Exercise 1

• Students work in pairs to match the information with the details.

• I check answers with the class, and model and drill pronunciation of the numbers.

• I point out that we say phone numbers as individual numbers (7-5-2-4 NOT 75-24), and we say oh for zero. If two successive numbers are the same, in British English the word double is used (0-7-7-0 = oh-double seven-oh).

• I point out that there are two ways of saying dates: August the eighteenth or the eighteenth of August.

• I point out that for prices we can say nine pounds fifty or just nine fifty.

ANSWERS: 1 c 2 b 3 d 4 e 5 a

• Students listen and decide which numbers they hear.

ANSWERS: 07702 90453, 68 Long Road, £9.50, 18.40

• I refer students to the message and allow them time to read it.

Additional information

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Health and safety check

Teacher should circulate the theme constantly offering support to for less able students and encouraging stronger students to write more complex, abstract thoughts.

For more able students: can be encouraged to use more difficult writing structures, vocabulary etc. Weaker students can be supported by the teacher when writing, and the complexity of the tasks could be reduced or adapted.

Group, peer, individual assessment will use by formative assessment and descriptor

I will remind them that they use hobbies and leisure for a healthy lifestyle.
