Margie Donaldson. The aim of the task is for students to realize about the use of simple present. 2. Say the verbs: In this exercise, students read the texts again and listen to the pronunciation of some underlined third person singular present simple verbs. Then students can record their own pronunciation of those verbs. 3. Let’s practise!: Now, students do some listening comprehension practice with a fill in the gaps activity for them to use prepositions and third person singular present simple verbs. 4. Speaking: this activity consists of students recording their own speeches about the life of three new characters. 5. Writing: now they can write a paragraph about somebody they know well, such as a member of their family or a friend. 6. Repeat: now students are presented with three simple present questions and their corresponding answers. They listen to their pronunciation, paying attention as well to intonation and rhythm and then, they record them. 7. Can your remember?: this activity reminds students of the structure of present simple questions with a drag and drop task. 8. Make sentences: now students must write their own questions and answers using the information provided in the charts, in order to revise present simple questions. 9. Let’s talk!: this activity proposes a dialogue between the student and a character from the computer. Based on sample recorded prompts, students record the correct questions to be asked to the character, who will answer them. 10.

Let’s drill it!: this is a traditional drill activity for students to listen and repeat sentences regarding what some people do in their jobs. 15. A long-distance job: this activity needs Internet connection. It consists of watching a video clip describing a typical day in the life of the character presented. 16. Comprehension: a listening comprehension activity about the information from previous exercise. 17. Against the clock!: this exercise is for students to practise producing simple present questions and revise times. 18. Dave Marshall’s day: students listen to three messages from people involved in Mr Marshall’s day, one his colleagues, the train ticket inspector and his wife. They watch and listen to the messages. This activity requires Internet connection. 19. Messages!: This time students must complete the messages they have just heard; they can watch and listen to them again. 20. Who? Where?: now they must decide who said each message and where the person who said it was at the time. 21. Recording: it’s time for students to record the messages they have been working with so far. They can listen to them and repeat them.

22. What time is it?: students will revise different ways of expressing the time with this fill in the gaps activity. 23. Tell me the time: now students have a dialogue with the computer. The character asks them questions about times and they must answer them following sample patterns.

CHAPTER TWO – FREE TIME 1. Presentation: In this exercise, students revise the days of the week. They listen to their pronunciation and read their spelling. 2. Meet Mr. King: Next, students read a text about a new character, Mr. King, and a typical day in his life. 3. Can you remember: students identify verbs from the previous text and match them with their corresponding meanings, moving them up and down until they are placed next to the correct meaning. 4. Tom King’s weekends: this exercise provides students with a video clip where Mr. King’s free time activities are described. The activity requires Internet connection. They can also read the text, if needed. In the second part, they must fill in the gaps with the missing information. 5. Grammar tips: students now read the text from the previous exercise and must identify third person singular simple present verbs. 6. What about you?: students read and listen to present simple questions about free time activities as well as their corresponding short answers. They must repeat them and record their voice. 7.
