How much will it cost?
1
Begin by asking students if they ever make calls from public
phone boxes.
Students should try and answer the questions about their
home country. If you are teaching a monolingual group in
their own country, you can discuss the answers and make
sure that everyone agrees with them.
If you are teaching a multilingual group in an English-speaking
environment, you could tell students to imagine that you are
visiting their country. Students could change
US
in questions
b and c to another country if necessary.
2
Encourage students to skim the text. In order to encourage
this, set a time limit, e.g. 20 seconds, for the exercise.
If some students say that section 5 is also about paying for
calls, explain that these payments are payments for using
Directory Enquiries and not for actual phone calls.
Focus on … nouns and verbs
Remind students that the context usually makes clear whether a
word is a noun or a verb.
When students have done the exercises, ask them if they can
think of any other words which are both nouns and verbs. You
can point to your hand, head and watch – these three words are
all verbs as well as nouns. Ask students to look through the unit
for other examples:
buy, pay, change, text, talk
and
cross
are in
Section A;
ring
is the verb in the unit title.
3
After students have completed the chart and checked their
answers, ask them to fi nd out how much the phone call
would cost if they spoke for 30 minutes and if they paid with
coins (50p – 40p for the fi rst 20 minutes + 10p for each
subsequent 10 minutes) and by credit card (£7.00 – £1.20
for the fi rst minute, 20p x 29 minutes = £5.80).
