Trang 4Listening tasks
The Trinity Grades 1 and 2 exams have no formal listening test with recordings and written responses It isimportant that you point out to learners that they don’t need to worry too much about the listening tasks forthis reason However, success in the interview does depend on listening carefully to the examiner andresponding appropriately
Take account of the low level of your learners and:
– if there is a picture to illustrate the topic, elicit information which will help them prepare for what they willlisten to
– tell students what kind of conversation they will hear, e.g two children speaking or an examiner speaking
to a candidate
– play each audio several times if necessary, stopping the audio during the task if needed
– follow up the listening with a drill in order to practise the structures and pronunciation
Brainstorming vocabulary and ideas
Brainstorming is a good way to introduce an activity, and is suggested in this TB because:
– it helps to get learners focussed on the topic of the lesson
– it helps learners ‘revive’ vocabulary that they know, but haven’t used recently
– it gives you a chance to see what your learners know and what knowledge gaps exist
Remember that this book is mainly for revisions of language so:
– begin each new topic with closed books and try to elicit related vocabulary from learners
– give them a specified time limit to work in pairs or groups
– students tell you their words and you put them on the board in columns or mind maps or under specificheadings/categories
– then students open books and do the first vocabulary activity as consolidation
Use of the board
Board prompts are good at this level to support students during speaking tasks and can lessen the ‘memoryload’ required of students so that they can concentrate on communicating Prompts can be useful
vocabulary items for the task, or reminders of the structures that learners should be using or pronunciationwork As the students master the language the teacher can rub off some of the prompts so that studentscommit the language to memory See the shaded boxes for examples of board work
Games
Games provide some light relief and fun, but also a genuine context in which to practise language TheTeacher’s Book makes a number of suggestions for games in the units:
– guessing games, such as I-spy, pictionary, miming
– memory games, such as Kim’s game (covering a picture and remembering what’s there)
– team games, such as sorting races (pairs or teams sort vocabulary items into groups as quickly as
possible)
– knock-out games, such as ‘Simon Says’
Methodology notes
Trang 5Methodology notes
Modelling
It is always a good idea to model each task so that everyone understands what they have to do Choose one
of the most able learners in the group to work through a few examples with you It is recommended that you
do this especially for the communication activities that come at the end of each unit
Drills
Regular language drilling helps students learn the patterns of new structures and is a valuable technique forimproving pronunciation A good drill can also liven up a class whose attention or energy is flagging halfway through a long lesson There are a variety of drills you can use:
– prompt and response drills (e.g question and answer) − you can give the prompt, or you can divide theclass into two groups who respond to each other
– substitution drills, using flash cards or prompts written on the board
– choral drills (all class together) or individual drills (teacher points to learners to respond)
– drills with clapping or chants with a strong rhythm (good for word or sentence stress)
Trinity Takeaway
At the end of each unit, the Trinity Takeaway sections provide the students with useful examiner/candidate
language for the exam It’s important that you point out to learners that they mustn’t memorise the dialogues, but use them as examples of the type of conversation they will have with the examiner
mini-There is also a section a the end of the book with further examples of examiner/candidate language, whichare recorded
After listening, you can:
– ask students to read the mini-dialogues out loud to practise question/answer intonation
– ask students to write similar mini-dialogues using different vocabulary from the unit

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
You could introduce this with a whole class activity
to see how many countries learners can name in
English Ask learners simply to call out the ones
they know, while you write them on the board
Then let learners do 1 a) in pairs before getting
feedback and checking answers with the whole
class As you listen to the students focus on
pronunciation and word stress

Give learners time to match the words andnumbers Then play the audio for them to check It
is a good idea to drill these numbers in one ormore of the following ways:
– from 1 to 10 and back from 10 to 1 – round the class, each learner saying the nextnumber
– in teams, team A says the odd numbers (1, 3,5 ), team B the even numbers (2, 4, 6 )– clapping and then stopping on a number – ask a learner what the next number is
1 one / 2 two / 3 three / 4 four / 5 five / 6 six /

