5. Aim: To help Ss practise speaking about a famous sportsperson in 4.
– Have Ss work in pairs or groups. Have them take turns to talk about their chosen sportsperson
– Let them have freedom to choose what information to mention. (They can skip some points, or add some of their own.)
– While Ss are talking, T goes round the class and monitors. Remember not to stop them in order to correct their mistakes.
– When the talking time is over, T collects common errors and discusses them with the whole class.
Further practice:
– If there is enough time, have Ss work in pairs. One student is an interviewer and the other is a famous sportsperson. Ss role-play an interview.
– T and Ss can brainstorm possible interview questions before the activity.
