when they need inspiration (e.g when they

have to write something)

2 words they associate with inspiration (e.g creativity,

imagination, idea, challenge, beautiful)

Tell students they will learn more about inspiration

through the unit and will return to discuss the question

at the end of the unit

Describing people

1 Explain to students that associating the

adjectives with characters from TV shows or

films helps to remember them

• Remind students that funny means amusing but

fun means enjoyable and it is important not to

confuse them

Challenge Ask students to think of characters

from TV shows or films for the additional

adjectives they think of and then share their

ideas with the class during feedback

• Write the additional adjectives students think of

on the board for use in exercise 2

Exercise 1

Suggested answers: awesome, brilliant, clever, gentle, happy, helpful,

interesting, nervous, polite, relaxed, wonderful

Extra activity

Write further examples of inspiring characters from TV shows and films on the board and ask the class which adjectives could be used to describe each person

Examples:

Rey (Star Wars films) – strong, brave, kind Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games) – independent, brave, sensitive

Sheldon Cooper (The Big Bang Theory) – funny, rude, smart Lisa Simpson (The Simpsons) – intellectual, kind, sensible

Then ask students to write a sentence about three of the characters, using the words from exercise 1 Tell them they can make them positive or negative sentences

2 • Check the spelling of the opposites of the other adjectives students have thought of in exercise 1 and write them on the board for students to add to their lists

Reinforcement Allow students to use their dictionaries to find the opposites

Exercise 2

Opposites with a negative prefix (un-) or negative suffix (-less): careless,

unfriendly, unpleasant

Other opposites: quiet, noisy

Plus students’ own answers

Opposites with a negative prefix (un-) or negative suffix (-less):

happy – unhappy; helpful – unhelpful; fear – fearless, interesting – uninteresting

Other opposites: relaxed – stressed; polite – rude

Prefixes and suffixes

Explain to students that prefixes and suffixes create new words, and that a good knowledge of prefixes and suffixes will increase their vocabulary

Give students these tips:

• The spelling of the base word doesn’t usually change

• Prefixes and suffixes can only be used with specific

words, e.g the suffix -less means without:

care + less = without care = careless.

• Follow-up questions:

What is the prize for the competition?

(a recommendation to join the European Space Agency programme)

Culture note

Astronauts: Do you have what it takes? is a real

competition and a real TV programme, which aired in 2017

Former Commander of the International Space Station, Chris Hadfield, and other experts, chose 12 people to compete in a six-week training regime

4 Point out to students that understanding the adjectives in bold is key to deciding who is the best candidate Adjectives are used to describe both character and ability

• Give students time to read the whole article

• Elicit opinions from different students around the class and encourage them to justify their answers

5 • Tell students to work independently Check their answers and ask them how to say the words in their own language

• Draw students’ attention to the example sentence In pairs, ask students to describe someone they know using each adjective

Reinforcement Students work in pairs They write definitions for three words each and share their answers

Fast finishers

Ask students to think of opposites for the words in bold in the text When everyone has finished, ask them to read out their words for the rest of the class to find the matching adjectives in the text

(Suggested answers: confident – shy, reliable – unreliable,

hard-working – lazy, enthusiastic – unenthusiastic, brave – cowardly, sensible – careless, calm – angry, positive – negative, generous – ungenerous, talented – talentless, sociable – unsociable, patient – impatient, curious – uninterested, creative – uncreative)

Trang 25

PB 25

Word order

Point out that most questions in English are object questions – we want to know about the receiver of the actions These questions follow the QuASM formula for word order: Question word, Auxiliary, Subject, Main verb

Sometimes, however, the thing we want to know is the subject of the question, i.e the person or the thing who performed the action These are called subject questions because the question word is the subject of the sentence

Remind students that for subject questions there is no auxiliary verb and the word order is not inverted

(being clean reduces the spread of infection)

