Warmer/Lead-in (3-8 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

Have you ever attended any sports events? What were they? Did you enjoy them? Are they important events? If so, how are they important? Ss look at the photos, tell me the names of the sports they show. Can you identify the famous events? (teacher doesn't give away the answers.) Ss look through the text quickly and to match the photos and check their predictions. (Teacher shows the answers on the board.) What else do you know about the events?

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Exercise 1b- Ss read and listen to complete the text with the missing months and years. Then they compare answers in pairs. Ss listen again and check their answers.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (10-15 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Exercise 2a - Ss work in groups of four. Teacher assign one event to each group. Ss copy the chart and each group works together to find the info to complete it. Ss make three more copies of the blank chart. Teacher makes new group of four, comprising members of each previous group. Ss share the info with one another and complete the charts for all events. T checks and collates all the info in a summary chart on the smart board with itools, showing all four events.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (2-3 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

Exercise 2b- Ss read the text again and answer the question. Which of the events are the oldest in the world? Answer: The FA Cup and Wimbledon.

Listening (5-7 minutes) • Listen to four people talking about their favourite sports events.

T tells ss that they are going to hear Emma, George, Lucy and Max talking about their favourite sports events. Ss read questions to find out what they will look for: What's their favorite event? Why do they watch it? Ss make a chart for 4 people. T- Play and pause the recording after each speaker to allow ss to write down their answers. Ss compare in pairs before teacher check with the class.

Post-Reading/Listening (2-3 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

Ss make a list of important sports events in their country. Each student chooses one event and complete a chart about that event. Then they use their information charts to write a paragraph about their chosen event for homework.
