First, I will ask Ss who likes sport?, who plays sport? or who used to play sport? Then I will write the word " sport" on board and ask Ss: what words can you think about when I say sport? I will write their suggestions on board and make sure to make them think about kinds of sports and health and fitness.

stage 2 (3-4 minutes) • A warmer exercise

I will give Ss a table that includes some sports personalities and pictures, they have to complete the table with the missing information using the pictures. They will do this exercise in pairs, then I will give them the answer key.

stage 3 (3-4 minutes) • pre teach some vocabulary for the listening

I will first introduce the idea of an isotonic drink and that it is a drink sports people use it to help them have the necessary minerals and fluid for their bodies. Then we want to have an advertisement for this drink, so we need an advertising executive to plan it for us. I will try to elicit those words and if Ss have no idea about them I will give them clues.
