Attendance

Let's first see if everybody is here...

Please, give me a moment to do this.

I can also practise your names this way.

Game 1: Two Truths and a Lie 🕵️‍♂️

Can you guess which story about your teacher is fake? Let's find out!

1. [Fact 1 - e.g., I have a giant dog named Bobby]

2. [Fact 2 - e.g., I have visited Australia twice]

3. [Lie - e.g., I am a secret professional Call of Duty player]

➡️ TASK: Discuss with your neighbor. You have exactly 2 minutes to decide!

The FCE Escape Room Challenge 🗝️

The Cambridge FCE Exam has 4 parts (Papers). You must beat them all to escape.

• Work in groups of 4 students.

• Open Envelope 1. Read carefully and complete the assignment.

• Show your answer to the teacher to get your secret code letter.

• Move to the next envelope once you succeed.

• The first team to crack the 4-letter code wins the grand prize!

⏱️ TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes! GO, GO, GO!

⏱️ Time is Ticking... Focus!

Work together, keep your voices down, and complete your papers:

✉️ Envelope 1: Reading & Use of English (Match the characters)

✉️ Envelope 2: Writing (The team relay race story)

✉️ Envelope 3: Listening (The whispering game challenge)

✉️ Envelope 4: Speaking (Find similarities and differences)

🤫 Shhh... Agents work in secret. Do not leak answers to other teams!

Code Cracked! 🏆

The Magic Word Was: PASS

You just experienced the 4 real papers of the Cambridge FCE exam!
• Reading & Use of English = Spotting language clues

Conclusion: You are fully capable of doing Cambridge English!

Before You Leave... 🎟️

Write down the answers to these two questions on your sticky note.
