A family photo of myself to lead-in will be used. Followed by a mini discussion about the family and living with the family. Next I will show Andy's picture and ask them what they think of him. Sts will discuss in pairs for 2-3 minutes about "The age of an adult leaving the family home and getting married".

Pre-Reading/Listening (Gist Task) (10-12 minutes) • The aim is to prepare students for the text through gist task and make it accessible and gain confidence for detailed reading. The aim is also getting the Sts focus on a general understanding of the text.
