Objectives

14. Tell students that they need to write what Master Zhang says will happen to Millie under the heading ‘Master Zhang’s predictions’. For weaker classes, ask students to use the information on page 14 to complete the column on the right. For stronger classes, play the recording for Part A2 a third time and ask students to complete the column on the right.

13. Play the recording again, stopping after each answer for less able students to write the answers if necessary.

12. Now, ask students to read the incomplete notes under “Amy’s predictions’. Explain that they have to complete Amy’s mistakes by listening to the recording.

11. Play the recording for Part A3 once. Tell students not to write anything, but to listen to the recording the first time it is played.

10. Ask students to read one answer each. Check for mistakes and mispronunciation. For weaker classed, it is useful to play the recording again once students have completed the exercise. This consolidates what students have learnt and gives them a sense of achievement.

9. Tell students to look at their answers. If they still have some gaps, ask them to read the advertisement again at the top of the page in case they have missed something. Play the recording once more without stopping.

8. If necessary, play the recording again, stopping after each answer or sentence so that students have time to fill in their answers.

7. Play the recording once without stopping.
