Look at the fi rst question with the class. Students can then 
fi nd the answers to the other questions in the text. 
Did you know …?
If you are teaching European students in Britain, you could ask 
them if they have ever used euros in Britain. Where did they use 
them, and what for?

Discuss the advice with the class. Ask students if they would 
give the same advice to people who were using public 
phones in their own country.
More activities
If you are teaching a monolingual group in their own country, 
ask students to look at the instructions in a public telephone 
box. Are the instructions given in English? In what other 
places in the town/city can they fi nd information in English? 
Encourage them to read any information/instructions in 
English whenever they can.
