T asks Ss to look at the pictures. T asks them if they know the two actresses in the picture. Do you know who they are? I will check if they know their jobs . Madonna is a pop singer. Catherine is a Hollywood star. Then I will hand out the students the next activity that will prepare them for the scanning and the detailed reading. It will be a matching activity. students will work in two groups and try to match each word with its definition I will ask them to compare their answers together. Then I will hand them the correct answers and ask them to check it together. I will then drill the new vocabulary to make sure they pronounce it correctly. I will repeat each word three times then ask them to repeat after me and ask some students to say it on their own.
on the board I will write the following two questions: what nationality is each person? Where do they live? then I will ask the students to read the passage quickly (scan) to find the answers. Then I will give them the feed back.
In this stage students will be asked to look at the questions in their papers. I will answer the first question as an example. Then they will take 10 minutes to read the passage thoroughly to find the answers. I will then ask the students to work in pairs to compare their answers. Then I will give them the answers in the feedback. I will check their understanding of the instructions by asking them the following question: Are you going to read every word of the passage ?
I will ask students to write five words about things they like and hate. Then I will ask them to discuss with their partners the things their likes and dislikes. I will give them a demonstration though an example .
