Explanation
For a dialog, follow the five steps from Review 1: read the whole dialog, read the line before and the line after each gap, check the question type, check the grammar and read it aloud. In this dialog, look for the aim of each line: a suggestion (How about …?), a polite question (Is it okay if …?), agreement (That makes sense), or a report (said that). For word-choice items, look at word parts: un- makes the opposite (fair – unfair), -ful means full of (care – careful), -less means without. For grammar, remember the main points of the term: must (a rule), mustn’t (forbidden), don’t have to (not necessary) and should (advice); although + clause, never although … but; First, Next, Finally with imperatives; said that with the backshift (will → would, can → could, past simple → past perfect); and the past simple for a story. Do the dialog first, then the mixed items.

Speaker
Line
Marwan
We must finish our poster about screen balance by Friday. What’s the first step?
Yara
(1) …
Marwan
Good idea. Is it okay if we ask the other classes too?
Yara
(2) …
Marwan
I think a clock and a book on the poster are a perfect symbol of balance.
Yara
(3) …
Marwan
Then let’s test it on our friends. What did you say about the colours?
Yara
(4) …
Read the dialog with gaps (1) to (4). Choose the best line for each gap in the practice section.
How to choose gap (1): Marwan asks What’s the first step? so the line must name a step in the right order. A good line is First, we should find out what students think. Next lines follow with the other steps.
Word parts: unfair = un- (not) + fair. Careful = care + -ful (full of care). Careless = care + -less (without care).
Now you. Make the opposite of kind and happy with un-, and make an adjective from help with -ful.
Class activity
Grammar mix-up. Write ten sentences about school using all the points of the term (must, mustn’t, although, First, said that, if + past perfect). Give them to a partner with one small mistake in five of them. Your partner finds and corrects the mistakes.