• Check their answers and elicit or explain that bank

in the organisation’s name refers to a place where things are stored, not a financial institution

• Ask why the prefix eco- is appropriate in the

name (it helps the environment because it recycles soap that hotel guests do not use)

Exercise 1

of time to complete the first two stages After the time is finished, ask students to share their ideas with a partner before they write their profile

• CHECK Ask students to go through their profile

and answer the questions Ask them to make corrections if necessary

Exercise 6 Suggested answer:

Although you might not know Rebecca’s name, she is someone I admire and she inspires me Rebecca set up the non-profit Access Books because she wanted to improve school libraries in poor areas

While she was researching literacy, she discovered school libraries in poor areas were terrible The books were old and in bad condition Young people didn’t have access to interesting books so they were doing worse at school Access Books has provided over 1.5 million books Now, because young people in these schools are more interested in reading, they do better at school

Rebecca didn’t stop there Many of the libraries were in poor condition so the group decorated them together with students, parents and staff Access Books also offers author visits because they want to interest young people in books and writing

Rebecca’s work certainly made me think because I didn’t realise there was a problem In my opinion, Rebecca’s work is making a difference because she has helped to improve literacy and her work

7 • Peer review Ask students to exchange profiles with another student and answer the questions

Ask them to share their information in groups

Ask students to look at the Graphic organiser for this unit

on p118 Allow five minutes for them to discuss with a partner what they learnt about inspiring people and what they have enjoyed most about the unit

Point out to students that this is the same WDYT?

question that they were asked at the beginning of the unit Ask them to reflect on how their thoughts have developed, and discuss the question

Write some prompts on the board to help less confident students contribute to the discussion:

be ambitious, aim high, never give up, positive, optimistic, challenge, enthusiasm, change people’s lives

Leave these phrases on the board for use during exercise 2

TASK

Read through the task and the learning outcomes with the class Tell students that they will need to use the language from the Quick review on p21 to successfully complete their project

Elicit the meaning of non-verbal communication (= conveying

meaning without words) Ask students to think of examples

of this (facial expressions, body movements, eye contact, posture, how much space we put between us and others)

• Read out the question If necessary, revise the

meaning of inspire.

• Ask students if they know the people that the students talk about

• Ask students what they think of the presentations

in the video Ask: Is there anything you would do

differently when doing your own presentation?

• With less confident classes, you could make a list

of inspiring people on the board and elicit Key phrases about each one This will help students decide which person they are interested in

3 • See the Model project on p23 and the Model project notes for further ideas

5 • Refer students to the texts in the Model project to help them recognise the appropriate grammar and vocabulary for the task

• Remind students to use the language from the Quick review on p21 in their presentation where possible

7 • Give students time to read the How to … tips

before dividing the class into pairs to practise their presentations

• Encourage pairs to use the Key phrases to feed back to one another Remind them to offer positive feedback as well as negative

• Tell students when it is time to stop practising and move on to recording, to ensure that everyone has enough time to complete their video

STEP 4: PRESENT

8 • Ask students to think of questions to ask their classmates, e.g.:

Why did you choose this person?

What do you think we can learn from this person?

• Encourage them to also think of questions while watching

• Give students time to ask some of their questions

in a short Q&A session after each presentation

Trang 30

9 • Peer review As a class, discuss the

review questions

• Students raise their hands to vote for the most

inspiring person and best video presentation

• Then elicit students’ reasons for how they voted

Model project

Content: All three presentations include the information in

exercise 3 (correctly excluding their complete life history)

Each speech is just six sentences long Each one answers

the questions in a logical way, without using many linking

words, to provide brief answers and emphasise the most

interesting points of their story

Note the attention-grabbing direct question in the first

speech: Who inspires me?

