verglades Holiday Park is an animal park in the USA. It’s in Florida. It has birds, fish and … alligators! Many tourists visit the park every year. They come to look at the alligators. Most people think alligators are interesting, but they don’t really like them, and they don’t go too close to them!

Gabby doesn’t always work at the park.

She also has a second job: she catches wild alligators. If a wild alligator goes near a person’s house, Gabby and some other people catch it. They take the alligators back to the park. Her parents and friends think she’s crazy, but she really enjoys the job.

Gabby thinks many people don’t understand alligators very well, but that alligators are smart and amazing animals. And so far she still has all of her fingers!

Gabby Scampone is different. She lives in Florida, and she works at the park. She loves her job – and she also loves alligators. In her work, she teaches visitors about alligators. She tells visitors that alligators are not always dangerous animals.

Usually, alligators don’t attack people, but they don’t like it when people swim in the water near them. Also, if people give food to alligators, sometimes the alligators get too close, and that can be dangerous.

I agree – exams and tests are really, really hard. In my study breaks I play with my pet cat. Some people say that animals stop stress and relax people.

I think it’s true, well, for me it is! Everybody needs a cat to help them study!

3

I think it helps to have a good study routine. I make a study timetable and that helps me to pass my exams. I always plan a lot of breaks and have a cup of tea and something small to eat. I don’t want to get tired when I study! But the breaks are only short – about five or ten minutes. Then I go back to studying hard for one or two hours. Good marks come from a lot of hard work!

GATOR GIRL Gabby Scampone with an alligator

E

verglades Holiday Park is an animal park in the USA. It’s in Florida. It has birds, fish and … alligators! Many tourists visit the park every year. They come to look at the alligators. Most people think alligators are interesting, but they don’t really like them, and they don’t go too close to them!

Gabby Scampone is different. She lives in Florida, and she works at the park. She loves her job – and she also loves alligators. In her work, she teaches visitors about alligators. She tells visitors that alligators are not always dangerous animals.

Usually, alligators don’t attack people, but they don’t like it when people swim in the water near them. Also, if people give food to alligators, sometimes the alligators get too close, and that can be dangerous.

Gabby doesn’t always work at the park.

She also has a second job: she catches wild alligators. If a wild alligator goes near a person’s house, Gabby and some other people catch it. They take the alligators back to the park. Her parents and friends think she’s crazy, but she really enjoys the job.

Gabby thinks many people don’t understand alligators very well, but that alligators are smart and amazing animals. And so far she still has all of her fingers!

I agree – exams and tests are really, really hard. In my study breaks I play with my pet cat. Some people say that animals stop stress and relax people.

I think it’s true, well, for me it is! Everybody needs a cat to help them study!

CAT LOVER5

REPLY

I think it helps to have a good study routine. I make a study timetable and that helps me to pass my exams. I always plan a lot of breaks and have a cup of tea and something small to eat. I don’t want to get tired when I study! But the breaks are only short – about five or ten minutes. Then I go back to studying hard for one or two hours. Good marks come from a lot of hard work!

GETTING STARTED OPTIONAL LEAD-IN Books closed. Write jobs on the board. Elicit the names of jobs students know and write them on the board, e.g., banker, doctor, teacher. If necessary, ask students: How do you spell that? In monolingual classes, you may ask: What’s ‘(doctor)’ in (students’ L1)? Students then listen to you give four simple clues using the present simple, e.g., This person is very smart. / He or she knows about medicine. / You go to this person when you are sick.

Students then try to identify the job (a doctor). Unless students thought of the word scientist in the initial brainstorm, delete all the jobs from the board before reading out the following four clues: This person works outside or in a laboratory. / This person is usually good with numbers. / This person is very clever. Elicit the answer from the class or ask students to open their books and look at the photo. Write scientist on the board.

60

EXTRA ACTIVITY If your students work, ask them to write down one good thing and one bad thing about their job, e.g., It’s an easy job, but it’s very boring. Ask students to say their sentences to the class, and ask the rest of the class: Is it the same for you? Don’t let students tell each other exactly what their jobs are at this point, and tell them that they’ll find out this information at the end of Lesson 2A. Then ask students to write down one good thing and one bad thing about being a student and to share their sentences with the class.

