Task 1 Listen to 3 interviews in London. Which countries are the people from? Pick a Yellow card when you hear the name of a nationality and an orange card when you hear the name of a country. Remember your word. Now work in your groups, what was he/she saying using these words. E.g. English (yellow card): He isn’t English. He’s Scottish.

Task 1 With a partner, write three questions beginning Is …? And three questions beginning Are …? Ask them to another pair. Task 2 Write 2-3 sentences about yourself and 2-3 sentences about a friend using am, is, and are. Pair up with a classmate and correct errors in each other’s writing. Then give it to a classmate to read. Your classmate can then summarize the information in a spoken report to a small group.
Take some notes during the tasks for the delayed correction. We'll end on a positive note and if correction is needed we'll comment on their common mistakes. Write them on the board, give them a chance to identify the errors themselves and ask them to contrast what they actually said with what they should have said in pairs.
