Have Ss answer the following questions on Google slides: Ask: Who do people usually give tips to in your country? (waiters, hair dressers, nobody) / How much do people tip them? (answers may vary). Pre-teach "find out" (discover), "straightforward" (easy or clear to understand) and "work out" (figure out or calculate) by displaying the following sentences from the text they will read: When you are abroad, trying to find out who to tip is never straightforward and neither is trying to work out the exact amount. CCQ's in the context of the sentence above: Find out: Do you know who to tip at first? (No) / Do you want to know? (Yes) / Will you learn new information? (Yes) / Is the information already clear to you? (No) Straightforward: Is it easy or simple to know who to tip? (No) / Is it confusing or complicated? (Yes) / Do you understand what to do straight away? (No) Work out: Do you know the exact amount already? (No) / Will you guess or use logic to find the answer? (Use logic / Think)

Tell Ss they are about to read an article and complete their first exercise. Screen share G-forms on the Gist reading task regarding the text on tipping customs around the world.

People tip waiters and waitresses in (most countries). Use response tool to see if Ss had difficulties with any statements in OCFB.

Meaning Show slides on synonym words observed in the text in blue and pink. Do an example to demonstrate they should match the synonyms on the table provided. Share link and tell each Ss which slide is theirs. Tell them they can refer back to the text (article) if they need assistance and give them 2 minutes to complete the task. Answers: Compulsory = Obligatory Pursue = Chase Appropriate = Acceptable Certainly = Definitely Precise = Exact Just = Simply Check answers together and ask CCQ's on words without cognates: Pursue/ chase: Are you trying to get something? (Yes) / Do you stop quickly? (No) / Do you keep going over time? (Yes) To reassure understanding of new words, I'll ask students to complete one more exercise on the slides using the synonyms from the previous task. Assign a slide per student and tell them they have another 2 minutes. Answers: 1. appropriate 2. precise 3. certainly / compulsory 4. pursued Form Show Google slide and ask students to write the appropriate form for each synonym pair on the table provided. Mention that I have added the three words we reviewed at the beginning of the class (find out/ straightforward / work out). Each students gets a slide and works on the task for about 2 minutes. Monitor if they correctly discerned between adverbs and adjectives as well as verbs and phrasal verbs. Answers: 1. adjectives 2. verbs 3. Adjectives 4. adverbs 5. adjectives 6. adverbs 7. phrasal verb / verb 8. adjectives 9. phrasal verbs Elicit one of the students to tell the class the difference between an adverb and an adjective. Ask: Does anyone know the difference between these two forms? CCQ's: Is an adjective describing a noun? (Yes) / Is it describing a verb? (No) / Does an adverb describe a verb? (Yes) / What about another adverb or an adjective (Yes) Show example from the exercise - simple vs simply and ask: which is the adjective and which is the adverb? Mention a useful way to distinguish between the two is to ask themselves: If it answers "What kind of...?" It's probably an adjective. If it answers "How?", "When?", "Where?", or "How much?" It's probably an adverb. Check if they successfully identified "Find out, work out and figure out" as phrasal verbs. CCQ's: Can you switch the preposition on a phrasal verb? (No) / Does it change the meaning if we do? (Yes). "Work out" (calculate) and "work in" are not the same.
