Ask some questions to check understanding. Part B Teaching procedures 1. Before doing Part B, review adjectives used to describe characteristics. Ask students to describe their classmates. 2.

Tell students to work in pairs to complete Part C1. When students have completed all the answers, ask them to raise their hands. The first pair to complete the exercise correctly is the winner. 2. After students have finished, give the correct answer to each question. Highlight where students can find the answers in the passage. This will help them when correcting their own mistakes and provide them with a better understanding of where they went wrong. 3. For stronger classes, ask students to correct the incorrect sentences. 4. Review key vocabulary learnt in the reading passage. Ask more able students to describe their partners using these adjectives. 5. Ask students to do Part C2 on their own and check their answers with their partners. Ask students to refer to the reading passage on page 4 and 5. If students have different answers, ask them to discuss the answers. Part D Teaching procedures 1. For weaker classes, write a list of characteristics on the board for students’ reference 2. Ask less able students to pick five characteristics that describe themselves and write them in the blanks in part D1. Tell more able students that they can also use characteristics that are not listed on the board. Tell less able students to refer to the reading passage on pages 4 and 5 if they need help with ideas. 3. Now, ask students to read the description of their star sign on pages 4 and 5. Ask them to write whether the characteristics listed under their star sign match the characteristics they have listed. 4. Ask all those who think their characteristics match their star sign to raise their hands. Then ask all those whose characteristics do not match to raise their hands. 5. Do a class survey. Ask students whether they believe in star signs. Count how many say `yes’ and how many say `no’. Write the numbers on the board.

Many students feel it is difficult to remember new words when they begin to study English. Now I will give you some advice.

Do not waste time in learning the word list. It is not a good way to remember new words. The best way to learn new words is through listening. You can find radio programmes or TV programmes. And listen to them carefully. When you listen to the conversations, you will learn the pronunciation easily. Of course, it is not enough; you have to remember their spellings.

Some people find that they can learn the names of everyday objects such as box, bottle, cup, desk and so on, in the following way. They write the names of things on paper, and then they read the words on the paper. Try this and see if this way works for you. If it does not work, then go on to practise listening to the conversations.
