Unit 1 City and village

Activity 2

Objective: to give PP a chance to rehearse their ideas

PP work in pairs and share their ideas. This gives PP a chance to practise expressing their ideas privately before expressing them to the rest of the class. They should give reasons for their views.

Activity 3

Objectives: to practise expressing views and giving reasons; to practise seeing good and bad points in something

Listen to at least one view from every PP and keep a record of how many views are about positive effects of the Games and how many about negative ones. At the end summarise the discussion for PP. Encourage PP to use the language they learned for debates e.g.

Aziza: I think the Olympics are a good thing because sport is fun.

Dilfuza: I agree with Aziza, I think that the Olympics are a good thing too. As she says they are exciting and they help towns and cities to build new sports centres.
