Assign Ss into 2 groups, A and B, A will be reading HO1, and B will be reading HO2. A set of numbers will be provided and Ss will have to read the text and scan for the numbers in a short time e.g 1 min to find out what do they refer to. Then, Ss to work in pairs and tell their partner about their text, by sharing what the numbers from both text refer to. Remind Ss to write down the details for the class discussion later. T can demonstrate the task and ICQs to make sure they understand the instructions.
