T-S task feedback, write some interesting ideas/activities on the board.
T will ask the students whether they remember the answer to her 'Truth or Lies' activity from the previous day, which was about skydiving. She will then put a skydiving photo on the board and ask if any of the students has ever done it, and what they think about it.
T will go through the three choices in the first exercise with the class, and ask them to skim the text and decide which answer describes the author's attitude to skydiving.
T will allow the students to do a longer and more detailed reading of the text. She will then go over the example in exercise 2, by emphasizing that there is one factual mistake in each sentence. She will give them some time to do the execise on their own. After they are done, she will ask them to compare their answers in pairs before sharing it with the entire class. WCF
