T will introduce key vocabulary before handing out the text and the questions. Then T will show the class a copy of the advertisement and ask students what they think it is? Where do they think it comes from ? A newspaper, a magazine etc? Try to elicit from them that it comes from the internet and if they don't get it, point at or write the webpage on the WB - www.lifematch.com Then hand out the advertisement together with the questions and tell ss they will have a few minutes to scan ( read quickly) the text on their own and answer the questions. Before that T briefly talks about what the ss will read about. Check understanding by asking them if they will take a long time reading the text, or a short time? (ICQ) T will do a demo with the first question. Monitor students during the task and make sure to tell any early finishers to check their answers with their group members. Then as feedback , go over answers as a class.

T will monitor the ss to make sure they have understood the task correctly. T will check understanding , " will you write the good and bad points of each man on a piece of paper or will you just put a line under them in the text"? T will do one demo for students to better understand the task. Ex: Carl is unemployed. Is this a good point or a bad point?