Start by choosing one or two learners to do this
with you while the rest watch, then get everyone
to work in pairs for a few minutes
Open answers
4apage 7
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
These are all typical things that the examiner
might say or ask Point out to learners that they
can expect to hear these in the first few moments
of the interview Give learners a few minutes to do
the matching activity alone, and then ask them to
compare with their partner Finally, play the audio
for them to check
Play the audio again, but pause to give learners
time to respond First with open books, then with
closed books You can do this as a whole class drill,
or pick out individuals to answer Follow up by
getting pairs to interview each other: Student A
plays the interview and reads out the questions
from page 7; Student B responds with books
Begin by asking learners some basic questions just
to focus their attention For example, ‘How manyboys/girls are there?’ ‘Is this a boy/girl?’ Now asklearners how old they think each of the childrenare Ask them to work in pairs to match the ageswith the photos Finally, play the audio so thatthey can check what they predicted against whatthey hear
to check Finally, go through the answers together
1 he / 2 He / 3 you / 4 I / 5 they / 6 They / 7 you /
a good idea to model the task yourself by choosingone of the stronger learners in the class to do itwith you Finish with a whole class activity: get apair of learners to ask each other about one of thephotos while the rest of the class listen Then asklearners which photo the pair was talking about.You could also ask learners to bring in photos offriends and family and get learners to ask eachother about them using the structures just practised.Open answers

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
The aim here is to review and practise present
simple The tables are for learners to refer to, but
you could ask them to close their books and do a
simple Q&A drill to practise the full form:
T: I or Group A: I
Class: am Group B: am
T: You
Class: are
Then focus on the contracted short forms by
asking, ‘Do we say, ‘I am ten’? Then elicit from
learners what the short form is that we normally
use when speaking Now practise these short
forms with a similar Q&A drill
1 she’s / 2 you / 3 are / 4 I / 5 is not / 6 aren’t
b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Ask learners to open their books and complete the
gaps individually – then to compare with a partner
Finally, go through the answers together Finish off
by drilling the answers – make sure that learners
really are using the contracted forms
1 I’m nine / 2 She’s from France / 3 We aren’t from
Hong Kong / 4 My name isn’t Maria It’s Mary /
5 My name isn’t John / 6 They aren’t Italian /
7 I’m fine, thanks / 8 He’s from India.
Trang 9The aim here is to revise basic classroom vocabulary
of the kind that is often used in the exam Note
that examiners may use these alternatives to the
word lists in the exercise:
eraser = rubber
school bag = bag
student = learner / pupil
It is a good idea to make learners aware of these
alternatives and to learn them as passive
vocabulary Learners can do this activity in pairs
Then check answers with the whole class You
could practise the items by simply pointing them
out in the class room and getting learners to shout
out the name of what you’re pointing to Also, ask
learners to tell you what they have in their school
bag / pencil case
Alternatively, play a simple game such as I-spy:
Student A: I-spy something beginning with N.
Student B: Notebook?
Student A: Right.
Student B: I-spy something beginning with
1 teacher / 2 cupboard / 3 desk / 4 book / 5 chair /
6 notebook / 7 student / 8 pencil case / 9 pencil /
10 school bag / 11 dictionary / 12 pen / 13 ruler /
14 eraser / 15 sharpener / 16 calculator

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Vocabulary grouping activities like this one are
good ways for learners to ‘process’ vocabulary
which will in turn help them to remember words

with a partner before playing the audio for
learners to check their answers Give learners time
to ask any questions they may have about the
grouping before playing the audio again This

