Pre-reading (8-10 minutes) • To pre-teach some new words before doing the questionnaire

T will pre-teach 6 words which may block their reading during while reading. T will give students examples and situations in order to elicit the words as well as asking concept checking questions scripted on the LA sheet. * look forward to * get over sth * inherit * unexpexted * afford * luxury

While reading (6-8 minutes) • To read a questionnaire and answer the questions

Freer practice (10 minutes) • To provide Ss with an opportunity to reuse the languge less restrictedly
