Ss will watch and react to an eighty-second news video extract about two brothers reuniting after spending 50 years apart. Stimulate them with some questions: "What was the video about? How did the people in the video feel? Why?" This will expose them to the context of the following story/reading passage.

Part 1: Do task 1 & 2 Explain to the ss that they are about to read a true story in the same context. Ask them to have a look at the questions before reading so that they would know exactly what they are looking for from the text. Elicit answers as feedback. Elicit ss' predictions about the rest of the story. Ask ss to work in pairs to order the sentences in activity 2. Monitor and help if needed. Ask the groups to exchange HOs to compare their answers. Whole class feedback. Part 2: Do activity Point out to the ss that the sentences are telling a story. Ask them to write the actual conversation (This can be done in pairs or in groups of three).