time, use the audio to drill the vocabulary items –pause after each word for choral or individualrepetition Focus on correct pronunciation, andwatch out in particular for misplaced word stress
in multi–syllable words such as ‘calculator’ and
‘dictionary’
Follow up by asking learners to think of two morecategories that could be used to organise thesewords For example:
Things larger/smaller than a book Things madefrom wood / plastic / metal
You could also follow up with pronunciation work:ask learners to group words according to thenumber of syllables they have Then ask themwhere the stressed syllable usually is Point outthat the stress is most often on the first syllable, forexample:
notebook calculator student dictionary
Practise this with suitable pronunciation drills
c
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
This aims to revise usage of the indefinite articlea/an and to practise a question and answer formatthat is very common in the exam:
Examiner: What’s this? Candidate: It’s a/an
First, bring students’ attention to the Focus box onpage 10 Then do some simple practice of this with
a drill:
Teacher: Book Teacher: Eraser.
Learners: A book Learners: An eraser.
Focus on pronunciation You need to point out tolearners that the article an becomes linked or
joined to the noun that follows An eraser for example becomes aneraser in connected speech.

studentteacher
Trang 101 Now use a similar drill, but introduce the whole
phrase:
Teacher: What’s this? Teacher: What’s this?
Learners: A book Learners: An eraser.
At this point you don’t need to expect fuller
answers, such as ‘It’s a ’ Also, make sure you’re
pointing out single items, as the focus here is on
the article a/an Now ask learners to work in pairs
and practise the same Q&A dialogue based on
classroom objects Monitor and check for errors in
use of articles or pronunciation

2apage 11
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
This is simply revision of numbers 11 to 20
Students should already be familiar with these, but
if not then you may want to write the numbers on
the board before playing the audio It’s a good
idea to drill these numbers in one or more of the
following ways:
– From 11 to 20 and back from 20 to 11
– Round the class, each learner saying the next
number
– In teams, team A says the odd numbers, team B
the even numbers
1 twelve / 2 thirteen / 3 fourteen / 4 fifteen /
5 sixteen / 6 seventeen / 7 eighteen / 8 nineteen
b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
The aim here is to revise the rules for plural nouns
Although spelling is not important for the exam –
since there is no writing component – these
spelling rules reflect the pronunciation of the
three categories of plural noun Bring learners’
attention to the focus box which gives examples
and rules for the three main categories of noun
Check learners understanding by writing one
example of each category on the board and asking
them to give you the plural Examples could be:
– fox, church, box, brush, glass
– story, party (point out that there is a consonant
to repeat what they hear
1 thirteen watches / 2 fifteen classes / 3 twelve
pencils / 4 sixteen boys / 5 fourteen dictionaries
c
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
The emphasis here is on the pronunciation of theplural affixes to nouns You need first to model thethree endings for students Write the phonemicsymbols as heading on the board and use theexample words you wrote on the board earlier:
Ask learners to repeat the words after you, givingspecial emphasis to the plural ending Now asklearners how they would pronounce dogs Showthem that, although it has the same plural ending
as cats, it is pronounced differently Now asklearners to do the sorting exercise on their own.Encourage them to say the words to themselves inorder to make them more aware of how theendings sound Finally, play the audio to let themcheck their answers Play once again and asklearners to repeat what they hear

The focus here is revision of the determiners this
and these and the pronouns it and they Again, the
example dialogues in the speech bubbles are
typical question and answer formats that occur in
the interview, and learners need to be familiar
with them Ask learners to look at the example
dialogues and then write this on the board:
Elicit from learners how to complete the rules (this /
it for one thing, these / they for many things).
Make sure that learners can distinguish between
this [short sound /i/] and these [long sounds /i/]
Some learners have difficulties both receptively
and productively with these sounds Tell learners
to look at the shape of your mouth as you say the
sounds Now demonstrate the activity yourself
with another learner in the class Then ask learners
to do the activity in pairs As you monitor, make
sure that learners are using a variety of singular
and plural forms Listen out for grammatical
problems such as subject verb agreement, but also
We use this / it for
We use these / they for

ask learners What are these? / What’s this? Then
model the questions that learners need to use for
this activity You could do a whole class drill of the
questions, emphasising the difference between this
/i/ and these /i/ Once again, choose a learner from
the group and demonstrate the task Then organise
the class into pairs Make sure they take turns
asking and answering
Give learners a few moments to do this alone andthen check with a partner before listening to theaudio to check their answers

book / 4 Point to the door / 5 Go to the window /
6 Touch your nose / 7 Stand up / 8 Show me your
ears / 9 Sit down.
Follow up: Playing the children’s game ‘Simon says ’
In this game, learners should only follow orders if
the speaker begins with ‘Simon says ’ If someone
follows an order without the speaker saying
‘Simon says ’ then they are out of the game Thelast player remaining wins the game Learners cantake turns at being the speaker

