Ss read the text again and tick the sentences T or F. Teacher monitors to check comprehension. Ss check answers in pairs. Finally teacher checks answers W/C and asks Ss how they've got the correct answer by referring to the text.
Before teacher assigns Comprehension 2, she checks the meaning of "beat" and "interior" by a quick matching activity. After Ss match the two words with their meaning, teacher assigns Comprehension 2.
