Have Ss listen to the conversation between Alexis and Joe. Then, number the pictures 1-3.

4. Work on 1d.

Ss are to listen again to the conversation. This time, they are to work on 1d and fill in the blanks with the correct verbs from the box.

Tell Ss that they can also use shorthand as they fill in the blanks.

(Questions 6-8 will be the only ones where Ss can use shorthand: 'll be, 'll fly, 'll live)

Have Ss get into pairs. Student A is Alexis and Student B is Joe.
