Teacher tells students they're going to listen to a conversation between the two people in the picture and write down the words missing in the text. The recording will be played once. Students will be given one minute to check their words before they compare in pairs. After checking in pairs the class will elicit feedback from them. If there is a situation of lack of consensus, the teacher will play the recording for the second time.
The teacher will ask students to discuss in pairs what they notice when they look and read the sentences with and without the added words. As for the feedback the teacher will elicit opinions from students. If need be, the teacher will add or clarify more.
