Grammar revision A
A Read examples ad with the class and elicit the answers to
questions 13. Discuss how each tense is used. If students

sentences and questions in 3, review the form of each tense.

in positive sentences, but we use anything in negative
sentences and questions: I didnt learn anything. NOT I didnt
learn something.

B Read out the two sentences and elicit which is correct, and
why. Remind students that some verbs are stative verbs
and are not usually used in continuous forms. As a class,
brainstorm some other stative verbs and write them on the
board, e.g. see, want, understand, believe.
ANSWERS

The first sentence is incorrect.

We cannot use the verb know in a continuous form. It is a
stative verb and expresses thought .
C Read out the two questions and elicit the correct answers. Use
the blue words in the questions to explain to students that who
refers to the subject in question 1 and the object in question 2.
Elicit which type of question needs an auxiliary verb.

An object question needs an auxiliary verb.

Correct any errors of form, then ask other students to answer.

ANSWERS

1 hasnt 2 has changed

3 sometime in the past

LANGUAGE NOTE Students often forget that we use the

present perfect, not the past simple, for actions or experiences
sometime in the past: Ive been to Italy a few times. NOT I went
to Italy a few times.
They may also forget that we use the present perfect, not the
present simple. for actions or states which havent finished:

Check that students understand the meaning of all the words,
and elicit which two sentences have similar meanings. Point

sentences to the class. Ask other students to decide whether
the sentences are true or false. You could make this into a
game, where students get a point for each correct guess.

1 Focus on photos A and B and ask: What do the photos show?

What is happening in each one? Elicit some ideas, then ask
students to read the two texts, ignoring the gaps. Ask:
Which text compares the two photos? (Text B). Students then
complete the texts with the words in the boxes.
ANSWERS

Text A
1 garden 2 restaurant 3 celebrating 4 ages
5 grandparents 6 birthday 7 happy
Text B
1 groups 2 different 3 formal 4 birthday 5 relaxed
6 restaurant 7 friendlier
2 SPEAKING Focus on photo C and check that students know
the word beach. Read through the Key phrases with the class
and check that students understand them all. Students write
a description of the photo, including their answers to the
questions and using the key phrases. Ask some students to
read their descriptions to the class. Ask other students in what
ways their own descriptions were different.
POSSIBLE ANSWER

As you can see, this photo shows some people on a beach.

Isuppose it is a holiday resort because a lot of people are on
holiday. The people are sitting in the sun or swimming in the
sea. Not many people are swimming in the sea. Maybe this is
because its a bit cold. It looks like it isnt very warm because
theres a woman at the front of the picture whos wearing a
jumper. Theres a woman in an orange bikini in the front right
of the photo. It looks like shes just come out of the sea. She
looks a bit cold, I think. Two people, a man and a woman, are
standing still. They seem to be watching some children playing.
I suppose they are watching their own children. Ive been on
holidays like this a few times with my family. We often go to a
small beach in Greece. There arent many people there, and the
sea is lovely and blue. My sister and I love swimming in the sea,
but my parents prefer to relax on the beach. I think the beach is
a great place to relax and forget about all your worries.
3 SPEAKING Read through the Key phrases and check that
students understand them all. Students write a comparison
of the two photos using the Key phrases. Ask some students
to read their comparisons to the class. Ask other students to
listen and note down the Key phrases in the comparisons.
POSSIBLE ANSWER

Both photos show people who seem to be on holiday. The

pictures are similar in that way. The settings are different,
though. In picture C there are a lot of people on a beach. It
looks like a popular tourist beach. People are relaxing by sitting
on the beach, or swimming in the sea. On the other hand, in
picture D there are only four people. The situation is different
because they seem to be in a different country, maybe in Africa,
because they are looking at wild animals. You can see that it
is a different kind of holiday, maybe a safari holiday. You can
also see that they look quite serious. Anyway, Id prefer to be in
the place in photo C because I enjoy swimming in the sea and
relaxing on the beach when I go on holiday.

Students prepare their ideas individually. Ask

individual students to tell the class about their experiences.
Ask who else has had or would like to have similar
experiences. See who in the class has had the most exciting
experiences. Alternatively, put students into groups or pairs
to discuss their ideas. Ask one student from each group to tell
the class about one of their classmates experiences.
2 Read through the lists with the class and teach any unfamiliar
vocabulary. Students decide which activities they would and
wouldnt like to do. Ask them to choose the five activities they
would most and least like to do.
Ask individual students to tell the class which activities they
have chosen. Ask other students to agree or disagree, and
encourage them to give reasons.
SPEAKING

SPEAKING Read out the adjectives in the box to model

pronunciation. Allow students time to prepare their ideas.
With stronger classes, ask students to think of a sentence
using each adjective. In a weaker class, students can choose
three or four adjectives and make sentences using these. Tell
all students they should give reasons for their answers.
Ask individual students to tell the class their ideas. Ask other
students if they agree. Ask: Are you more like Paul or Adrienne?
Why?

Extra activity: Speaking

As a class, brainstorm other adjectives for describing peoples
character. Write them on the board. Possible adjectives are:
outgoing, confident, brave, sensitive, caring, considerate.
Ask individual students which adjectives in the box and on
the board best describe them, and why.

Extra activity: Vocabulary

Point out that all the adjectives in the box are positive. Ask:
Which adjectives have an opposite? Elicit answers and write
them on the board: unadventurous, unambitious, impractical,
unromantic, unsociable.
Brainstorm other negative adjectives for describing people,
and write these on the board, e.g. selfish, lazy, boring.
Allow students time to record all the personality adjectives.
Remind them that it is a good idea to record vocabulary in sets.

Fast finishers
While students are choosing their activities, fast finishers could
add two more activities to each list that they think Paul and
Adrienne would enjoy. At the end, ask them to tell the class
which activities they chose, and why. Ask other students if
they agree.

Fact file
The term bucket list means a list of things you want to do
before you die. It comes from the informal expression to kick
the bucket, meaning to die. The idea was popularized by a
2007 American film called The Bucket List, a comedy about two
terminally ill men who go on a road trip with the aim of doing
as many of the things on their lists as they can before they die.
