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

I will ask the students to divide into groups ask half of the groups to complete the sentence Before exam its good idea to .....in as many ways as possible and the half to complete the sentence Before exam its bad to ....e.g its a good idea to have lots of short breaks and relax. its a bad idea to worry and give students ideas if necessary regroup students and put them into pairs so that each pair one student has its a good idea sentence and the others has its a bad idea sentence .... students compare their ideas

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

students will continue working in pairs or groups of 3 and i will hand out sets of the reading exercise cut into different sentences chunks they will need to arrange the sentences chunks in the correct order with their partner i will give them 2-4 to do this when they have done this i will ask them to choose an appropriate title for the text

While-Reading/Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

this time i will ask students to read the passage more closely and individually
