It’s fantastic.

Carla It’s The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

Bob Yes, that’s right. Next question. Which actors played the part of Clary Fray and Jace Weyland, the two main characters?

Bob Yes! Well done. Now for the last question. This is a difficult one, OK. Carla OK. Bob There is lots of great music in The Mortal Instruments.

Who sang the song Magnetic?

Carla Oh, hang on. I know this … It’s on the tip of my tongue … Jessie J! Bob Yes! Well done Carla. You really are a Mortal Instruments fan. Tell me Carla, what first attracted you to the film?

Carla Well, I read the books first. I thought they were fantastic. When they made the film I didn’t expect it to be very good. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes when they make film adaptations from books … well, they are sometimes disappointing.

Bob So, were you disappointed when you saw The Mortal Instruments?

Carla Oh no! Not at all. I thought it was fantastic. The characters were exactly as I imagined them. It was really great.

Bob Carla, they based the film on the first book in the series. How many books are there?

Carla There are six books. They started making the second film recently, based on the second book, City of Ashes.

I can’t wait to see it!

Betty That’s the book about vampires?

Kate No, it’s about love.

Betty Kate, you know I don’t like such books.

Kate Just read it! I’ll bring it to school for you.

Zadanie testujące 1.56 Tell students that they are going to listen to four people talking about some films and TV programmes. They have to match the speakers 1–4 to the sentences A–E. There is one extra sentence which does not match any speaker. Get students to read the sentences first. If necessary, check that students understand the meaning of the sentences.

Draw their attention to the TIP which says that they should not base their matching answer on the first sentence they hear. They should listen to the very end of each speaker’s utterance. Play the recording and then give students enough time to compare their answers in pairs. Play the recording again for students to check their answers in pairs and then check answers as a class.

If a class is more advanced and independentminded, give students 2–3 minutes to read the task quietly without giving any clues or suggestions.

Play the recording twice. Students listen and complete the task. Check the answers as a class.

This procedure is designed to give the students an idea of how they can deal with a listening task in a quasi-exam situation.

1.56 Audioscript Zadanie testujące, p53 1 Watching films is a kind of Friday evening tradition in my family. Every week my brother chooses something from an online film rental service. We all sit in the living room, with a big bowl of popcorn and some nachos, turn down the lights and watch a film together. I really enjoy it, but I’m not so happy when my brother chooses a documentary film, they’re pretty boring for me.

2 It’s hard for me to say what my favourite TV programmes are, as I hardly ever watch TV. I simply prefer online series or some YouTube films. I loved watching makeovers a few years ago, but now I find them boring. In fact I don’t understand why some people still watch them, because they’re all the same. But I still enjoy some music programmes and watch them from time to time.

3 I enjoy watching TV. The most interesting programmes for me are real life situations from some exotic places, you know, like live reports from Africa. I also like interviews with famous people, celebrities and their families, and all types of chat shows in which people tell the stories of their lives or discuss the problems they have.

▶ Życie rodzinne i towarzyskie ▶ Kultura 4 I usually spend my free time doing some sport like volleyball or cycling, but I watch TV from time to time. There’s one programme I really enjoy. It’s a makeover in which a famous cook visits different restaurants and changes them. It’s on TV every Saturday morning. Unfortunately, I usually have to argue with my baby brother who wants to watch his cartoons just then. It’s so irritating!

Student’s Book page 54 GENERAL GUIDELINES ON HOW TO WORK WITH THE SELF CHECK SECTION Depending on the group you are teaching, you can approach this section in two ways. If you are working with a weaker or not well-disciplined class, follow the procedure for the Self Check described below, i.e. treat each exercise separately, follow it with feedback and interweave with extra activities. With a class of students who work well autonomously and are self-reliant, set a time limit of about 20 minutes for the students to complete all the exercises. In both cases, after checking the answers, ask the students to count the points for each activity in the section according to the criteria described in the teaching notes. Refer them to the selfassessment box at the bottom of the page to assess their results. Fair and poor grades mean that students need to revise the material again to pass the test, a good grade means satisfactory performance and requires further work on problematic areas only, while very good and excellent grades mean that students have mastered the material from the unit.

AIM To review the language in Unit 4 and earlier by completing simple language exercises. To allow students to self-assess their progress and reflect on their own learning.

Project Film Quiz

1 Students are going to prepare a project – a quiz about films, TV programmes and film stars. Tell students that they are going to work first individually and then in groups of four (or three, depending on the number of students in the class). At this stage each student looks for interesting facts about films, TV programmes and film stars.

2 Put students in groups of four (or three).

Students exchange the pieces of information they have found and decide on the most interesting facts and prepare ten quiz questions. Allow students to make different types of quiz questions, eg yes / no questions, questions with a, b, c answer options provided etc.

3 Tell the groups to make pair of two groups and compete with each other. The groups assign one of their members the role of a leader.

The leaders are going to read the questions prepared by their group to their opponents.
