Can you tell me anout your favorite? After that students be able to understand the text.
There are some words that give students a hard time to understand the text. In this stage I able yo ask some questions in which the new words are used such as speed dating, exciting, nervous. The students will ask for the meaning and I pre-teach them. For instance I show them some pictures and they can gues the meaning and that help them for memorise the meaning.
