Procedure (33-45 minutes)
T will write ''Adrenalin'' on the board, and ask the Ss if they know what it means.If they don't know the meaning of the word, T will define it for the Ss. Then the T will ask the Ss to work in pair groups to come up with a few subjects and activities that they think might cause Adrenalin. T write some interesting ideas/activities on the board.
T will then show a skydiving photo 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, Ask Ss to read quickly (skim) the text and decide which answer describes the author's attitude to skydiving.
T will go over exercise 2 clarifying that there is one factual mistake in each sentence. T will give them some time to do the exercise on their own without looking for the text. Then, T will ask them to compare their answers in pairs before sharing it with the entire class. Now, T will allow the students to do a longer and more detailed reading by looking to the text.
T asks Ss to work in pairs to check the text and find out one word that has the same meaning of definitions of in the handout given to them. T checks their feedback
T will divide Ss into groups of 3 to answer the question: Have you ever parachute jump or any other extreme sport.
