T organizes students into 3 groups. Ss watch as the T acts out a short drama. Ss look at the pictures of the elderly people on the PP. What do you think these pictures are about? Give Ss instructions: (Write down as many things as you can about growing old and your ideas about this picture. Get into your Gs. Choose one person to write. You have 1 minute. Begin!)

Pre-Reading/Listening (5-6 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Reread the first paragraph. Highlight some useful vocabulary. (ex 2b)

While-Reading/Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Ss read for detail and check ideas from the previous stage (ex 2d).
