Revision of the vocabulary

Level: Any
Time: 10 minutes
Take one of the vocabulary exercises from the original Milestones worksheet and repeat it as an oral 
exercise. Tell the students to turn over their worksheet. Start calling out the questions or cues. The 
students must call out answers. Use this time to monitor pronunciation of the new words or phrases.
Level: Any
Time: 15 minutes
Tell students you are going to give them a quick test to see how much they remember from the news 
article they read in the previous class. There are two ways of doing this.
1) Read the comprehension check questions aloud and ask the students to write down the answers on a 
piece of paper.
2) Make some new questions relating to the text.
One easy way of making new questions on the Milestones text would be to make a quick True/False 
exercise, one question per milestone. For example:
Anaesthesia became a symbol of the humanitarian movement – true or false? (true)
Antibiotics were first used widely by the United States in the First World War – true or false? (false)
Once students have finished, ask them to check their answers in the text. This is also good for any 
student who ‘missed’ the first class with the reading.
