Chapter 14 ----First lesson in a new class [30 gaps]

There are now two Spanish students in Anne Evan’s class. Arturo from

the north of Spain and Rosa from Madrid. Anne is happy to have twelve

students because they can all do pairwork! Rosa is happy because the

level is more difficult. On the board, there is a list of irregular verbs in

the Past Simple:

Anne gives her students very clear instructions:

"I’d like Rosa to sit next to Yukiko so that _______ got six _________. You all

have a copy of the ________ of words on the _________. I’m going to tell you a

short story. Listen carefully and _________ the words you hear."

Rosa does not have a ________ of the word list, but Yukiko is very kind. The

two students share one ________________. They do not ____________ their teacher.

Anne starts her story:

"Yesterday, on my way home from school, I lost all my ___________.

Suddenly, I felt very ____________, but at the same moment I saw an

interesting ________. It said: FREE FOOD, THIS WAY! The sign led to a

nice ________________, but it was closed. I rang the door _________. Nobody came so I

went inside. On the first table, there were three ______________ of sushi. I ate two

of them. Then I heard the ___________ of a taxi. A large man got out. He had

two _____________ of saki in his hands. I became ___________ and hid under the table.

I lay there for ____________ an hour while the large man stood by the door. Then

I woke up. The man by the door was my husband. He told me that it was

morning and that I was in my own ______________. In his hands, he had two

cups of strong, black coffee."

Anne is a good _____________ and her lessons have a lot of ____________. The students

have to tell the same story ___________ to their pairwork ______________, but first they

have to ask questions in the Past Simple. Anne is listening ________________ to her

new student. She tells Rosa that there are two ___________ of questions with the

______________ WHO, WHAT, HOW MUCH and HOW MANY . Then she

writes some __________________ on the board for all the class to see:
