Trang 2Teacher Notes
This answer key is deliberately kept concise since the idea of these Conversation Corners
is to talk rather informally and share information, not being given all the information by the teacher BTW, the conversation should focus more on expressing opinions than giving correct answers
Students could be given the opportunity to do some research on the Internet to find more information and answers to the questions
Also, students could prepare questions they were unable to answer and give a short
presentation during the next lesson
Have a dictionary at hand (or an Internet connection) if possible so students can look up new vocabulary
Missing info: a = name of animal; b = where it lives; c = what it eats; d = see boxes.
The teacher can give extra information if students are completely stuck.