Exercises a and b can be prepared as homework before this lesson to give students time to look up unfamiliar vocabulary. Ask students to look at the picture and to prepare their answers to the questions as homework to talk about in the next lesson.

OPTIONAL LEAD-IN Books closed. Ask students: What’s a ‘gator girl’? Tell them: It’s a job! Write it on the board. Under gator, write alligator and help students to locate gator in the word by covering up alli with your hand. Help them understand that gator is a shortened version of the word ‘alligator’. In a monolingual class, you could ask: What’s ‘alligator’ in (students’ L1)? Alternatively, to help students connect the pictures with the job title and understand the job, point at the pictures and say: This is an alligator. This is a girl.

CAREFUL! When using the present simple, students often make mistakes with the negative forms, either using haven’t instead of don’t have before a main verb, e.g., I haven’t a dangerous job (Correct form = I don’t have a dangerous job), or didn’t instead of don’t. This second type of error may sometimes cause misunderstandings, e.g., I didn’t like alligators. (Correct form = I don’t like alligators. Present simple = it’s not a usual action).

Another problem area is subject/verb agreement. Students may either omit the -s on the third person singular, e.g., Lisa work in a … (Correct form = Lisa works in a hospital), or use it where they shouldn’t, e.g., Our English classes finishes in June (Correct form = Our English classes finish in June).

02.04 Students read the information in Grammar Focus 2A SB p. 140. Play the recording where indicated and ask students to listen and repeat. Students then complete the exercises. Check answers as a class, making sure students are spelling the -s forms correctly and using don’t/doesn’t to form the negatives correctly. After students complete the Grammar Focus activities, ask them: Is the present simple easy? Is it difficult? Elicit an indication of their confidence level. Tell students to go back to SB p. 21.

02.05 Pronunciation Play the recording for students to identify which verb has an extra syllable. Check answers as a class. If necessary, by counting on your fingers, show students how love/loves both have one syllable, how catch has one syllable, but the third person singular form catches has two.

02.06 You may wish to ask students to apply the rule from 3f to the verbs before they listen. Play the recording for students to check the verbs that have an extra syllable. Check answers as a class. Drill each pair of words, e.g., work (one syllable) − works (one syllable); finish (two syllables) − finishes (three syllables), to help students get a feel for when we add an extra syllable and when we don’t.

Divide the class into pairs and assign A and B roles.

Student As read the sentences about a shop assistant on SB p. 130 and Student Bs read the sentences about a nurse on SB p. 133. They complete the sentences.

Monitor for any problems and clarify these before the pairwork stage. Put students into A/B pairs for them to read out their sentences to each other and guess the jobs.

Tell students to go back to SB p. 21.

LOA TIP MONITORING • Monitor the two stages of the pairwork activity closely.

In the first step, check carefully that students are writing the verb forms with -s correctly and point out any errors in spelling for students to self-correct.

• During the speaking stage, listen carefully to check that students are pronouncing the verb forms correctly. When students make a mistake with the pronunciation, try to catch their eye discreetly so that they can correct their mistake.

• If students continue to pronounce the verb forms incorrectly, you may wish to check this again or ask them to do the activity in Workbook 2A.

EXTRA ACTIVITY

FAST FINISHERS

Write Who am I? on the board. Think of a famous person, real or fictional, who your students will know and tell them four sentences about the person using I as if you were the person, e.g., 1 I work on my own. 2 I go to interesting places. 3 I stop bad people. 4 I drive an Aston Martin. (Answer: You’re James Bond!)

Students could then prepare their own Who am I? sentences about famous people to share in small groups.

Ask fast finishers to choose another job from SB p. 21.

They make their own sentences about it and read them out to their partner who tries to guess the job.

SPEAKING

a To help students, you may give them some example

sentences about your own job, e.g., I work in a really great place. Make sure students understand that if they choose to write about someone they know, they will need to use the -s form of the verb. Monitor and help with vocabulary and suggest ideas if necessary.

