Activity 1
Objective: to practise using telephone language
PP work in pairs and sit back to back so they cannot see their partner's face (explain to them that we never see the other speaker's face in a real telephone conversation). As the pairs make their calls, walk around the class listening and prompting where necessary. Try not to interrupt the conversations too much but give PP a chance to try out the new language.
Suggestion: When most pairs have completed the four conversations ask one or two stronger pairs to 'perform' for the class.
Activity 2a
Objective: to practise listening for the main idea
Play the tape. PP listen and answer the question.
