Procedures

I. Warming up and listening

So far we have read a story about Elias. Do you remember why it was difficult for him to get a job? (because he hadn't a passbook) what is a passbook? Why is it important? Let's listen to a short passage and find out.

Turn to page 37. Read the questions and choose the best answer after listening.

Discuss the questions in Ex. 2.

II. Guided reading

1. Reading and answering questions

As we know, in order to support Mandela, Elias helped him blow up some government buildings. Can you imagine what would happen to him if he was caught? Actually, he was caught and put into a prison on Robben Island. However, he was lucky enough to get help from Mandela even when he was in prison.

Turn to Page 38, read the passage quickly and find out:

How did Mandela helped Elias when he was on Robben Island

How did Mandela help Elias after he came to power?
