exams have no formal listening test with recordings and written responses It is important that you point out to learners that they don’t need to worry too much about the listening tasks for this reason However, success in the interview does depend on listening carefully to the examiner and responding appropriately Take account of the low level of your learners and: – if there is a picture to illustrate the topic, elicit information which will help them prepare for what they will listen to – tell students what kind of conversation they will hear, e.g two children speaking or an examiner speaking to a candidate – play each audio several times if necessary, stopping the audio during the task if needed – follow up the listening with a drill in order to practise the structures and pronunciation Brainstorming vocabulary and ideas Brainstorming is a good way to introduce an activity, and is suggested in this TB because: – it helps to get learners focussed on the topic of the lesson – it helps learners ‘revive’ vocabulary that they know, but haven’t used recently – it gives you a chance to see what your learners know and what knowledge gaps exist Remember that this book is mainly for revisions of language so: – begin each new topic with closed books and try to elicit related vocabulary from learners – give them a specified time limit to work in pairs or groups – students tell you their words and you put them on the board in columns or mind maps or under specific headings/categories – then students open books and the first vocabulary activity as consolidation Use of the board Board prompts are good at this level to support students during speaking tasks and can lessen the ‘memory load’ required of students so that they can concentrate on communicating Prompts can be useful vocabulary items for the task, or reminders of the structures that learners should be using or pronunciation work As the students master the language the teacher can rub off some of the prompts so that students commit the language to memory See the shaded boxes for examples of board work Games Games provide some light relief and fun, but also a genuine context in which to practise language The Teacher’s Book makes a number of suggestions for games in the units: – guessing games, such as I-spy, pictionary, miming – memory games, such as Kim’s game (covering a picture and remembering what’s there) – team games, such as sorting races (pairs or teams sort vocabulary items into groups as quickly as possible) – knock-out games, such as ‘Simon Says’ Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:33 Pagina Methodology notes Modelling It is always a good idea to model each task so that everyone understands what they have to Choose one of the most able learners in the group to work through a few examples with you It is recommended that you this especially for the communication activities that come at the end of each unit Drills Regular language drilling helps students learn the patterns of new structures and is a valuable technique for improving pronunciation A good drill can also liven up a class whose attention or energy is flagging half way through a long lesson There are a variety of drills you can use: – prompt and response drills (e.g question and answer) − you can give the prompt, or you can divide the class into two groups who respond to each other – substitution drills, using flash cards or prompts written on the board – choral drills (all class together) or individual drills (teacher points to learners to respond) – drills with clapping or chants with a strong rhythm (good for word or sentence stress) Trinity Takeaway At the end of each unit, the Trinity Takeaway sections provide the students with useful examiner/candidate language for the exam It’s important that you point out to learners that they mustn’t memorise the minidialogues, but use them as examples of the type of conversation they will have with the examiner There is also a section a the end of the book with further examples of examiner/candidate language, which are recorded After listening, you can: – ask students to read the mini-dialogues out loud to practise question/answer intonation – ask students to write similar mini-dialogues using different vocabulary from the unit Pronunciation Pal In the SB a superhero character presents the pronunciation activity which is connected to the grammar and vocabulary in the unit At this level, it is useful to focus on a few sounds, to establish the basics of good pronunciation All pronunciation exercises are recorded GRADE Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:33 Pagina Lesson A Hello and Goodbye have checked the answers, get learners to practise the dialogue in pairs You could also drill the dialogue with the whole class, with you playing one role and the whole class playing the other Or the same drill, with half the class playing one role and the other half playing the other role 1a page 1c/2d/3e/4a/5b UNIT Nice to meet you ANSWERS SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You could introduce this with a whole class activity to see how many countries learners can name in English Ask learners simply to call out the ones they know, while you write them on the board Then let learners a) in pairs before getting feedback and checking answers with the whole class As you listen to the students focus on pronunciation and word stress ANSWERS England / Italy / USA / Spain / Hong Kong / Greece / India / Canada / Australia / 10 Russia d ANSWERS Open answers 2a page SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Again, ask learners to this task individually at first, then get them to compare their order with a partner Once they have listened and you’ve gone through the correct order with everyone, get learners to take a role and practise this dialogue: first with open books, then from memory with closed books b ANSWERS ANSWERS a1/b6/c2/d4/e7/f5/g8/h3 b ANSWERS Open answers A C D 3a page SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Give learners time to match the words and numbers Then play the audio for them to check