Teacher's notes
A.
The objective is to focus on the vocabulary needed in Exercise
B. Model the pronunciation and perhaps use stress marks or phonetic
symbols to help.
B.
Pre-teach any of the vocabulary that you think the students
won't know. It is important to get students to give their reasons
for their opinions. Do the first question with the whole class as
an example. During this example, practise the Useful Expressions
to promote discussion.
C.
The aim is to give students more practice with the same language
used in Exercise B. Focus on fluency not accuracy - correct any
major errors after the exercise. There isn't necessarily a correct
answer, and in many cases ss may think that both are equally important.