Trang 18This practises common adjectives that learners
ought to know for the exam Get learners to do
this together with a partner before checking
altogether Be ready to explain why ‘short’ is listed
twice i.e that it has two meanings here
1 f / 2 c (e) / 3 d / 4 c (e) / 5 b / 6 a
b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Before they listen, ask learners (working in pairs) to
match one word from the list of adjectives in a) to
each of the pictures Check to see which words
learners have used – this will also be a good
concept check to see if learners understand these
words Then play the audio twice so that learners
can match the descriptions with the pictures
1 E / 2 D / 3 B / 4 F / 5 A / 6 H / 7 G / 8 C
c
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
It’s useful to show the position of the tip of the
tongue when making each of these sounds:
t /t/ – the tip of the tongue is touching the roof of
the mouth just behind your front teeth
th /ð/ – the tip is just protruding between the
upper and lower teeth
Demonstrate and get students to try it out
themselves
See the section on drills at the beginning of the
Teacher’s Book for further ideas on how to practise
these sounds
2apage 22
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
These are all questions or orders that could come
up during the interview Remember that they will
now be asked to produce questions or imperative
forms like this, but must understand them and
respond appropriately Give learners five minutes
to do this alone before playing the audio to check

Trang 20With closed books, ask learners to name as many
animals as they can in English Then with open
books, can they name the animals shown? Ask how
many of each animal are shown – this will lead into
the idea of plural forms, then get learners to try the
exercise Point out the focus box information about
irregular plurals Can they remember any other
irregular plurals (e.g foot-feet)?
1 a dog / 2 fish / 3 bird / 4 cats / 5 mice / 6 a rabbit
b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
These are typical exam style questions The focus is
on plural versus singular forms Ask learners which
words in the word pool show ‘one’ and which
words show ‘more than one’ Then get learners to
complete and check Finally, ask learners to try and
memorise the dialogue
1 this / 2 these / 3 They’re / 4 isn’t / 5 Are / 6 they

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
First model with a stronger learner, then get the
rest of the class to do the same Listen out for
correct pronunciation of this / these.

This is just a fun activity to practise question formsand body language You could begin by drawing asimilar imaginary animal on the board and askingthe whole class to guess which animals it is madefrom – don’t worry about any lack of artistic skills!After the pair work, get learners to draw their ownimaginary beasts and invite them to talk in smallgroups about what their drawings
4aCommunication Task , page 27 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Draw learners’ attention to the photos of the fishand ask them simple focus questions such as ‘Howmany fish are there?’ ‘What colour is this fish?’ ‘Is itblue and yellow?’ etc Tell learners that they aregoing to hear someone talking about the fish andthat they must circle the correct information Givethem a minute to read all the information first, andthen play the audio You may need to play theaudio two or three times
FISH A Name: Bob From: China Age: two FISH B
Name: Mary From: Africa Age: seven FISH C
Name: Angela From: Brazil Age: six FISH D
Name: Squeak From: Japan Age: twelve

