Identifying communicative aims

10 WORD CREATION

•  The aim is for students to learn one way in which 

nouns can be formed from adjectives and extend their 

vocabulary.

•  Students complete the sentences individually and then 

compare in pairs. Check answers as a whole class. 

•  Tell students to think about the pronunciation of the 

nouns. Ask 

What is the rule? (The main stress is always 

on the syllable before the -

ity ending).

Answers

1 speciality  2 activity  3 possibility  4 popularity

11 PHRASEBOOK

•  Ask students to look through the unit to find the 

expressions, and look at how they are used. Be ready to 

help as necessary.

•  Play the recording, pausing after each expression for 

students to repeat.

•  Students can add expressions they like to their Personal 

Phrasebooks.

•  Ask students to work in pairs to make up the five-line 

dialogue. Invite some pairs to act out their dialogues in 

front of the class.