LOA TIP CONCEPT CHECKING • Check that students understand the connection between the use of the auxiliary verb in present simple negative sentences and questions by writing You study early in the morning. After the sentence, write the plus sign (+) on the board. Directly underneath the (+), write (−) and elicit a negative sentence, e.g., You don’t study in the afternoon. Under the (+) and the (−), write a question mark (?) and elicit a question, e.g., Do you study early in the morning? Circle the verb study in each sentence and the auxiliaries don’t and do.

GRAMMAR Present simple: questions 02.09 Write the following three jumbled questions about Tania and Jack on the board and ask students to put them in order: 1 Tania / busy / is ? (1 Is Tania busy?)

2 a nurse / is / Jack ? (2 Is Jack a nurse?)

3 students / they / are ? (3 Are they students?). Ask students the questions and elicit the answers. (1 Yes, she is. 2 No, he isn’t. He’s a student. 3 Yes, they are.)

Point to the questions on the board and say Questions with ‘be’. Then, point students to the Student’s Book and say: Present simple questions. Students then look at the questions and decide which one is correct. Play the recording for students to listen and check. Check the answer as a class.

• Repeat the process with a third person singular form, e.g., Ellie studies full-time. (+); Ellie doesn’t study part-time. (−); Does Ellie study full-time? (?). Circle the -s ending of the verb in the positive sentence and show students how this transfers to the auxiliary verb in the negative and in the question.

CAREFUL! Students may have problems with the word order in present simple questions, particularly with the position of the auxiliary verb in relation to the subject and the main verb, e.g., You do study at university (Correct form = Do you study at university?), or they may omit the auxiliary verb completely, e.g., Where you live? (Correct form = Where do you live?).

Answer Question 2 is correct.

02.10 Tell students to listen to the next part of Jack and Tania’s conversation for specific details about Ellie (Tania’s daughter) and to complete the information.

They compare in pairs. Check answers as a class. You may then wish to teach the word library (a place with lots of books that you can use to read or study).

Another common error is to use a full stop at the end of a question instead of a question mark or to omit the punctuation altogether, e.g., What do you study (Correct form = What do you study?). As students work through the Grammar Focus, make sure they are using correct word order and punctuation.

This section introduces the three most frequent sounds which correspond to the letters ou: /ə/, /ɔː/ and /aʊ/ (whether or not you wish to introduce students to the phonemic symbols themselves at this point will depend on the level of your class). Don’t ask students to look for other examples of words with ou themselves, as they may well find words which contain the letters ou, but are not pronounced with the three sounds being worked on.

Audioscript DANIELA My name is Daniela, and I’m a police officer in Mexico City – but just traffic police. I need to speak English because sometimes tourists ask me questions in English. For example, they ask me for directions or some tourist information. I like studying at this college.

The timetable works well – we have a two-hour break in the middle of the day. I want to improve my listening. I find listening quite hard and it’s difficult to listen to something and make notes at the same time. So I need to do some extra listening practice.

SAID Hi. My name is Said, and I’m a dentist in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

Sometimes English-speaking people come to my work, so I need to speak good English. This college is very good – the lessons are very interesting and we do lots of different things in class. I want to stay here for a term – until December. Listening and speaking is OK for me, but I need to work hard at reading and writing. I’d like to read books in English – maybe even some books about my work.

JUSTYNA Hello, my name’s Justyna, and I’m a photographer for a newspaper in Warsaw in Poland. In the future, I’d like to study at a university in the UK, so I need better English to do that. Our teacher, Kate, is great. She’s very friendly and she helps us a lot in class.

Only one thing worries me a bit: the marks I get in tests. I think my progress is OK and I can speak better, but I’m not very good at tests and exams. But maybe I need to study grammar a bit more, too!

WRITING SKILLS Spelling

LANGUAGE NOTES Homophones (words which have different spellings and meanings but are pronounced the same) may not exist in your students’ own languages, so the idea may seem very strange to them. Many problems with English spelling stem from homophones, like those in 3c. Some native speakers have real problems with even basic differences, such as your and you’re and there, they’re and their.

