SS listen to the recording again and fill in the table. (solo) SS check their answers (PW). FB: divide SS in two groups. One group is Charlie (give them his picture), another one - Sandra (give them her picture). One SS from each group comes up to the WB, ticks the expression mentioned by their speaker and passes the marker to another S from his/her group. (WC) The group which finishes with the correct answers first wins. x

Post-Listening (6-8 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned
