Teaching procedures

4. For stronger classes, tell students to cover the adjectives on the right and work on their own to write the sentences for Part B. Remind them that they need to rearrange the order of the words, and choose a proper adjective for each sentence. For weaker classes, students can use the adjectives on the right to form sentences. Encourage more able students to write the sentences with their own adjectives. Accept any sensible answers.

3. Ask three different students to read the sentences in the grammar table at the top of page 10. Encourage students to ask questions if they are unsure of the meaning.

2. Explain the difference between the structure in Part A and the structure in Part B. In part A, students learn to express what they think about someone else’s actions. In Part B, students learn to express what they think about a person’s personality and abilities.
