Lesson 4.1
Discussing past performance

Students build up their vocabulary base with a gap-fill


activity based on the sentences from the recording.

24 Play the recording for students to listen and


check their answers.

Key
1 successful 2 much
Soften 6 dangerous

too/enough

PRE-TEACHING
Recycle and practise the past simple of be in the
context of days, dates and weather. Ask questions:
What day was it yesterday? What was the date? etc.
Students discuss the sentence and say whether they
agree or not. This could be done in pairs first and
then as a class discussion. Ask for examples of
'simple' inventions.
Students work with a partner and discuss why the
bicycle was a successful invention. They should list its
advantages/disadvantages to feed back to the class.

24 Point to the photo of Rob Marte! and read


the rubric with the class. Play the recording for
students to listen and answer the question.

Key
Because the bicycle is a very successful invention.

bicycle - a very successful invention. Any


ideas why? What are the main advantages
of bikes?
They don't cost much.
OK.
They're not complicated.
They're easy to use, yeah.
Not too easy when you're going uphill!
No, that's true. Let's say 'simple'.
Running costs are low.
OK, yeah. Very cheap to run.
They don't often break down.
Yeah. Reliable.
They're safe. Well ...
They're not too dangerous. OK. So, a
successful invention, for all those reasons.
And, with modern bikes, we have a good
example of using the latest materials for a
design that's over a hundred years old.

3 complicated

4 low

25 Students listen to Rob and make a list of


the adjectives he uses. The listening is short, so play
the recording more than once, to give students time
to write down all the adjectives.

Key
cheap, simple, economical, efficient, reliable, safe

So, to sum up, then. \Vhy are bicycles popular? They're

So, when's the best time to meet, for you?


I'm free next week.
Um ... I can't make it next week. I'm ...
I'm busy all week. The week after's OK
for me.
The week after. What about Monday? Monday,
December the twelfth?
Yes, that's OK for me.
In the morning?
Yeah.
Half past nine?
Nine thirty? Yeah, that's fine.
OK. Monday, December the twelfth at nine
thirty, then.
And can you send me an agenda?
Yes, I'll write an agenda this morning, and send
it to you this afternoon.
Excellent. OK, so I look forward to receiving
that, and I'll see you on the twelfth.
OK. I look forward to seeing you then.
OK. Bye.
Bye.

Divide the class into pairs and each pair into A and B.
Give them time to look at their different pages.
Summarise the scenario by telling them that Student A
wants to visit a company to make a presentation.
He/She phones the sales manager (Student B), and
makes arrangements for the visit. Student A starts and
should make notes of what they agree. Demonstrate
the start of a phone call with a student before students
do the role play in pairs. Monitor and support them
during the conversation. After the pair work choose
one or two pairs to do the phone call for the class.
Finally, pairs work together to write an emait from the
sales manager confirming the arrangements made on
the phone. Refer students to email b, on SB page 32
as a template. Afterwards one or two students could
read out the email to the class.
To personalise the language of the unit, students think
of an em ail they wrote recently to confirm
arrangements and write it in English. This could be
done as a homework assignment.

rI Students check their answers by referring to the


transcript on SB page 118. You could conclude by
playing the recording once more, for them to listen
and read through the whole dialogue.

with waterat 30"C,and a small'rainforest'.
3 The advantangesare that the sea is quite far away
(250km) and that the dome can be used in winter too,
when it is cold. 4 Many of the world's big, rich cities
have cold climatesand so possibly largemarketsfor

Interviewer What do you think about the locationof
the resort,near Berlin?
Well, the reasonit's thereis, simply,
Caroline
becausetherewas alreadya dome there.
TropicalIslandsResortdidn'tbuild the
dome.They bought it, for quitea low
price.A company calledCarpolifter built
the dome as a factory,to make big
airships.But Cargolifter went out of
businessand had to sellthed om e.So
TropicalIslandsbought it and ... so they
had ver ylo w co nstr uctio ncosts.

in the long term?

