Setting the scene: You are going to read about the World Cup. Task 1: (10 mins) T writes these words on the board: jointly, the globe, tournament, host nation, trophy Then T instructs Ss to read the passage quickly and stop at the lines that contain these words to guess their meanings. Ss should guess the meanings of the words based on the contexts in which the words occur and the components of the words. Then T asks Ss to check their answers with a partner and then calls on some Ss to give and explain their answers. T feedbacks T might also want to get Ss to make sentences with each of the new words to check that they can use the words correctly. Task 2: T introduces the task: Ss are going to scan the text for information to complete the blanks. T instructs Ss some strategies to do the task: + First, Ss read through the five questions to work out what information they are to look for and underline the key words. For example, in the first question Ss need to find out how many teams played in the first World Cup and the key words may be the first World Cup. + Then Ss go back to the passage and scan it until they see the first instance of the key words. Ss should read around the key words. If they cant find the answer in the first instance, then they should keep on reading until they can find it in the second or the third instance and so on. For example, the first instance of the first World Cup could be found in line 5 but as there is no information about the number of teams in this line, Ss should keep on reading until they see the second instance of these words in line 7, where they can find the answer. T gets Ss to do this task individually and goes around to check and offer help if necessary. T asks Ss to check the answers with a friend. Then T calls on some Ss to give and explain their answers. Task 3:

- Do the task following teachers instructions.

the

- Work in pairs to do the task - Give out their answer to the whole class. - Correct their answer if necessary Answer: 1. b 2. c 3. a 4. e 5. d

Read all the sentences first to understand them. - Read the whole passage carefully to find words to fill in the blanks. - Compare their results in pairs. - Four Ss write down the answers on the board - The others look at the board and give out their comments. Correct the answers if necessary. Answer: 1. 13 (line 8) 2. 32 (line 13) 3. Argentina (line 10) 4. one (line 6) 5. 26 (lines 6-9: Ss need to infer from the fact that FIFA was set up in 1904 and in 1930 the first World Cup was held, so between 1930 and 1904there were 26 years)