Artwork: Photos can demonstrate either what the person

looks like or what they do Sometimes an ‘action’ photo or a

photo of an object is more relevant and interesting

Language: The text uses the pronoun I when expressing

opinions and he/she/they to talk about the inspiring

people The text uses vocabulary from the unit

The present simple is used to talk about who inspires

them and why, the past simple describes what they

did to overcome difficulties in the past and the present

continuous (and present simple) to say what they are

doing now that is inspiring and used to to talk about

things that were true for a while but not any more

FINAL REFLECTION

award themselves each face by eliciting what the

Lesson aims Students learn vocabulary for talking about

skills and abilities Students practise using the present perfect with never and past participle forms to talk about experiences.

Warmer

Elicit or teach the meaning of the terms soft skills (= skills

that relate to a person’s personality and social skills

and ability to communicate) and hard skills (= specific

knowledge and abilities) Give students some examples and ask if they are hard or soft skills:

Hard skills: computer programming, foreign language skills,

mathematical knowledge, speed-reading, web design

Soft skills: teamwork, communication skills, creativity,

problem-solving, organisational skills

Ask students to think of a few more for each skill set

WDYT? What’s the best new skill you’ve ever learnt, and how can you teach

it to others?

Have a class discussion about what new skills the students may have learnt recently and whether they have tried to teach those skills to anyone

Don’t go into detail at this stage – tell students that they will learn more about learning and teaching skills through the unit and will return to the question

at the end of the unit

Skills and abilities

1 Before students start, revise the words sew

(= to make or repair clothes or other items

using a needle and thread) and knit (= to make

something using wool and sticks called knitting needles) Drill the pronunciation of these words

/səʊ/ and /nɪt/ Highlight the silent ‘k’ in knit.

• Check students know the meaning of DIY (= an

abbreviation for ‘do-it-yourself’ – the activity of making or repairing things yourself, especially

in your own home) Elicit some examples,

e.g. putting up a shelf, painting chairs.

• Elicit answers as a class and encourage them

to use contractions, e.g I’ve never ridden a

quad-bike.

Exercise 1

The present perfect with never

• Remind students that the present perfect can only

be used to talk about things someone has done or

never done if there is no need to specify when the action

happened.

• Remind students to avoid double negatives with never:

I haven’t never gone I have never gone / (less common)

I haven’t ever gone…

• Explain that it is also possible to ask questions with

never: Have you never been to the UK? This is usually to

express surprise

Exercise 2

Regular past participles are formed by adding -ed to the infinitive form without to

4 9 First play the audio for students to repeat

• Elicit affirmative answers from students around the class Ask them for more information about their skills and abilities

Extra activity

In pairs, students take turns to ask questions with Can

you/your brother/your mother … (+ skills and abilities from

the box)? They get one point for each question that gets

a Yes, I/he/she can answer and zero points if their partner answers No, I/he/she can’t or I don’t know.

ABCD

Trang 32

• Play the audio for students to do the task

• Elicit other information Jessica gives about the

things she has or hasn’t done

Exercise 5

4: catch fish, do DIY, learn a foreign language, ride a quad-bike

Correct use of ever

in questions:

Have you ever ridden a quad-bike?

• A full negative answer to an ever question usually

contains never:

No, I have never ridden a quad-bike.

but the short answers don’t need ever or never:

Yes, I have ever

No, I have never haven’t

superlatives:

He’s the most talented person I’ve ever met

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

6 • Before the task, ask students to recreate the

diagrams in their notebooks

• Drill the pronunciation of moped /ˈməʊped/

and mountain /ˈmaʊntɪn/ as students often

mispronounce these words

Fast finishers

Ask students to add more words to the diagram

(Suggested answers:write a blog, a book, a novel, an

email …; ride a go-kart, a horse, a bike, a camel …; design a

concept, a program, a graphic …; climb a hill, the stairs …)

Exercise 6

write: computer code climb: a mountain, an indoor climbing wall

ride: a moped, a quad-bike design: an app, (your own) clothes

7 • Before the task, if possible, provide students

with cut-up cards or ask them to write their

sentences on strips of paper

8 • Draw students’ attention to the model sentence

• If your class will benefit, highlight the change

from the present perfect in the example in

exercise 7 to the past simple in the example in

exercise 8 to talk about specific experiences

in the past Use the I have never cards (1–6)

in exercise 1 to practise this further before

students do the task

Where is Sophie from? (Germany)

Which of her three goals did she actually achieve? (She had her first driving lesson last Thursday.)

