When they have given the phrase Then and Now, ask them to look at the picture and the heading Our school in the past and ask them some questions: • Who can you see in the picture? • Where do you think they are? • Is there anything in the small pictures on the wall related to past and present? Ss give their answers as a class. T can write their ideas on the board. Play the recording and have Ss follow along. After that, Ss can compare their answers with the information in the dialogue
Ss work in pairs to label the pictures with the words given. Allow pairs to share their answers before asking them to discuss as a class. Then ask some Ss to read the words/phrases aloud and correct their pronunciation if necessary.


Have Ss work independently. Ss fid the words with the given meaning in the conversation. Then have Ss share their answers with a partner before asking them to discuss as a class.



Ss read the dialogue again to do this exercise. Ss exchange their answers with a classmate. Ask for Ss’ answers as well as the explanation for their choices. Write the correct answers on the board.




Ask Ss to do the exercise without reading the conversation again. Ss compare their answers with a classmate. Now ask them to check their answers by reading the dialogue again. Call on some Ss to give the answers.












Activity 2:
Have Ss read the Remember! box individually. Then go through the points as a class and see if any Ss can make sentences using these adjectives and adverbs. Afterwards, ask Ss to work individually on the gap-fill exercise. Check the answers as a class.
Activity 3:
Now ask Ss to think about their own school’s history. First, have pairs write a couple of questions about the school in the past that they would like to ask T. Then, as a whole class T can answer questions from Ss about the school when she/he started teaching. The aim is to generate a short discussion. Now have Ss work in small groups to talk about the changes to the school. Ask them to use the adjectives and adverbs in Remember! box.
