Get the Ss' attention to the ex. 1 and ask them to talk about the two people they see on the paper Ask them to answer the questions on ex. 1 with their group Introduce them some of the words that is assumed to be difficult for the Ss eg. ordinary, enthusiasm, currently, extraordinary, flavors and charity.
tell the Ss that they're going to listen to the listening part once and check their prediction (answer to ex. 1) ask the Ss to discuss their answer with their group and then choose one person from each group to tell his/her idea.
