IELTS READING

WARM-UP
1. Lonely hearts
I’ll re-use the photos from a class I took last week, where I show three men and three
woman with a very brief bio of each one. The students have to match them up, then
speculate on what the outcome of the date will be …
2. Quotes for the class
Uncle Ho, Confucius, Aristotle
ACTIVITY 1

EXTRA ACTIVITY 1
1. Discuss two contentious issues
Vietnamese are so lazy
Vietname should be part of China
I am expecting a vociferous outcry, but the object here is to let the students gather their
ideas and verbalise them in a suitable way for IELTS.
They will need to give their opinions, use adverbs, and back them up with reasons.

IELTS GAME
1. Family Fortune game
Students are put into small groups and have a set time to come up with four answers.
These can be learning based (e.g. four adverbs of degree), new vocabulary or general
knowledge questions. To make it more fun, I could ask questions regarding my
experiences (I have lived in four countries; which ones ? What are my favourite
Vietnamese dishes ? What do I like more in VN than UK ? etc).
Each team chooses up to two players to write down answers to a series of five
questions. The answers are then scored based on the points printed on the question
sheet. Finally, each team adds the scores from the two rounds, and the highest total
wins.
