3 Ss work in groups of four to six to make a list from the most useful to the least useful subjects given. How can the top three subjects on the list help them in other areas of school and life?

After the discussion, each group presents their list, and gives a talk to the class. T then gives comments.

For more able Ss, T may encourage Ss’ imagination to think of other useful subjects (related to music and arts) to be studied at school (for example: pottery).

2 Give Ss plenty of time to work independently, read the passage, and understand the main ideas. Then divide the class into groups of four or five to discuss the questions. T goes round the class to give support if necessary.

After some time, elicit ideas from the groups. Then one student from each group presents their ideas to the class. T gives comments on their clarity, language and fluency, (but not on their ‘positive’ or ‘negative’ ideas).

3 Let Ss work in pairs. Help them interpret the table first. Give them instructions on how to do the task.

(Note: A music club is “friendly” when its staffs are friendly.)

This is a speaking activity so T should encourage Ss to talk as much as possible with fluency and accuracy. E.g.: Young Talent is more friendly/friendlier than Nightingale.

Nightingale is not as friendly as Young Talent, but it is safer. While Ss do their task, T goes round to monitor the whole class.

2 Let Ss do the task individually. First Ss read the text by themselves, then put a suitable word/ phrase in each gap, and compare their answers with a classmate. T corrects Ss' answers (T may call some Ss to read out their answers separately). T gives explanations, if necessary. Let Ss read in chorus. Correct their pronunciation and intonation.

Different types of comparisons and the vocabulary related to them were already studied in Tieng Anh 5 and

Tieng Anh 6, so T may ask Ss to recall what they know and give examples.
