Teacher shows answer keys and address any language focus that might help students to upgrade their level. Teacher should ask students to find at least ten verbs in the text and use Chatgpt to know the form of these verbs. Are they in the present or past form ?. Students need to put these verbs into different sentences. In this case they might work in groups to produce as many sentences as they can. Also, to let them know how to pronounce both forms using ReadSpeaker AI tool. Moreover, to highlight the pronunciation of contracted forms to develop their fluency using the same AI tool.