• Nominate pairs to share their ideas and expand the discussion to the whole class

Exercise 9

She wants to study for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, to go horseback riding and take driving lessons in English

Exercise 10

1 Vloggers want to give a visual insight into what they do They want to make an

attractive video which is easy to understand so that people from around the world, both native and non-native speakers of English, will watch it It is a way

of becoming better known on social media and also earning money from the adverts on a YouTube channel

2 The music is upbeat and optimistic, and matches the visuals and narration

very well The animations and captions help to keep our attention There are attractive images of the three things which she wants to learn The interior and exterior shots are bright and colourful In the exterior shots there is a lot

of green which makes the video more attractive The vlogger speaks directly

to the camera which grabs and keeps our attention She also has very positive and open body language and speaks in a very pleasant and enthusiastic way

Homework

Ask students to write four sentences about things that they have done and have never done using different verbs from exercise 7 More confident students can give more details about what they have done using the past simple

Reading and critical thinking

Lesson aims Students scan online reviews about

activity courses for specific information and then discuss the activities.

Warmer

Have a class discussion about online reviews Use these questions to guide the conversation:

share their own experience of a product or a service.)

(Suggested answers: They are good for opinions and

recommendations but the texts and star ratings could

be invented.)

Online reviews

1 • Write a prompt on the board to help students discuss the questions:

I want to learn how to … I will go to … to learn it.

• Brainstorm some ideas as a class and write them

on the board for students to refer to, e.g a new language, a sport, a musical instrument

• Give a model example, e.g During the next

school holidays, I want to learn how to windsurf

I will go to a windsurf centre and get some lessons.

2 • Remind students that they learnt about skimming in Unit 1 (p14)

• Set a time limit of one minute to encourage students to read quickly and not stop on difficult vocabulary

Exercise 2

driving, cooking, robotics

Remind students that when they scan, they know what they’re looking for They should focus on finding the information they want and should ignore everything else

Elicit situations in which students need to find a particular piece of information quickly within a large amount of text (e.g looking up words in a dictionary, looking for a sports score in a table, looking for a specific service on a train or bus timetable, etc.)

3 • Discuss the Subskill advice in the Student’s Book

as a class Share with students more information from the Subskill box on this page

Reinforcement Remind students to keep their target clearly in mind and scan only for key

words like number ranges, e.g 13–16, and key words such as days, weeks, etc.

5 • Word work Students do the task

Challenge Suggest that students write the meanings of the words and expressions without looking at the definitions

Reinforcement After two minutes, tell students which review each word can be found

in After another minute, give students the first letter of each answer

Fast finishers

Write these additional definitions on the board:

1 relating to the law

2 things you want to do

1 experiment (with) 2 hands-on 3 get behind the wheel

Exercise 6

1 Because she isn’t old enough – you have to be 17 to take your driving test in

the UK

2 quad-biking and go-karting

3 No, he was camping.

4 After getting home, he’s experimented with some new dishes and uploaded

photos of the dishes on Instagram

5 They tested their robots in competitions.

2 How old is Alice?

3 Can Ben make bread/catch fish?

4 Could Ben use the internet/Instagram during the course?

5 What did Cora learn?

6 Did Cora have a good time?

and encourage them to give additional

information in their answers

• Elicit interesting answers from different students

around the class

1 • Understand (LOT) Draw students’

attention to whether each of the model

structures is followed by the gerund or the

infinitive form See the box on Gerunds and

infinitives following another verb for further

information

• Give students two to three minutes to think

back and decide which course they want to

do Ask them to write (at least) three sentences

using the prompts

• Ask some students to share their answers with

the class

2 • Analyse (HOT) Ask students to list two

or three advantages and two or three

disadvantages for each of their options

• Write some gapped sentences on the board and

elicit the missing words:

Challenge Encourage students to use more

complex, informative phrases, e.g a minor

drawback; a significant plus; the pros and cons

are … (Tell students that there is no singular

form of this phrase, the pro and con.)

