Language Notes
In English speaking countries, the 24-hour clock is only used for travel. So they say ‘Five twenty in the morning’ and write 5.20 a.m. For the afternoon they write 5.20 p.m. A.M is Latin for ante meridiem and p.m. for post meridiem (before midday, after midday). Both ways are possible
a.m. or am, pm or p.m. You can say six o’clock or six am and six pm.

Objective: to practise the new vocabulary
STEP 1: Ask the pupils to draw 3 blank clocks.
STEP 2: The pupils work in pairs. Pupil A asks Pupil B: What time is it? Pupil B says any time, e.g. It’s half past four in the morning, which Pupil A draws on one of the blank clocks. Then Pupil B checks if Pupil A has drawn the time correctly. Then Pupil B asks the question from Pupil A, etc. The activity goes on until all the blank clocks are completed.
Activity 4a Look and answer. 5 min
Objective: to give further practice in talking about time
STEP 1: First ask your pupils to look at the Remember Box. Remind them when to use the prepositions “at” and “in”.
STEP 2: Then, as in the DVD, the pupils look at the picture, ask and answer.
Culture Notes
Explain that it is an English timetable and that children in English schools do not have breaks between the lessons, but there is a coffee break
(usually at about 11 o’clock) and a long break for lunch (school lasts all day). In British schools, the teachers move around from class to class, not the pupils. This means the process of ending one lesson and starting another is very quick that’s why there are no breaks between lessons.
