Activity 1
Objective: to practise using the Wordlist
Ask PP to find the new words in the Wordlist and write their mother tongue translations.
Activities 2a and 2b
Objective: to give further practice in interpreting and talking about adverts and slogans
Ask PP to work in pairs. They should look at the three slogans for fruit juice and discuss whether or not they can be believed. Then they can think of other well known adverts on TV or hoardings and discuss them in the same way. When pairs have finished ask some to give you examples of adverts and their opinion of them.
Activities 3a and 3b
Objective: to practise reading for gist
Make sure PP understand the questions in 3a and 3b before they read the texts. Ask some PP for their answers when they have finished reading.
Activity 3c
Objective: to reinforce understanding of the text
Ask pairs to look again at the fruit juice adverts in Activity 2a and to consider them in the light of the Advertising Code they have just read about. Then they should try to rewrite them to make them pass the code.
e.g. 1 One of the best juices in Uzbekistan; 2 Probably the best juice in the world; 3 One of the best!
Activity 4a
Objectives: to practise translating a structure; to prepare for the next activity
Ask PP to read Grammar Reference 14 at first. Then they can try to translate the two sentences into their mother tongue.
Activity 4b
Objective: to give freer practice in talking about advertising
Groups can discuss the questions using the words in the cloud to help them. Ask them to think about what adverts show visually as well as the words they use. As they discuss you should monitor, prompt and note common errors in the usual way.