Trang 21With closed books, ask learners to call out the
English words for any animals they can remember
(farm or otherwise) while you write them on the
board Now ask learners which of the animals they
called out can be found on a farm Finally, get
learners to open their books and do the matching
exercise on page 28 Give them 2 or 3 minutes to
work alone before going through the answers
altogether You could drill the words so that
learners improve their pronunciation
Pronunciation problems often occur with the
vowel sounds of the following: goat, chick, sheep.
For further practice, ask learners to ask each other
what their favourite animal is Model the question
by asking a learner in the class:
A: What are your favourite animals?
B: My favourite animals are horses and lambs
What are your favourite animals?
A duck / B goose / C cow / D chick / E donkey /
F hen / G goat / H horse / I lamb / J sheep
b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
First get learners to work individually and try to
match the adjectives in the box with the animals in
the pictures Go through this together Then divide
the class into pairs in order to do the dialogue Get
them first to read the example dialogue in the
bubbles, then you demonstrate with a learner from
the class and finally give learners five minutes
working in pairs
Open answers
c
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
This is a simple memory game Demonstrate by
asking all the learners to close their books and then
you ask them a few questions about the photos
Remember that learners don’t have to produce
questions in the exam, so you can write prompts
on the board for them to use in this activity:
sh – lips pursed and pushed forward
s – lips wide and pulled back
It can be useful to get students to exercise thesounds and lip shapes in an exaggerated form,slowly becoming more natural
Another classic tongue twister to practise thesesounds is ‘She sells sea shells on the sea shore’
2apage 29 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
This activity simply provides practice for thelanguage they need to understand and use Firstask learners to look at the photo Ask simplequestions along these lines: Is this a donkey? Is itgrey? How many horses are there?

Trang 23If possible the teacher should bring a photo of
his/her family or a picture of a famous family into
the lesson to set the context of family Then show
learners the family tree on page 30 Show them Li
and ask, ‘What’s her name?’ ‘How old is she?’ Say
that this is her family and ask them to match the
words on the left to the photos – in relation to Li
Learners can do this in pairs if you prefer You
could follow up by asking learners to bring photos
of family members in to talk about, like this:
Student A: Who’s this?
Student B: This is my mum
1 A and B / 2 B / 3 A / 4 C / 5 E / 6 D / 7 F / 8 G
b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Tell learners that they are going to hear Li talking
about her family and that they will make notes
under each photo of names and ages This is
simply an activity to practise the kind of language
they will need to use in the exam with a native
speaker to listen to Play the audio a couple of
times and pause where necessary to give learners
time to make notes
A Jimmy, 38 / B Lia, 34 / C Chen, 10 / D Yan Yan (no
age given) / E Yul (no age given) / F Jing (no age
given) / G Ho (no age given)

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
First of all, revise numbers over 20 by going round
the room and asking each learner to say the next
number – doing this up to 40 should be sufficient
Then model the two numbers in the table – twenty
and twenty two Ask learners how many syllables
ANSWERS
ANSWERS
there are Show them that the stressed syllablesare marked with the large boxes (at the top of thetable) then ask them to organise the numbers intothe two groups according to their stress pattern.Learners should do this alone – encourage them tosay the numbers to themselves so that they hearthe pattern – before checking altogether with theaudio
Follow up with a simple drill to practise thesepatterns Simply count from 20 to 100 in steps offive: 20, 25, 30, 35 etc Get the whole group to callout the numbers together while you mark therhythm on the whiteboard

Trang 242 b
SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Learners should try to complete the table alone and
then compare with a partner Finally go through the
answers together with the whole group
Learners don’t need to be able to make questions
with ‘have got’ for the exam, but they do need to
understand such questions and be able to
respond appropriately You could do a drill to
practise ‘Yes, I have’ and ‘No, I haven’t’ responses:
Make two flash cards, one with a ✓ and one with
a ✗ When learners see the first, they should give a
positive answer, when they see the second they
should give a negative answer Ask the class
questions with ‘have’, they should respond chorally
according to the flash card you show For example:
Teacher: Have you got a dog? (show ✗)
Students: No, I haven’t.
1 have got (’ve got) / 2 have not got (haven’t got) /
3 hasn’t got

SUGGESTED PROCEDURE:
Introduce this task by asking learners to look at the
four family trees Ask questions like, ‘How many
families are there?’ Point to the named person and
say, ‘What’s his/her name?’ Then describe one of
the families and ask learner to guess which family
you are describing Then organise the group into
pairs First Student A describes and B guesses, then
they reverse roles Remember that learners don’t
have to ask each other questions, but they should
give detailed descriptions of the families so that it
is clear which one they are describing
‘have / haven’t got’
