Activity 4c Read and answer the question.  5 min
Objective: to practise reading for gist 
Ask the pupils to read dialogue silently. Then ask them to answer the question: Do these 
children live in Uzbekistan? 
Suggestion for teachers to make a weather board: 
Prepare a piece of cardboard and cover it with felt – you are going to pin this to the wall. If 
you can, try and get blue felt (to represent the sky). Write at the top in large letters, “What‟s the 
weather today?” Below write “Today it‟s”. Arrange the weather pictures around the edge of the 
board or attach a plastic folder at its bottom to keep the weather cards in. Then put the board on the 
wall of your classroom. 
Each lesson, the pupils have to take out the cards which best describe the weather and pin 
them to the board. In addition: the board could also have days of the week cards, months of the year 
cards, date cards, etc. which the pupils pin to the board each class. It is a really nice classroom 
resource.
