Let’s do Ex.1 оn p.16

Students work in pairs to match the names in list A with the cities in list B.

Answers: 1-c; 2 –a; 3-d; 4-b.

1. Before reading the text ‘Where it's at' I’d like to tell you some interesting facts about these cities and the music which developed in these cities.

• Liverpool, an industrial port town in northwest England, was made famous by the Beatles and other pop groups in the 1960s. The River Mersey runs through the city which is why the music that came out of Liverpool in the 1960s was called the Mersey sound.

• Manchester is a big industrial city in northwest England. Oasis are a rock band from Manchester. They were extremely popular in the late 1990s.

• Bristol, an industrial port town in southwest England is home of trip hop, a popular rock movement of the 1990s. Massive Attack is a British rock band from Bristol formed in 1987. Their music mixes soul, hiphop, reggae, and rock.

• Memphis, Tennessee, on the Mississippi River, is the biggest city in the state, and is often associated with pop music, especially that of Elvis Presley (1935-1977), the most famous rock and roll singer of all time. Born in Tupelo Mississippi, he lived mostly in Memphis.

• Dublin is the capital of Ireland and centre of Irish folk music. Well-known bands from Dublin are U2 and the Chieftains. U2 are known for their political songs.

• Hiphop is a kind of American rock music with a heavy beat and special musical effects. It is often associated with graffiti art and breakdance.

• Students read the beginning of each statement (not the possible endings) and find and underline the part of the text that it refers to.

• This is a scanning exercise, which requires students to read the text quickly for specific information. I set a time limit of five minutes for this.

Answers

1 - lines 3-8; 2 - lines 9-10; 3 - lines 22-23; 4 - lines 28-30; 5 - lines 31-35.

• Students read the possible endings for each statement, check back to where they found the beginning of each one, read around that point and choose the best answer. Warn them that they should not expect the wording of the text to be the same as that of the answer, but that the meaning should be the same.

Answers:

1-D (lines 3-7); 2-A (lines 9-11); 3- A (lines 22-23); 4- В (lines 26 -30); 5 – C (lines 37-39).

1. Ex.3 p.17

Students read definitions. Make sure they understand them. Students should try and guess the word or phrase by reading the definition carefully before checking with the text. This encourages them take a more active, independent approach to vocabulary.

Point out that the paragraph where they can find word is given. Students read the text again and find the words or phrases which have a similar meaning to the definitions.

Answers:

1 – Port (line 3); 2 – trends (line 10); 3 – is linked with (line 20); 4 – graduates (line 28).

1. Your home task is to read and to translate the text “Where it’s at” properly, write down new words from the text into your vocabularies and learn them by heart, so your home task is Ex.1 p.16.

2. Grammar

Present perfect simple.

Presentation: ask students how many ways they know of talking about the past in English. Put some of their examples on the board and briefly discuss the differences in meaning of the forms they have offered.

Grammar box.

Direct students to the grammar box on page 17 ask them to read the three example sentences.

Elicit from students the differences in meaning of the past simple and present perfect simple.

Ex. 1 p.17

Students find and underline examples of the present perfect simple in paragraph 2 of the text on page 16. Encourage students to think about why each one is being used.

Point out that we often follow the present perfect simple with the past simple, which gives more specific information about the event mentioned in the present perfect.

Answers:

Past simple: was Memphis (line 12), moved to (line 15), gave (line 16).

Present perfect: have had (line 18), has given birth to (line 19).
