Listening - Speaking activity - At the restaurant
First just listen to the video to complete the dialogue. Then we will watch it to verify the answer.
Gap-fill exercise
Fill in all the gaps, then press "Check" to check your answers. Use the "Hint" button to get a free letter if an answer is giving you trouble. You can also click on the "[?]" button to get a clue. Note that you will lose points if you ask for hints or clues!
Once we completed the conversation, the last part of the activity will be to practise the dialogue in groups of three. You can change the type of food if you like.
Reading Activity - Lisa Likes Exercising
The below story is in the incorrect order. Read the different paragraphs and write the text in your notepad in the correct order.
It’s a different story for Lawrence. His belly is too fat and he’d like to lose some weight. The problem is that he hates exercising! Bridgette has trouble too. Her legs are stiff and it’s especially difficult for her to bring her knee to her chest. She doesn’t like that stretch at all. “Don’t let the fatigue take hold. Just 5 more minutes. Let’s run some laps in the gym. Don’t forget to bring your heels right up to your bottom. Hop, hop, hop.”
By the end of the class, everyone is out of breath and sweat is dripping from Lawrence’s forehead. The class is over for this week and everyone is exhausted.
At first, Lisa had terribly sore muscles after class – especially her thighs – but she’s used to it now. Since she started going to the gym she also has less back pain, her muscles are stronger and she feels fit and healthy. She likes exercising.
Lisa goes to the gym every Thursday. She likes group fitness classes and her favourite is aerobics. It’s always such a good workout and the instructor is full of energy. When everyone is tired and sweaty, she yells “Arms up over your head and put your hands together, that´s right, now bend your knees and hold 1 • 2 • 3.”
