Teacher’s Guide• Aim: Grammar: avoiding repetition• Use slide 2 as a lead-in. Tell them you’ll be talking about movies and ask

the whole group if they like going to the cinema. Pre-teach vocabulary from slide 2. Then pair sts up so they can discuss the questions

• Collect some feedback (e.g. ask all the “film buffs” to raise their hands).• Divide class in 2 or 3 groups. Use slide 3 to explain the game and slide 4 to

model it. • Hand out the accompanying worksheet and give groups 7 minutes to

negotiate their collective answers. • Now the real game begins. Give each group a marker.The group must send

out a different person at a time to write the answer on the board. The first correct answer scores 2 points. If it’s grammatically correct, but not the same as in the movie, it’s worth only 1 point.

• Ask sts if they have seen those movies and how they would rate them from 1 to 10.
