POSSIBLE ANSWERS

1: It seems that there is a quiz on the stage and the candidates are very nervous. Maybe it's a close match.

2: All of them are dressed very formally so I think it's a serious contest and each of the two candidates presents a group.

Step III Listening

First have the Ss listen to the tape, then ask the Ss to answer the questions. At last, get them to present the answers publicly to check them with the whole class.

Play the tape once for the students to get the main idea of the material. The second time, the students are required to write down some key words of the answers, then ask some of them to present their answers. Play the tape for a third time to let them correct their answers and complete Part 3. Finally, ask the students to work in pairs, asking and answering the questions in Part 3 according to the listening material.

Step IV Word study

Part 4 can be used as a little competition to see who is good at mastering the meanings of the words. Dividing the class into two parts. Teachers can read the definition out and each group are encouraged to spell the word with the book closed. The winner will be praised.