Brainstorm generally on the topic of space exploration.
Write Space in a circle in the middle of the board and
write key words around it (important dates, names of
spaceships, first people in space etc.). Collate students'
contributions. Then students read the three opinions
about space tourism and say if they agree with any of
them or not. Write the three headlines on the board

Refer students to the photos of Virgin Galactic. Ask
them what they know about the Virgin group. Do they
know any other Virgin companies? Do they know the
name of the owner? What does the company do/sell?
(For information see www.virgingalactic.com) First give
students time to read the sentences about the text,
and check they understand them. Then students can
read the article independently or, with a weaker class,
go through together as a class. Then students decide
which sentences match the company's objectives.

Students work with a partner and ask and answer


questions about Virgin Galactic's plans. Monitor to
make sure they use the present continuous. After the
pair work ask one or two pairs to do the activity for
the class.

Teaching notes

Do you think we'll see a space tourism


industry in the next ... five years? Is that
realistic?
I think so, yeah. I'm not sure how big it'll
be. It all depends how much it costs. You
know, if a flight costs ... under fifty
thousand dollars, I think there'll be a lot of
demand. If tickets cost over five hundred
thousand dollars, very few people will buy
them. Obviously, it'll be expensive. The
question is, how expensive?
Some people say two hundred thousand
dollars is a realistic price.
Mmm ... well, that's probably about right
for a short-term objective. In the long
term, I think the cost will need to be less
than that. Probably less than half that.
What do you think space tourists will
want? What sort of experience?
Urn '" I think they'll want ... I think it has
to be a real space trip. If it's too short, then
people won't be happy. I don't think it
needs to last for hours, but a couple of
minutes won't be enough. It has to be
worth the money.
What do you think it will take to really
make space tourism take off?
If somebody shows that it's possible, for a
reasonable price, I think that'll be the
start. If the first company is successful, a
lot of others will follow. And, obviously,
the top priority is safety. That's the big
challenge - to show that it's safe.

9 Strategy

Transcrpt
So, first,let'slook at our presentadvcrtisingstratecy.
How arewe promotingthe brand at the monrcnt?As
you know, we advertisein the press-. most of clur press
ads are in magazinesread by the eighteento twenty-four
agegroup.We also use advertson billboards.We
occasionallyr,rse
TV commercials.And, of course,we
marketthe brand with sponsorshipin sports- we
sponsorbasketball,snowboardingand surfing.

Lesson 9.1,
Describinga businessconcept

P a s s i v ep: r e s e nst i m p l e ,p a s ts i m p l e

At the moment,our spendingon advertisingis hiqh as a


percentageof sales.The reasonfor that is the cost of TV
commercials.But the problem is,to make TV conrrncrcials
work, you needa lot of them.A lot morc than we haveat
present.Norv,obviouslyrvedon't lravethe budsct ortl-rat.
So,in my opinion,TV commercialsarenot the right
strategyfor Sway.

most professionalpilotsare a lot older
than that.
Interviewer Sure.And do all pilotshaveto be ableto
speakEnglish?Is thata requirement?
Mike
Yes- to fly internationally.

We havc a lot of checklists.Tl-rereare

Actuaily, most planeshavecracksin their

Dear Yves.
Pleasefind belowa reporton progresshereat the new Singaporebranch.
We've made good progresswiththe new accountsdepartment.
I'vealreadyhired
threeaccountantsand I'minterviewing
an accountsassistantnextweek.This means we're
threeweeks ahead

people,so we haven'tmade very good progressthere.We've onlyfoundone technicianso


far (we need anothertwo),and she hasn'tstartedwork yet - she's startingnext Monday.
Thatmeans we'retwo weeks behind

schedulewithlT. I'vewrittento Danielain Zurichto ask her if she can send us someonefrom
theofficethere.She hasn'trepliedyet.l'llgive hera call latertoday.
Our new sales repAnna is doingverywell.So far,she's been to Bangkok,Manila,Jakarta,
H o n gK o n g ,a n d h a s j u s tg o n et o S e o u l .S h e ' s o n l yb e e n h e r e
fourweeks and she's alreadyflownto halfof the citiesin Asia! Itcertainlyhasn'ttaken her
longto make a
start.She's sent me a few textmessagesto say her meetingshave gone well.She's seen
about20 clients
so far.And she's also done a big presentation
at the FTO tradefair in Hong Kong.
i

i So, in general,I thinkthingsare goingwell.We can stillopen


the officeon schedule,if we can solve the problemwiththe lT people.I'llsend another
progressreportnextweek.
Best regards,
Andy