These problems have become even more noticeable in recent years with the advance of social media, where people are not as careful with their grammar and spelling.

a Write Englesh speling on the board. Students should

realise that it is spelt incorrectly, so rub it out and ask: How do you spell it? and write the correct spelling on the board. Tell students to cover SB p. 26 and look at the first copy of Daniela’s entry form on SB p. 27. Look at the example together and explain that there are eight more spelling problems. Ask students: How many spelling problems are there in total? Elicit the answer nine (the example plus eight more problems). Individually, students find and correct the spelling mistakes. Check answers as a class.

Answers offiser officer toorists tourists informashion information dificult difficult anser answer becos because listning listening scool school

FAST FINISHERS Ask fast finishers to make a list of words they know they often have problems spelling. They write the incorrect form of each word, strike it through and put a cross after it, and then write the correct spelling next to it with a tick after it, e.g., riting ✗ writing ✓.

b As a class, discuss when it is important to use correct spelling.

Answers 2 ✓ 3 ✓

c Individually, students find and correct the spelling

mistake in each sentence. Check answers by writing the sentences on the board and asking students to tell you where the mistake is. Strike the incorrect word through and ask them to spell the correct word to you all together as you write it on the board.

Answers 1 see sea 2 right write 3 no know 4 here hear 5 bye buy

d Discuss as a class how the incorrect and correct words in 3c are the same. Then, elicit an indication of students’ confidence level for English spelling.

Answer They’re pronounced the same.

EXTRA ACTIVITY Give students a spelling test with ten items from the course so far, e.g., 1 grey, 2 awful, 3 Australian, 4 amazing, 5 secretary, 6 Germany, 7 businesswoman, 8 brilliant, 9 photographer, 10 timetable. Ideally, personalise the test for your group by choosing words which you know your students often have problems spelling. Check answers by getting students to write the words on the board, spelling them aloud as they go. Students award themselves one point for each word they spell correctly.

WRITING

a Individually, students complete the form with their

information. If you’re short of time, this exercise and 4b can be completed for homework. Students could then bring their forms to the next lesson.

b Students write their answers to the two questions for the competition. Remind them to use their ideas from the discussion in 1d. If you used the Fast Finishers activity after 1d, make sure you have corrected any errors you heard students make in their speaking before they start writing in order for them not to repeat them in written form here.

LOA TIP ELICITING • Before students start writing, consider eliciting orally another example about yourself. Use the texts about Daniela in 2a as a guide. Students close their books.

Point to yourself and say: I work as … (elicit: an English teacher) in … (elicit: the city). I love my job, but not the … (elicit suggestions). Continue eliciting ideas for what you might say about yourself in answer to the first question.

• After building up a paragraph about why the students’ language is important to you, repeat the process with a second paragraph about what you want to improve in the students’ language. This will also be valuable as it will help students understand that the problems they may be experiencing in learning English are relatively common and apply to people learning other languages, too.

c In pairs, students swap their forms and see if their ideas

are the same. They can also check their partner’s work for spelling mistakes. If students have made any spelling mistakes, or if their partner can offer any other ideas for improving their answers, they prepare a second draft of their answers before giving it to you for correction.

1 Irene thinks that most people want to be a cleaner.

2 There are a lot of people and cars in the streets at 6 o’clock in the morning.

3 Irene likes to hear the birds.

4 She doesn’t do very much at work.

5 She talks to the nurses in the hospital.

6 She wants to be a doctor.

7 She studies at a college.

8 She doesn’t have time for her studies.

d Write a paragraph about one job you want to do and one job you don’t want to do. Think about these questions: • What are the good things about the job you want to do?

Why do you like those things?

• What are the bad things about the job you don’t want to do? Why don’t you like those things?

Irene’s story I’m a cleaner. I love my job. I’m sure you’re surprised to hear that.

You probably don’t know anyone who wants to become a cleaner!

So why do I love my job? Well, first, I start work at 6 o’clock. When I walk to work, the streets are quiet and I can hear the birds sing. You don’t usually hear the birds in the middle of the city!

The second thing is, I work in a hospital. It’s hard work, but I know that what I do is really useful, and that makes me happy. Also, the nurses are friendly, and I chat with them when I have time.

But I don’t want to be a cleaner all my life. I really want to be an engineer. I go to college in the evenings to study.

That’s why the third reason is the really important one. I finish work at lunch time! So when everyone else goes back to work after their lunch break, I have time for my studies.
