The teacher may need to pre-teacher the words /beautiful, handsome, attractive/ The teacher gives the students the survey questions and ask them to in pairs/ or two groups to try to answer the questions and who they think the most beautiful woman and most handsome man in the world and what makes them so. they should try to write down number of things that makes a person attractive. then the questions are discussed in the class.
The teacher get the students to read the survey and look at the pictures. students are organised in pairs as they discuss their ideas and then the teacher elicits their opinions on whether they think the people are attractive and why
The teacher demonstrates through giving simple examples " she is a beautiful actress. she is a handsome man/ we use an adjective and a noun eg) long hair.... then he gives students a list of two columns, they are supposed to match the words from column A with words in column B. the teacher let the students come up with different matches then teachers confirm that more than one match is possible.
The teacher ask students to get in two groups and then ask them to discuss the question "what do you think makes a face attractive? " give the students sometime to think and come up with answers, get the feedback then let students listen to the audio and see if their opinions are similar to the people in the listening
The teacher ask students to individually write what their most beautiful woman/handsome man looks like, he gives them some time for brainstorming and writing then ask them to mingle and discover each others' opinion
