the video file, enter the video link in a web browser or scan the printed QR code with a mobile device (make sure
you have a QR code reader app installed as well as internet access). Alternatively, if your students are smartphone

5. Body actions role play

forehead.’ To practise the third person form of the present continuous in a large class, students can also work in
groups of three. Student A demonstrates an action, Student B asks Student C ‘What is he/she doing?’
In a one-to-one class, you can reverse the roles, i.e. demonstrate an action and ask the student ‘What am I doing?’
6. Senses
Students work individually and check in pairs. Point out the difference between ‘hear’ (a passive state) and ‘listen’
(a deliberate action). Give examples, e.g. ‘I can’t hear you’ / ‘I’m listening to music’. Model pronunciation of the
noun forms. Students can report what they found out about their partners to the class in order to practise the
third person forms of ‘I love’, ‘I like’, etc.
