Activity 1 Peter was on holiday with a friend in Scotland last summer. They were
looking for the Loch Ness monster. Listen and answer the question.
Before the students listen, ask them to read the instructions. Ask ‘Where was Peter last
summer?’ ‘Was he alone?’ ‘What were they looking for?’ Point out that the students are
going to listen to Peter telling a strange story. Play the recording and ask them to say
what the weather was like.
Answers
It was foggy.
Ask the students to read the questions and try to answer them before they listen again.
With a mixed ability class, it may be necessary to play the recording for a third time and
to pause it after each answer is given. If time allows, ask the students retell the story
using their answers to these questions to help them. Strong students can retell the story
from Peter’s friend’s perspective, e.g. I was sleeping in my tent when Peter started
shouting. He wanted the camera, so I … .

IV. Post-activity
Activity 1 What other stories about strange animals do you know? Do you know
the names of any mythological animals?
Invite a class discussion about strange animals in the students’ area or country by asking
‘Do you know any stories about strange animals?’ ‘Are there any strange animals in the
forest, mountains or lakes near here?’ ‘What do you know about them?’ The students
may know of a local Cyclops, a witch, a werewolf, etc. If they are short of ideas, either
ask them to find information online or to make up a story.Allow the students time to
read the questions on their own and then to make notes. Introduce some language to
express interest, e.g. Really? Yeah! That’s awesome!
No! You’re joking! I don’t believe you! Then in pairs, the students take turns to tell
their own story and to listen. When they listen to their partner, they should express
interest by using some of the language to express interest.

Joe lives in a flat on the 20th floor. Every morning when Joe goes to school, he leaves
his flat, calls the lift and takes it down to the ground floor. When he comes home, he
gets in and pushes the button for the 16th floor. He gets out there and walks up to his
flat on the 20th floor. Why?
Invite suggestions from the class. (Joe is only eight and is too small to reach the button
for the 20th floor.)
