Nancy: Me too. I hate all kinds of shopping! I never even go to the supermarket.
But I still help my parents at the weekends. I do the laundry and vacuum the rugs.
I never do the washing-up, though – I always break things! So how about
Sunday? Are you free then?
Mark: Hang on, sorry, I always chat to my cousin online on Sunday mornings. He
lives in Australia, so it’s 7:00 in the evening when it’s 10 o’clock here! Let’s
meet at 11:30 instead.
Notes:
(*) The teacher trainee can choose other techniques (such as open predictions, true/false statements for prediction, ordering statements/pictures
and network) to motivate learners to read the text.
(**) The teacher trainee can choose other subskills such as listening for specific information, deducing meaning from context, listening for
inferring speakers’ attitudes/feelings, listening for understanding text structure for learners to practice in task 2. The subskill that the teacher
trainee chooses depends on the length, structure and complexity of the listening text.
(***) The teacher trainee can choose other techniques (i.e. role play, write-it-up, further practice) for learners to do in the post listening stage.
