Review: listening, a dialog and questions
This review uses new texts, not the ones in your book. To answer listening questions, listen once for the big picture and once for details such as days, places and numbers. Write short notes while you listen. For a dialog, read the whole conversation first and then answer. Check each question word: When asks for a time, Who asks for a person, What asks for a thing or an action, Why asks for a reason. Remember what you learned in Units 1 to 3: the present continuous for now and for fixed plans (We are visiting the museum on Monday), question words, polite opinions (I understand, but …) and time expressions. When you answer, use a short sentence with words from the question, and check that your answer is true according to the text.
| Question word | Listen or look for | Example answer |
|---|---|---|
| When | a day or a time | On Tuesday. |
| Who | a person | A parent who works with computers. |
| What | a thing or action | They play games outside. |
| Why | a reason with because | Because it is quiet. |
Good afternoon, everyone. Next week is Digital Week at our school. On Monday a guest will show us how to choose a strong password. On Tuesday the students are making short safety posters. On Wednesday we are not using phones during break; instead we will play games outside. On Thursday a parent who works with computers is visiting to answer our questions. On Friday we are having a quiet reading hour. Please bring a book from home.
I’m writing a survey about free-time habits. How do students balance screen time and sport?
Good idea! Maybe I should answer too. I play football three times a week, but I also watch videos.
That sounds like a good balance.
Thanks. Will you share the results?
Yes, I’ll show them to the class next week.
Mini survey. Write three questions about free-time habits for family members (for example: What do you do after school? How long do you read each day?). Ask three people and write their answers in short sentences. Tell a grown-up what you found out.
