There are two different envelops. I give each two students an envelope with same number of paper pieces but different paintings and ask them to make the picture and look at it carefully if they now the name of the painting and the painter. I set the time and they do the activity like a race. When the time is over I ask them to put the pieces back to envelope and explain some detail about the painting for their pairs. Information like: what is the name of the painting? Who is the painter? What is the painting about? How many people are in the it? Where is it? or any other specific detail.

I show the students a slide of the Bosch painting on the board and ask the students to look at it very carefully and write three things they find interesting about the painting. I ask them to compare their ideas in pair. I monitor them and guide them to pay attention to detail such as who are the people? where the event is happening? what is it all about? pay attention to colors and expressions
They listen to the audio and compare their ideas with what they have written. I run a quick feedback. What is the name of the painting? who is the painter?Is it his best painting? What is it about?
I give them HO from course book. Give them a minute to read the question and understand what detail they need to notice while listening. I play the audio for the second time. Give them 3 minutes to answer the question and check the answers in pairs. Monitor them if they would need to listen one more time. While they compare the answers I display them on the board for them to check. I ask if any of them have noticed any interesting detail about the painting and wants to share with others.
I ask them if they can guess the meaning of the lexis chunks underlined shown in the slides. 1- I went on a wild-goose chase all over the town looking for that adapter until I discovered they no longer make them. wild goose chase: an absurd or hopeless pursuit, as of something unattainable http://www.collinsdictionary.com 2- David Copperfield is famous for leading on audiences with his controversial and amazing magic tricks. to mislead, to try to make someone believe a lie. to encourage with the illusion of a romantic relationship. http://www.collinsdictionary.com 3- When she planned to buy this villa I advised her to ask for a trusted lawyer but she was not sure if she would really need to spend on a lawyer but when i ask how she makes sure that she will not be taken for a ride by the brokers, she kept quiet and did as I said.