It is a good idea to drill these numbers in one or more of the following ways: – from to 10 and back from 10 to E/F G/H B c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Ask students to work individually on this task at first, then they can check their order with a partner Now play the recorded dialogue for learners to check You may need to pause the dialogue to give learners time to check Once they – round the class, each learner saying the next number – in teams, team A says the odd numbers (1, 3, ), team B the even numbers (2, 4, ) – clapping and then stopping on a number – ask a learner what the next number is ANSWERS one / two / three / four / five / six / seven / eight / nine / 10 ten Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:33 Pagina UNIT Nice to meet you b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is a simple activity to practise the numbers – the kind of question likely to be asked in the exam Start by choosing one or two learners to this with you while the rest watch, then get everyone to work in pairs for a few minutes ANSWERS Open answers 4a page SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: These are all typical things that the examiner might say or ask Point out to learners that they can expect to hear these in the first few moments of the interview Give learners a few minutes to the matching activity alone, and then ask them to compare with their partner Finally, play the audio for them to check Play the audio again, but pause to give learners time to respond First with open books, then with closed books You can this as a whole class drill, or pick out individuals to answer Follow up by getting pairs to interview each other: Student A plays the interview and reads out the questions from page 7; Student B responds with books closed ANSWERS 1h/2a/3g/4e/5f/6c/7d/8b Lesson B How old is she? 1a page SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Begin by asking learners some basic questions just to focus their attention For example, ‘How many boys/girls are there?’ ‘Is this a boy/girl?’ Now ask learners how old they think each of the children are Ask them to work in pairs to match the ages with the photos Finally, play the audio so that they can check what they predicted against what they hear ANSWERS A / B 10 / C and / D / E b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Use this as an opportunity to revise subject pronouns You could write them on the board and elicit from learners when we use them – e.g ‘she’ for when we’re talking about a girl or woman Get learners to try and find the missing words working individually, then give them a chance to compare with a partner Now play the audio again for them to check Finally, go through the answers together ANSWERS he / He / you / I / they / They / you / We / she / 10 She / 11 it / 12 It c b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: ANSWERS Remember that the aim of this is to practise the correct use of subject pronouns, so make sure that learners are aware of this Don’t let them simply point at photos and say ‘And this?’, for example It’s a good idea to model the task yourself by choosing one of the stronger learners in the class to it with you Finish with a whole class activity: get a pair of learners to ask each other about one of the photos while the rest of the class listen Then ask learners which photo the pair was talking about You could also ask learners to bring in photos of friends and family and get learners to ask each other about them using the structures just practised Open answers ANSWERS Open answers Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:33 Pagina GRADE UNIT Nice to meet you 2a page c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: See the methodology notes on ‘drills’ at the beginning of the Teacher’s Book The aim here is to review and practise present simple The tables are for learners to refer to, but you could ask them to close their books and a simple Q&A drill to practise the full form: T: I Class: am T: You Class: are or Group A: I Group B: am Then focus on the contracted short forms by asking, ‘Do we say, ‘I am ten’? Then elicit from learners what the short form is that we normally use when speaking Now practise these short forms with a similar Q&A drill Communication Task, page SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Like many of the communication tasks in the book, this takes the form of a simple information gap activity It’s a good idea to model the task yourself by asking as stronger learner to the first few with you while the rest of the class listen ANSWERS Lia Carlos ANSWERS she’s / you / are / I / is not / aren’t b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Ask learners to open their books and complete the gaps individually – then to compare with a partner Finally, go through the answers together Finish off by drilling the answers – make sure that learners really are using the contracted forms England Age: Miranda and Elodie Spain Age: 11 Alex and Nadia ANSWERS I’m nine / She’s from France / We aren’t from Hong Kong / My name isn’t Maria It’s Mary / My name isn’t John / They aren’t Italian / I’m fine, thanks / He’s from India Canada Age: Russia Age: 10 Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:33 Pagina UNIT At school Lesson A In the classroom 1a page 10 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The aim here is to revise basic classroom vocabulary of the kind that is often used in the exam Note that examiners may use these alternatives to the word lists in the exercise: eraser = rubber school bag = bag student = learner / pupil It is a good idea to make learners aware of these alternatives and to learn them as passive vocabulary Learners can this activity in pairs Then check answers with the whole class You could practise the items by simply pointing them out in the class room and getting learners to shout out the name of what you’re pointing to Also, ask learners to tell you what they have in their school bag / pencil case time, use the audio to drill the vocabulary items – pause after each word