Show pictures of Mexico City and play the Mariachi song and ask them to discuss it in pairs. And get them to share everything they know about Mexico. Brainstorm ideas and thoughts.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Get Sts to do ex.a making brief notes while they read. Sts then summarise the text with a partner using their notes for guidance.
