Focus on … this and these

words are determiners in Exercise 1 and pronouns in Exercise 2.

More activities
1
Students could fi nd out about studying in another 
country of their choice. Ask students about international 
universities in their own country. Which universities are 
most frequented by foreigners? Are grants available to 
study in their country?
2
Brainstorm words connected with education. Students 
can work in groups to write a list. Set a time limit. When 
the time limit is up, students take it in turns to say a word. 
Build up a class list on the board. Then ask a student to 
make a sentence about education with one of the words 
on the board. Rub this word off the board before asking 
someone else to make a sentence with another word. 
Continue in this way until you have rubbed off all the 
words from the board.
