Before the listening 2nd time I will provide the students with the hand out. The students will listen to the whole conversation and while listening they will have to put the points from exercise 2 in correct order. They will do this by numbering each little box beside each point. after 2 min or so of working on the table I will ask students to correct the answers with their partners and will write the answers on the white board.

ask the the students if it is a good idea for companies (or schools) to introduce systems like this? Will provide for students with true or false statements and they will have to chose which are true or false. They will be asked to turn to their neighbor and check their answers with a partner next to them. I will provide them with the correct answers on the white board.

Post stage (4-6 minutes) • speaking

Students will turn to all the people in their table to and ask from ex1 which of the following pieces of information about you are most confidential? and Why?
