4 If we want to say who/what did the action, which word do we use _BY__?

7B ACTION MAN
R: GUESSING THE MEANING OF WORDS FROM CONTEXT / REFERRING :
THIS AND THAT

guessing the meaning of words from context

You can sometimes guess what a word means by looking for clues in the word and in the sentence.
● Look at the sentence and identify what type of word it is (verb, noun, adjective, etc.).
● • Identify any parts of the word that you already understand.
● • Look at the immediate context of the word in the clause and sentence, and look at the wider context of the word
in the surrounding sentences.
● • After guessing the meaning, read the sentences again to see if your guess makes sense in context.

referencing: this and that

We can use this and that to refer back to ideas that have already appeared in the text. The ideas can be nouns or whole
phrases:
● Vic has broken his legs, an arm, his ribs, and his nose. This is only the start of a long list of injuries.
● Vic jumped from a running horse onto a moving tank. That even amazed director Steven Spielberg.

7C GOT TALENT

Aelita Andre was once described as the youngest professional artist in the world. She 1has been able to paint since she was
nine months old. In fact, she 2could paint before she 3could walk or talk. When she was two, an art gallery director saw her
paintings and decided to exhibit them. When he found out how old she was, he 4couldn’t believe IT
Aelita’s paintings have sold for thousands of dollars, and she 5 has been able to travel to see them in prestigious art galleries
all over the world.
She usually leads quite a normal life. She 6can play the violin, is learning the drums, and would like to 7be able to live forever

L: UNDERSTANDING FACTS AND FIGURES / INTONATION / HEALTH AND


FITNESS

understanding facts and figures (SKILLS)

When listening for detailed information, we often need to understand facts and figures
accurately.
Before you listen, find out what type of information you need to listen for. For example, is it a number, a person, a time, a
place, etc?
• Use the general context to predict when you'll hear numbers, e.g. when talking about times, dates, distances, prices and
percentages.
• Recognize words which often follow numbers: currencies (£, $, €), percent, decimal points, and ways of describing
statistics: one in four people, one fifth of the population, the average, three times as many.
Discuss the questions in pairs. Give reasons for your answers.
1 Do you enjoy walking as a way to keep active?
2 Have you ever used a pedometer, or would you like to try one?
3 Is doing exercise with a friend or partner a good idea?

understanding facts and figures (LISTENING BUILDER )


When listening to fast English, listen for phrases which help you follow units of meaning. In a phrase, the intonation usually
falls towards the end.
● There are so many ways to get---- fit.
● Some people play---- sports, while others eat a balanced diet and stay--- active.

You could talk about the following things:


● amount of exercise
● diet
● amount of stress
● sleep
● good or bad habits

9B CHOCOLATE- THE WORLD'S FAVOURITE SUPERFOOD
R: READING FOR DETAIL / SUBSTITUTION ONE, ONES
Read the whole text quickly. Why is chocolate a superfood? Which five benefits are mentioned?

reading for detail (skill)

● When answering multiple-choice questions, you often have to look for detailed information in a text.
○ • First, read the text quickly. Then read the questions and underline key words.
○ • Scan the text and find the part that contains the information you need. Read that part in detail.
○ • If a word from the answer options appears in the text, it doesn’t mean that option is the correct
answer. Read the sentence carefully to make sure the meaning of the option is the same as in the text

substitution: one, ones (Text builder)

To avoid repeating a noun from earlier in the sentence or in a previous sentence, we can substitute it with one (singular) or
ones (plural):
● Foods that have received this label have been unexciting ones like spinach, garlic or salmon.
● This creates the same feeling as the one you get when you fall in love.

1 My train was delayed when I got to the station. The next one was an hour later, so I had to wait.
2 I was offered two free apps when I bought my phone. The ones I chose were both games.
3 There are lots of great restaurants all over the city, but the best ones are down by the harbour.
4 Every student was given the same Maths problem, but I was the only one who could solve it.
5 We serve lots of dishes in my restaurant, but the most popular ones are red curry and lasagne

● Is there any food that is a ‘guilty pleasure’ for you?

Food Options for Students in Mexico City

Introduction
Mexico City offers many delicious food options for students. You can find traditional dishes everywhere, and trying them is a
great experience.

Traditional Dishes
Students should try pozole, a tasty soup with corn and meat. Chilaquiles are also very popular for breakfast. They are made
with tortillas, sauce, and cheese. You have to eat them with cream and avocado for extra flavor.

Desserts
For dessert, I like eating flan napolitano. It’s sweet and soft. Students might also enjoy trying it.

Advice
It’s a good idea to eat traditional food when visiting Mexico City. In addition, students should explore local markets to find the
best dishes. Moreover, they must remember to stay hydrated while enjoying their meals.

Let me know if you’d like a version slightly easier or more advanced!
