Pre-vocab: Aeroplane: put a picture and elicit the US name for it then give them the UK version. maiden name: CCQs: is she married? Does she have a surname before marriage? What is it called? Do men have maiden names? check out: put a picture and elicit it from them. CCQs: Where is he? Is he leaving the hotel? What is he doing?
Give the Ss the first task handout. Instruction: ask them to listen to the recording and take note about the annoying rules the 6 people are talking about. They're going to work individually. ICQs: how many people are in the recording? Demonstration: do the first one together. Ask them to check in pairs then if there are issues play the recording as a check then use the projector to show the answer key.
Give Ss cut-up phrases from the listening record that express annoyance. Instruction: ask them to match the phrases in pairs. ICQs: are you going to work in groups? Demonstration: ask them to come and do the first one together. Ask them to stand up and check with other pairs then put the listening track again. Provide answer key afterwards.

Instruction: ask them to work individually and write in their diaries about a day that went horribly wrong because of 3 or 4 annoying rules.
