Ask students to tell you the dates of 

any holidays / festivals that they celebrate in their country. 

Alternatively, go round the class asking them to give you a 

date of, e.g. their birthday or the date they started / will finish 

their job or course. This will help you determine if they are 

confident saying dates in English. If students need more help, 

ask them to work through exercise 10 in the 

Grammar and 

practice

 section (page 119 in the Student’s Book, answers on 

page 116 in this book).

Play the dialogues about national festivals and holidays. Ask 

students to write down the dates. You may wish to pause 

the recording after each date to give students time to write it 

down. When you have finished, let students compare their 

answers with a partner in order to complete any missing 

information and check their dates. Play the recording again 

and ask them to note down what the festival is and what it 

celebrates. Check answers with the whole class.
