Then I 'll ask a student with worksheet A for the answer.I'll write the answer in the gapped sentence. 4-I'll do this with two or three more examples, demonstrating how the students take it in turns to ask and answer questions. Students work in pairs, take turns to ask their partners questions about information on their sheet. * I'll guide them and explain that if necessary, they should ask each other how to spell words. * When they have finished , they check their answers with each other. *Finally, I'll go through the answers with the class as an open class activity.
