Post-listening tasks

1. Put students into groups and tell them to make their own radio advertisement. They should

choose a leisure activity (e.g. playing tennis), invent the place (e.g. Sun Valley Tennis Club)

and write the text for a radio advertisement. Explain they should include the opening and

closing times too. They should try to make their advertisement as ÒcatchyÓ as they can. You

may wish to photocopy the recording script for them to use as a guide (point out that key

information is often repeated in this kind of advertisement, and tell students to do the same).

Give groups time to create their advertisement, providing help where necessary. When they

finish, tell students to practice reading aloud their advertisement and encourage them to use

sound effects where possible. Then have each group present their advertisement to the class.

(If possible, you may wish to record each advertisement onto cassette and then play them all

to the class). After each one, ask questions to review key information and check students

understand what is being advertised. The class should then finish by voting for the best

advertisement.

2. Put students into groups and tell them to make a list of all the leisure activities they can think

of. Give them a time limit of one minute, then ask one group to write all their ideas on the

board. Tell the rest of the class to check spelling and call out any additional leisure activities

they know. Review spelling and then model pronunciation as students repeat in a choral

drill. Put students into groups and tell them to talk about which leisure activities they enjoy.

They should say when and where they do each activity, and explain the reasons why they

enjoy it.
