-I will ask students to work in pairs and match the new vocabulary with the possible meaning - When they finish I will ask them to check the other students' work and if they could find something different and which version is correct. After that, I will give them a handout with the answer key to check their answers. -Following that, I will give them a reading text and answer the questions first individually, then they will check in pairs: Why did the journalists go to the spa? " reading for gist" Which treatment do you think Joanna and Stephen will like best? " prediction"
