4–6 Students can do these exercises in pairs. They can either 
work together, or they can work on their own and then 
compare answers.
Class bonus
Make sure that students can say the charges in the leafl et. 
Write some of the fi gures on the board and ask students to say 
them. Leave the fi gures on the board. After students have done 
the pairwork, ask them to look at the fi gures you wrote on the 
board and to say what they refer to, e.g. 5 pence – People who 
are under 18 pay 5 pence per day for the fi rst week a book is 
overdue
.
7 After students have written the answers to their questions, 
they can work with a partner and ask and answer the 
questions.
Focus on … word families
Before students do the exercises, give one or two examples of 
word families, e.g. read/reader/reading/readable, discover/
discovery/discovered
.
More activities
1 Ask students to make word families of their own. 
Encourage them to look in their dictionaries and fi nd 
related nouns, verbs and adjectives, e.g. satisfaction 
(noun), satisfy (verb), satisfactory (adjective). They could 
also look for adverbs, i.e. satisfactorily.
2 If there is a school library, ask students to explain how it 
works. For example, do you need to be a member, or can 
any student use the library? How long can you keep a 
book?