3 • Evaluate (HOT) Draw students’ attention to

the model sentence In pairs, students explain

and give reasons for their choice

• Read out the three options and ask students to

raise their hands to find out which is the most

popular option Elicit why students didn’t choose

the other options

CRITICAL THINKING

Critical thinking Suggested answers:

1 I’d like to learn to drive I’m not sure about doing a cookery course I don’t

fancy learning robotics

2 Advantages:

I’d learn a new skill/a practical skill.

I’d meet other people/make new friends.

It might help me with my future job.

It’s a new challenge for me./It would take me out of my comfort zone.

Disadvantages:

The courses are too expensive.

The courses are too far from where I live.

I might be homesick if I go away for a week.

3 I’d like to do the driving course because it would be cool to learn to drive before the

legal age! That way I will be able to pass my test as soon as I’m 18

Gerunds and infinitives following another verb

Remind students that when one verb is followed by another, the second verb can be a gerund or an infinitive – the choice depends on the first verb:

• A gerund is used with fancy:

I fancy going to the cinema.

• An infinitive is used with would like:

I’d like to go to the cinema.

• After verbs + prepositions, a gerund is used:

I’m thinking about going to the cinema.

Students will learn more about gerunds and infinitives later in the course

ABCD

Help students think about places they could explore

to find out information on courses, e.g local leisure centres, schools, community centres, museums, etc

Encourage them to scan for specific details about the activities, dates and prices and check out online reviews to find out customers’ opinions

Research

Culture note

On the PGL Learner Driver Course, young drivers learn

driving theory, drive for half an hour per day and receive other practical lessons

Residential Root Camp Cookery Courses camps are in

locations in both the UK and Italy Root Camp calls itself

a ‘field-to-table’ camp because campers spend their time both on the farm and in the kitchen While one half of the group is learning how to cook simple, healthy, cost-effective meals, the other half works outdoors: planting, milking cows, beekeeping, pressing apples, etc

Fire Tech Robotics is the UK’s leading provider of tech

education for young people 9–17 years old The summer technology camp helps young people find out more about computer science and it teaches them to code It also helps them develop soft skills such as project management, problem-solving, communication and collaboration

Ask students to write about three of the courses they found during the Research task, saying who they think would enjoy the course (it could be a specific classmate

or just a description of a type of person, e.g active teenagers) They should say why the course will appeal to the person/people they have chosen

GrammarStudent’s Book p28

Lesson aims Students learn the present perfect with for,

since and How long … ? and practise the present perfect

with just, yet and already.

• Discuss the translation question with students

Exercise 1

1 since 2 for

been vs gone

Remind students that been is used instead of gone when

talking about places you have visited:

I’ve been to the USA twice.

Exercise 2 For: a long time, a week, ages, two years Since: 2017, eight o’clock, this morning, I was 12, Monday Suggested answers:

For: ten minutes, a while Since: yesterday, lunchtime

games, music videos, animations)

• Ask students if they know about other successful teenage app developers

Challenge Encourage students to write follow-up sentences to give more information,

e.g I have lived in my house for a year I moved

here in August.

Fast finishers

Ask students to write two more sentences with for and

since and peer-check their answers.

