  Before they do the exercise, check that students know the 

word 

inventory

 (a list giving details of all the things in a place 

like a stockroom or an apartment).

With lower-level groups, before doing the exercise ask 

students to scan the sentence halves and identify any useful 

collocations, e.g. 

to pay rent

, 

to sign a contract

,

 to register 

with a doctor

,

 medical insurance

,

 broadband access

. 

After students have matched the sentence halves individually 

or with a partner, check their answers quickly.
