2. Interactive blank-fill exercise:
this exercise highlights a variety of points: in some 
cases it checks vocabulary, in others word endings, in others it is spelling that is tested. 
 
3. Going further:
What can your students tell you about Mark Twain? Who was he? 
When did he live? What are his most famous works? Have students do a short research 
project on Twain as homework. Perhaps they could also read the Jumping Frog of 
Calaveras County... though they may find this difficult. 
Here is the text of Mark Twain's 

 
short story
 . Warning: Twain's story, though short, 
uses a lot of transliterated spoken English, will be hard reading for twenty-first century 
students who do not have a very good level of English.
 


4. Language point - some examples of unusual word order
First paragraph:
Up in the Gold Country of California lies the historic little town 
. Note 
the unusual word order here. This inversion of subject and verb is used for style, and is 
not wrong, even if it is unusual. This structure is possible with some verbs of state and 
in this case is a contraction of "
Up in the Gold Country of California 
there
 lies the 
historic little town...
" Among the few other verbs that can be used with subject-verb 
inversion after 
there
, are
 be, stand, grow, appear
, seem
 
, though we do not usually 
find 
seem
and 
be
in the inverted structure without 
there

Other examples:
In the garden grew a pear tree. 
On top of the hill stands a large 
castle.