2 I’ve had this book since last year.

3 Our teacher has taught us English for six months.

4 I’ve studied English for five years.

5 We’ve been at this school for three years.

6 I’ve lived in my house since 2016.

Highlight that How long … ? is often used with

the present perfect tense to ask questions about amounts or periods of time

• Explain that the answer to a How long … ? question will usually include a for or since phrase.

Extra activity

Write these phrases on the board:

have a mobile phone, have an email address, live in this town, have your current hairstyle

Ask students to write questions with How long … ? and the

phrases above, using the present perfect

In pairs, they take turns to ask and answer the questions

just, yet and already

Exercise 6

ABCD

Trang 36

just, yet and already

Explain that just is usually used only with the present

perfect tense and it means a short time ago Elicit a

follow-up sentence to the example in the box, e.g

So now she can drive the car on her own.

Tell students that yet means at any time up to now It

is used when something is expected to happen Elicit

follow-up sentences to the examples in the box, e.g.:

for sentence 2: No, she hasn’t (passed it yet); Yes, she

has for sentence 4: She hasn’t done that part of the

course yet.

Explain that already shows an action has been completed,

possibly sooner than was expected Elicit a follow-up

sentence to the example in the box, e.g. It only took her

two hours!

Exercise 7

1 We’ve already done exercise 6 2 We haven’t solved the puzzle yet.

3 We’ve already learnt the present perfect 4 The bell hasn’t rung yet.

8 • Before the task, elicit the meaning of triplets

(= three children born at the same time to the

same mother)

• To help students solve the task, elicit how long a

half-marathon is (just over 21 km/13 miles)

• Grammar worksheets (basics, standard and higher) ➔

1 They’ve climbed a mountain.

2 She built a robot.

3 I’ve baked some bread.

4 They learnt to swim

past simple: 2, 4

present perfect: 1, 3

Homework

Ask students to write personalised sentences for each

grammar point in sentences 4–6 in exercise 6

Vocabulary and Listening

Lesson aims Students learn collocations for talking

about techniques for learning English and to practise remembering what they hear in the context of a podcast about learning foreign languages.

Culture note

English has become the language of global culture and

international economy (according to the World Economic Forum, about 1.5 billion people worldwide speak the language However, it is the first language of around 400 million) This is because of a combination of the influence of the British Empire and North America in the world However, experts say that translation technology, the spread of mixed languages (e.g Hinglish – Hindi and English) and the rise of China could put the future of English at risk

Confusable words

Highlight that Americans prefer study, run through or review when talking about preparing for exams In British English, people use revise, while review means to examine

a situation or idea to decide if it is satisfactory

2 • Encourage students to create large diagrams in their notebooks and to add further collocations

• Encourage them to use colours to aid visual memory

A podcast

• Elicit what sort of information they would expect to hear if listening to a and then if listening to b (Suggested answers: a: different

accents and languages they may not understand

b: all in one language, various people’s experiences

Subskill: Remembering what you hear

Highlight that taking notes helps with focus and also with memorisation

Remind them that their notes will probably be content words (verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc.) and that these words are usually stressed By contrast, function words are usually unstressed (pronouns, articles, prepositions, auxiliary verbs, etc.) and needn’t be written down

5 • Ask students to read questions 1 and 2 before they listen, so that they know what information they are listening for

Challenge If you want to practise general note-taking, which is a harder skill than listening for specific information, have the students listen and take notes without reading the questions first Then have them look at questions 1 and 2 and see

if the answers are contained in their notes

Exercise 5

1 Listener 1: French, Listener 2: English, Listener 3: Turkish, Listener 4: Mandarin, Listener 5: Spanish

2 Listener 1: an app, follow instructions, record yourself; Listener 2: set

up a study group, learn songs by heart; Listener 3: do an online course, watch video tutorials; Listener 4: write sticky notes; Listener 5: do a

conversation exchange, keep practising

3 were speaking (not an event in progress); speak (time expression indicates past simple) 4 are speaking (we aren’t talking about events in progress);

have spoken (we aren’t talking about events leading

up to, or with consequences, in the present) 5 grew (the past simple doesn’t emphasise that it was an ongoing process); has grown (the action is finished

so the present perfect can’t be used) 6 The other options don’t describe an action that started in the past and but continues to the present 7 since (we use this for indefinite time periods); ago (would go at the end of the time expression) 8 The other options don’t describe a completed action in the past.)

