Before the first hearing, the students are going to look at the first three questions on page 37, exercise 5a. Then they are going to listen to the track 42 of CD 2. When the track is over, the students are going to answer the questions in groups of 3, minus the "example" part of each prompt. Then we will check the answers together.
After the answers are checked, they are going to listen deeply to check the details of the track. Then they are asked to give examples to the first three prompts that they answered before. They will be asked to explain and support their examples.
Students are asked to talk to eachother in groups of 3 about if there are any other tips or not, and to explain their reasoning.
