Post-Reading/Listening (10 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

SS work individually; they have to choose which is the best tip for them. They write down or make notes for their answers to these three questions: 1. Which do you think is the best tip? Why? 2. Do you do any of these things? Which? 3. Which of these things would you like to do in the future? Then they share the answers with the group
