In this task, students should focus on understanding the vocabulary in the context of the story.

Use this task as a way to activate students’ prior knowledge and get them thinking about the story’s themes. Encourage them to take brief notes in bullet points rather than writing full sentences. Have them share their thoughts with a partner or the class, emphasizing the use of keywords and the vocabulary they already know. The focus here should be on fluency rather than correctness. You might also model how to brainstorm keywords based on your own experiences.

Guide students to take their time when answering comprehension questions. Have them return to the text to find evidence for their answers and encourage them to underline or highlight parts of the story that support their responses. This will help develop their reading comprehension skills and critical thinking. Have them focus on using vocabulary from the story in their answers, which will reinforce their learning of new words.

For this task, emphasize the importance of note-taking. Ask students to create a list of bullet points that outline the key events of the story. Encourage them to use as much vocabulary from the lesson as possible. Stress that they should avoid reading a prepared script—this task is about practicing fluency. Let students retell the story to a partner or small group, providing feedback on their use of vocabulary and their ability to express the key points of the story.

Before students begin, give them time to reflect and take notes in bullet points, writing down keywords rather than full answers. Focus on helping them connect the story to their personal experiences. Encourage them to practice answering the questions without stopping for a few minutes. Model how to use new vocabulary and sentence structures to make their answers sound more natural. You might also ask follow-up questions to prompt deeper thinking.

Encourage students to ask a range of questions, from simple to more complex. Review how to form object questions, subject questions, modal verb questions, auxiliary verb questions, and ‘to be’ questions. Ask students to think of questions that encourage discussion and deeper analysis of the story’s themes. Have students practice asking and answering these questions with a partner or in small groups. Emphasize that the focus should be on developing their questioning and explanation skills, rather than just getting quick answers.

You can review some of the key vocabulary as a class, and ask students why they chose specific matches. Use this as a chance to reinforce understanding of word forms and meanings.

When reviewing this task, focus on the importance of using context to determine the correct word form (e.g., verb, noun, adjective). Discuss why certain words fit the blanks.

Encourage students to focus on both the correct phrase and the grammatical structure. Have them pay attention to verb tenses and sentence structure when completing the sentences.

Emphasize the importance of note-taking here. Encourage students to create a brief outline of their story, using bullet points to organize their thoughts and vocabulary from the lesson. Remind them to focus on fluency, rather than reading a pre-prepared script. Model how to use prompts to create a logical and engaging narrative. Have students practice their storytelling with partners or in small groups.

Guide students to focus on practical word forms that are commonly used in real-life contexts. Encourage them to use online tools like WordHippo, but remind them to be selective and focus on useful forms. After they’ve attempted to fill in the table, review the answer key together. Explain that they’ll need these words for Vocabulary Task 3.2, so ensuring accuracy now is important.

Before students begin, remind them to review their answers from Vocabulary Task 3.1. This task reinforces the vocabulary they’ve learned, so encourage them to pay attention to both the meaning and the grammatical tense or structure needed to complete the sentence correctly. Have them read their completed sentences aloud to ensure the sentence sounds natural and fits the context. Provide feedback on grammar and vocabulary use.

Encourage students to form complete answers using full sentences. Remind them to incorporate the new vocabulary and sentence structures from the lesson. This is a great opportunity to focus on sentence fluency.

Emphasize that this task is about practicing clear, detailed explanations, not just helping the other person guess the word. Encourage students to think about how they would explain a word in everyday communication if they didn’t know the exact word. Remind them to focus on describing the word’s function, context, and use real-life examples. Practicing detailed explanations will help students improve their communication skills when they don’t know the right word.

Encourage students to be creative but also practical in how they use the 10 words. The goal is to make the story engaging while using the vocabulary naturally. Ask students to outline their stories in bullet points before they start writing, and remind them to avoid simply inserting words into random sentences. Have them share their stories with a partner or the class for feedback.

Remind students that this task focuses on the phrases with prepositions and adverbs from Story Task 1.

Encourage students to focus on both the correct phrase and the grammatical structure. Have them pay attention to verb tenses and sentence structure when completing the sentences.