Extra activity

Ask students to think of other contexts in which we might

be asking for information, and who we might be asking (e.g at a station, in the street, in a shopping mall)

4 • Read through the Key phrases as a class Help with pronunciation and intonation, paying attention to the intonation in the questions

Challenge Ask students to think of other phrases that we can use to ask for information

(e.g Can you tell me … / Do you know if …)

Reinforcement Ask students to complete these phrases that we use to ask for information

with their own ideas: I’m looking for … /

Do I need to … / What time is … ?

Exercise 4 Asking for information:

I’m looking for information about … I’ve heard it’s very popular

Do I need to sign up now? I’ve got one more question

Thanks for your help

Giving information:

Have you … before? Just ask if you need any more information

Sounding polite

• Remind students that saying please and thank you

more frequently helps them to sound polite

• In addition, intonation helps show a polite attitude behind a request Flat intonation can sound rude and aggressive

• Drill saying thank you in a way that sounds polite

Encourage them to use a falling tone, but make it a high-pitched one

5 • THINK Ask students to look at the pictures

Writing

Lesson aims Students write a blog about a skill they’ve

learnt using tenses correctly.

Warmer

Elicit what a blog is (= short for web log – a publishing

platform that presents the most recently published

content at the top of the website) In pairs, students

discuss if they read blogs and, if so, which ones

A blog

1 • Elicit the meaning of the blog title Give it a go

(= to try something to see if you like it or can do it)

• Elicit something students have tried doing and/

or tell them about something you have tried

Give it a go is a typical British response to I’m not

sure I’d like it Elicit what students think the text is

going to be about (new skills and experiences)

• Check their answers and elicit the meaning in

this context of craft (= the hands-on process of

making artistic things) and design (= to plan by

making sketches or outlines of artistic work) Ask

students if they like these sorts of activities

Exercise 1 Skills: craft and design How did she learn them: She did a design course, practises a lot, reads other

people’s blogs and watches video tutorials on YouTube Her grandparents taught her to sew and do DIY

accessories (= something you wear with clothes

to give them more style) and patch (= a piece of

cloth used to mend or strengthen a weak point and/or for decoration)

• If the class struggles to complete the task, write the sentence halves from the Answer key in

a jumbled order on the board for students to match to sentence halves 1–6

Where does she get her online inspiration from?

Fast finishers

Ask students to make a list of other types of crafts,

e.g knitting, pottery, model-making, furniture-making,

origami, jewellery-making, woodwork, etc.

Exercise 2

1 she was about 13 2 watches video tutorials on YouTube

3 one of her friends 4 Lots of her friends

5 her brother’s birthday 6 Her grandparents

Subskill: Using tenses correctly

Time expressions are also called ‘signal words’ because they indicate the use of certain tenses Time expressions can be single words, typical word combinations or groups

of words (in most cases adverbials)

Point out to students that if they want to construct a sentence with a time expression, they can mostly rely

on the tense that goes with it and conjugate the verb accordingly However, it is important to know that signal words will not be valid but not in every case

Elicit a few examples of time expressions for the present simple (usually, every year, rarely, etc.), the present perfect

(for five years, since seven o’clock, etc.) and the past simple

(two hours ago, last weekend, etc.)

To reflect on exactly how time expressions can dictate which tense to use, return to the Grammar lesson on p30

3 • Before the task, ask students to read through the Subskill Feed in information from the teacher’s notes above

• After checking answers to the matching activity, discuss the translation question with students Use the question to review how well the students remember and understand the grammar from this unit
