Extension activity: vocabulary quiz
Divide the class into teams. Teams take turns to choose a number from 1 to 15. 
Ask the team the question for that number, and give them five seconds to answer. 
The answers are given below in brackets. If they answer correctly, give the team a 
point. The next team may choose the same question number, if it was answered 
incorrectly, or a different one. The team with the most points at the end is the 
winner. At the end ask about the main differences between the two emails. There 
will be more analysis in Exercise 6e.
