Activity 1:
1 Ask Ss to look at the title of the conversation and the picture. Ask them some questions:
• What do you think the people in the conversation are talking about?
• How do you understand the title ‘Preserving the past’?
Ss answer the questions as a class. Play the recording and have Ss follow along.
a./ Ss work independently. Encourage them to answer the questions without looking back at the conversation. Then allow Ss to share answers. Check their answers as a class.







b./ Ask Ss to find the expressions in the conversation and read the context where they appear to make sure that they understand the meanings of the expressions correctly. Ss then do the matching. Correct the answers as a class. Ask Ss if they can think of some more expressions with the same meaning.
c./ Have Ss work independently to find the most suitable response to each item. Ss can then exchange their answers. T checks as a class and explains the answers where necessary.

Activity 2:
Make sure Ss understand the meaning of the words/phrases in the box. T can ask them to give some examples to show that they understand the phrase ‘technological changes’. Ss then work independently to complete the sentences. Have them share their answers in pairs. Then elicit the answers from the whole class.
Activity 3:
Have Ss work in small groups to come up with as many past events and practices in their areas as possible.
Give the groups a time limit, for example, five minutes. Have them present the list they have made to the class. As a whole class, decide if these practices were specific to their region or neighbourhood or were also practised elsewhere.
