Activity 3 Ask two students to read out the example conversation. Using this as a model, describe another person from the photos using some of the new adjectives from Exercise 2. Students play the guessing game in pairs.
Possible answers A: He’s tall and middle-aged. He’s got dark hair. B: Is it Grace’s dad?
Activity 4 Explain to students they are going to find out what type of people Lucas, Alfie and Grace are. Read out the first item and ask students to give you the correct answer. Ask them how they decided (by reading the following sentence, which gives an example of a person being polite: he always says please). Students complete the exercise in pairs. Play the recording, pausing after
each item. Check the answers and the meaning of the adjectives. Ask students to find other adjectives in the sentences (clever, great and lazy) and check meaning.
Answers 1 polite 2 funny 3 friendly 4 careless 5 miserable 6 confident
Activity 5 Go through the adjectives in the box and drill pronunciation. In pairs, students find the opposite adjectives in Exercise 4. Check answers.
Answers careful – careless cheerful – miserable rude – polite serious – funny shy – confident unfriendly – friendly
Activity 6 Model the activity by describing yourself to the class. Choose a confident student and ask ‘What about you?’ Encourage them to use at least three adjectives. The student who answered then asks a classmate, and so on until several students have described themselves.
