If you have used Unit 2

Students can do this exercise in pairs. They can help each 
other to work out the meaning of any unknown words in 
italics, and then ask and answer the questions.

Look at the example with the class. Ask students to fi nd the 
information in the description of the Dolphin package which 
gives this information. 
Check the answers with the class. Ask one student to read out 
the fi rst sentence in each pair and another student to read 
out the second sentence.
Learning tip
A chart is provided in Exercise 3 for students to complete. 
Explain that students should consider making their own charts 
when they read certain texts.

Look at the examples in the chart with the class. Ask students 
to scan the text and fi nd out how many minutes to any 
network at any time you get with Dolphin. Elicit or explain the 
meaning of 
cross network
(from one network to another).
Students can do this exercise in pairs. They can either work 
together to complete the chart, or they can work on their own 
and then compare answers.

Class bonus
Tell students to choose one of the packages and to read this 
description again carefully. Go around the class and make sure 
that more than one person has chosen each package.
Students can work with several different partners. Tell them to 
describe the same package each time.
