Ask students to finish the reading comprehension using Reading Strategies: Reading under pressure.
First ask students if they have any brothers or sisters. If some students have, ask them to tell the class the conflict between brothers or sisters. Then students are asked to finish Ex 1&2 in 10 minutes.
T: Do you have any brothers or sisters? Have you had conflict with your brothers or sisters?
S: I have a twin sister. My parents always buy the same clothes for us. But I hate this. I don't like her to be my shadow. I want freedom. I don't like to share a room with her. She always tells our parents what I did at school. She kicks up a fuss whenever I ask her for help. Each time we quarrel, my parents always say, "You are the elder sister. It is you who should give in." That's unfair to me. I am only three minutes older than her. Things shouldn't go on like this.
T: I'm sorry to hear that. But fighting between sisters and brothers is a normal part of growth. The most important of all is to learn how to deal with the conflict. I think you will learn how to deal with the conflict from the reading text. Now you are given 10 minutes to do the reading comprehension exercises.
Deal with Ex1.
Students are asked to read the text quickly and try to grasp the main idea and then circle the correct answer: a), b) or c). Students should complete the exercise individually.
