• Ask students to work alone to read the text and answer the questions.

• Students can compare answers in pairs before you check them with the class.

• Help weaker students by showing them how to scan a text to find key words. Scanning refers to reading a text quickly to find specific information. For example, to find the answer to Question 1, students need to scan the text to find ‘Duman Entertainment Centre’.

• After you have checked the answers to the exercise, you can extend the task by asking additional questions to test comprehension. For example: Where in Astana does Alina live? (In the city centre.) Does she live in a house? (No, she doesn’t. She lives in an apartment.) How old is she?

(She is 11.) What grade is she in at school? (In the fifth grade.) Where does she go with her friends? (The Duman Entertainment Centre, the swimming pool at the Khan Shatyr Entertainment Centre.)

Digital activity

• Give students time to research a capital city around the world. They should find out about its size and location, things to do and places to visit, and some history and facts about the city.

• In pairs, students then describe the city they researched without naming it, e.g. This city is Europe. It is in the middle of the country. It’s hot in summer and cold in winter. It’s got lots of really interesting museums to visit.

One of them is called El Prado.

• Students try to guess the city their partner describes

For homework, ask students to research a capital city – this city could be anywhere in the world. Students should use the text on page 79 to help them write a short description of the city. Their description should include the following information: the name of the city, some great places you can visit in that city, and what you can do there. Collect and check students’ descriptions in the next lesson.
