2)Ask students to observe the preposition in each sentence and work out the differences of “in, on, to” in describing location. A few minutes later, call back their answers.

Suggested answers:

Get students to observe the sentences and try to think of the following questions:

→ Step 3 Pronunciation and Everyday English

1. Activity One & Activity Two

Option One

1)Students read the dialogue individually and try to make sense of it.

2)Play the tape through once while they listen.

3)Ask them to mark the rises and falls as indicated in their books.

4)Call back their answers. You may do this by getting them to actually say the sentences with the correct intonation, or by writing the relevant sentences on the board and having students come out and draw arrows over the question tags.

Suggested answers:

Rises:

Amy, you are from Wales, aren’t you?

Falls:

1. That’s the capital of Scotland, isn’t it?

2. That’s in the west, isn’t it?

3. That’s in Scotland, isn’t it?

5)Play the tape one more time, pausing after each utterance for students to repeat. When you come to the question tags, make sure that they listen to them and practice them several times.

6)Do the dialogue as a conversation between yourself and the whole class in chorus. Do it at least twice, swapping roles.

Option Two

1)Students are required to listen to the dialogue in Listening section and then point out a few sentences with question tags. After that ask students to explain why different intonations are used.

The following may be the possible answers:

Your voice rises when you ask a real question, while it falls when you check you know something.

2)Listen to the dialogue on Page 8 and then mark the rises and falls.

3)Give students a few minutes to practice the dialogue in pairs and then ask some pairs to perform for the class. However, they must say whether it’s going to be a “real question” or “checking what they know” before. The rest of the class checks that the intonation is correct.

2. Activity Three

1)Pair students to do this activity.

2)Have a few pairs to perform for the class and the teacher monitor their performance for remedial work.
