I will display a picture of a group of domestic animals and will ask Ss the following 2 questions that students will discuss: 1. Do you have a pet? 2. What kind of pet do you have and what makes it special to you? Anticipated problems: *Ss may not have a pet nor have had a pet in their lives. Solution: 3. In case you don't have a pet now, can you think of a pet you had in the past and tell the class what made it special to you? or 4. Can you think of a relative or a neighbour's pet and tell the class what kind of animal it was? More anticipating problems: *In case there are a few Ss, they will all answer the questions in an Open Class. * In case there are enough Ss to create BOR's I will send them to the rooms.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (7-10 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

I will give Ss instructions for a challenging quiz before they complete it and submit it I will provide a Google Forms Quiz related to the text they read where Ss wil have to fill in gaps A-E the numbers 1-6 that best complete the sentences/phrases. There is one sentence/phrase you don’t need. ANSWER KEY and text will be provided to complete the Quiz . 1. Serious collectors can pay up to £18,000 for a fully grown koi. 2. One recently sold for £250,000. 3. Although some are more reasonably priced, 4. However, I did consider buying one, 5. Jean wasn’t impressed by some of the koi on sale either. 6.

Post-Reading/Listening (6-8 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Have Ss have a speaking activity by asking them a question or two regarding the content of the text… 1. Would you invest your money in koi fish? 2. Do you think is it worth it? For the last task i'm going to show them 3 questions that Ss will have to discuss in BORs. The questions are the following: 1. Would you like to have an exotic pet?
