Reading practice: exam texts

Start reading, underline the answers in the text

Work in silence, individually: 15 mins

Which strategies will you use?

With your partner:

1. Check your answers, discuss differences
2. Count: how many titles in the handout contain a pun?
3. Do one text together

Finished? Speak English: mad, sad, glad

Puns: next slide

Text 4: cheers and jeers (rhymes, means 'positive and negative reactions')

Text 6: down the youtubes ('down the tubes' = to fail completely)

Text 8: here and back again (ref. to The Hobbit (novel by Tolkien), where it meant going on an adventure and then back home again)

Text 9: revenge is a dish better left unmade (the saying is: 'revenge is a dish best served cold'. Meaning: don't get immediate revenge, but be patient and wait for the right moment - OR: let things cool off first (and then maybe let it go)

Text 10: Hot talk-show. 'Hot' has multiple meanings (spicy, intense, popular, 'too hot to handle')

To do now:

1. Check your answers (Teams)

2. Listen to the video 'tekstverklaren'

3. Practise linking words: use the links

I will send the information in Teams
