6 Write short answers.
Read the example with the children. Remind them if 
• 
necessary how to form a short answer (they should look 
for the appropriate auxiliary verb in the question).
Let the children ask and answer in pairs, taking turns to 
• 
ask the questions. They should use the text to help them, 
and make sure they give the correct short answer.
The children then work individually to write their answers.
• 
Check their answers as a class by asking individuals to ask 
• 
and answer the questions.

7 Discuss these questions with a partner or with 
your class.
Ask the children to read and discuss the questions in pairs,

using as much English as possible. In a weaker class, you 
may prefer to discuss them as a class.
If the children are discussing the questions in pairs, when 
• 
they have finished, ask each pair to tell the class about one 
interesting thing that they have discussed.
