More activities
You could also ask students to scan the text and fi nd the 
word jargon (jargon-free is in paragraph 8). Elicit the 
meaning of jargon (special words and phrases which are 
used by particular groups of people, especially in their 
work) and jargon-free (without jargon). Ask students what 
other nouns can be used with -free in this way. You could 
encourage them to fi nd out this information and to suggest 
collocations before the next lesson. (Examples include: 
alcohol-free [drink], dairy-free [produce], duty-free [goods], 
fat-free [milk], frost-free [winter], lead-free [petrol], nuclear-
free [zone], rent-free [accommodation], risk-free [venture], 
smoke-free [zone], tax-free [goods].)
 You could also point 
out that carefree is unhyphenated and means ‘having no 
problems or worries’.
