Make two sets of cards of irregular verbs, one with
the infinitive on them (Set A), and one with the past
simple on them (Set B). Put all the cards face down
at the front of the class. Ask a S to pick up two cards
at random. The S should read aloud the verbs on the
cards. If they match, he or she keeps the cards. If
the class and puts them back, face down in the pile.
A second S tries to get a matching pair in the same
way.
The winner is the S with the most cards when all the
cards have been picked up.
Alternatively, especially with larger classes, this can
be played in groups of four, with each group making
their own sets of cards.

must have an anti-

New school – new problems

bullying policy
that is regularly
reviewed.
William is fifteen years old. From
the age of eleven to fourteen
he went to a secondary school
near Oxford. He liked the school
and he was happy there. He was
clever and he loved Maths and
computers. He started an after-
school computer club and he had
some good friends. Then his father
got a new job in London and
William changed to a new school.
The new school was bigger and
he was the youngest and smallest
boy in his class. Some of the older
boys laughed at him and called him
names. Their favourite name was
‘geek’, because he liked computers
and was good at Maths. They
teased him about his glasses. He
had one friend in his class called
Jack but Jack never helped him.
He was too scared. One day before
school, Carl, one of the older boys,
said: ‘William, give me your Maths
homework. I want to copy it before
the lesson.’
William said nothing and gave his
homework to Carl but he was very
upset. He didn’t know what to do.

NEW WORDS

• change(d) • laugh(ed) at

Comprehension
2 Read the article again. Say ‘New school’ or ‘Old school’.
1 William went there for three years.
2 Other students didn’t like his clothes.
3 He started a computer club.
4 He liked the school.
5 His friend didn’t help.

‘I want to help William but
the boys are bigger and
stronger than me. What if
they start to bully me?’
Carl
‘Why is William upset?
It’s just a bit of fun and
he’s really not cool!’
SPEAKING TIP:
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Speak as simply as possible.
Use words you know and
keep your sentences short.
Don’t try to be complicated.
Now do Exercise 3.
Extension
If appropriate for your class, you may wish to extend
the discussion about school bullying and develop
a free discussion activity. Ss may like to discuss
how bullying is handled in their own school. Any
discussion of Ss’personal experiences of bullying
should, naturally, be handled sensitively.
4d
Speak your mind!
3 Look at some advice for William. Number the advice from the
best to the worst: 1 = the best, 5 = the worst. Then compare
your answers with other students.
A: I think Jan’s advice is the best.
B: I don’t agree. I think Pia’s advice is better than Jan’s.
• Don’t give the boys your homework.Talk to your friends. They
can help you.
(Claudina, Milan)
• Give them your homework. They’re bigger than you.
(Jan, Glasgow)
• Tell your parents and your teachers about the bullying.
(Tomek, Warsaw)
• Buy some cooler glasses and don’t talk about computers.
(Michelle, Liverpool)
• Take judo classes or go to a gym and get stronger!
(Pia, Buenos Aires)