for choral or individual repetition Focus on correct pronunciation, and watch out in particular for misplaced word stress in multi–syllable words such as ‘calculator’ and ‘dictionary’ Follow up by asking learners to think of two more categories that could be used to organise these words For example: Things larger/smaller than a book Things made from wood / plastic / metal You could also follow up with pronunciation work: ask learners to group words according to the number of syllables they have Then ask them where the stressed syllable usually is Point out that the stress is most often on the first syllable, for example: notebook calculator student dictionary Practise this with suitable pronunciation drills In a pencil case In a school bag sharpener pencil ruler eraser pen pencil case book dictionary notebook calculator Student A: I-spy something beginning with N Furniture People Student B: Notebook? desk chair cupboard student teacher Alternatively, play a simple game such as I-spy: Student A: Right Student B: I-spy something beginning with ANSWERS teacher / cupboard / desk / book / chair / notebook / student / pencil case / pencil / 10 school bag / 11 dictionary / 12 pen / 13 ruler / 14 eraser / 15 sharpener / 16 calculator c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This aims to revise usage of the indefinite article a/an and to practise a question and answer format that is very common in the exam: b Examiner: What’s this? SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: First, bring students’ attention to the Focus box on page 10 Then some simple practice of this with a drill: Vocabulary grouping activities like this one are good ways for learners to ‘process’ vocabulary which will in turn help them to remember words Ask learners to this individually and then check with a partner before playing the audio for learners to check their answers Give learners time to ask any questions they may have about the grouping before playing the audio again This Candidate: It’s a/an Teacher: Book Teacher: Eraser Learners: A book Learners: An eraser Focus on pronunciation You need to point out to learners that the article an becomes linked or joined to the noun that follows An eraser for example becomes aneraser in connected speech Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:33 Pagina 10 GRADE UNIT At school Now use a similar drill, but introduce the whole phrase: Teacher: What’s this? Teacher: What’s this? Learners: A book Learners: An eraser At this point you don’t need to expect fuller answers, such as ‘It’s a ’ Also, make sure you’re pointing out single items, as the focus here is on the article a/an Now ask learners to work in pairs and practise the same Q&A dialogue based on classroom objects Monitor and check for errors in use of articles or pronunciation ANSWERS Open answers 2a page 11 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is simply revision of numbers 11 to 20 Students should already be familiar with these, but if not then you may want to write the numbers on the board before playing the audio It’s a good idea to drill these numbers in one or more of the following ways: – From 11 to 20 and back from 20 to 11 – Round the class, each learner saying the next number – In teams, team A says the odd numbers, team B the even numbers ANSWERS twelve / thirteen / fourteen / fifteen / sixteen / seventeen / eighteen / nineteen b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The aim here is to revise the rules for plural nouns Although spelling is not important for the exam – since there is no writing component – these spelling rules reflect the pronunciation of the three categories of plural noun Bring learners’ attention to the focus box which gives examples and rules for the three main categories of noun Check learners understanding by writing one example of each category on the board and asking them to give you the plural Examples could be: – fox, church, box, brush, glass – story, party (point out that there is a consonant before the y) – cat, dog 10 Once you have done these examples altogether, get learners to the practice exercise alone and then to compare with a partner When everyone is ready, play the audio so that learners can check their answers Play it once again and ask learners to repeat what they hear ANSWERS thirteen watches / fifteen classes / twelve pencils / sixteen boys / fourteen dictionaries c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: The emphasis here is on the pronunciation of the plural affixes to nouns You need first to model the three endings for students Write the phonemic symbols as heading on the board and use the example words you wrote on the board earlier: /s/ cats /z/ stories /iz/ foxes Ask learners to repeat the words after you, giving special emphasis to the plural ending Now ask learners how they would pronounce dogs Show them that, although it has the same plural ending as cats, it is pronounced differently Now ask learners to the sorting exercise on their own Encourage them to say the words to themselves in order to make them more aware of how the endings sound Finally, play the audio to let them check their answers Play once again and ask learners to repeat what they hear ANSWERS /s/ /z/ /iz/ books teachers watches students boys boxes desks pencils classes erasers pencil cases dictionaries 3a page 11 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This short activity provides further practise of the How many are there?

Can they add any other daily/weekly activities to the list? Give an example by talking about yourself and your week Point out that we use the preposition ‘on’ with the days of the week Then get learners to talk to each other for a minute or so about their week Ask them to use all the activities listed in the box for this exercise, plus others they know how to say in English ANSWERS ANSWERS Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Sunday Open answers b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Give learners a few moments to read through the exercise and look at the pictures Tell learners that they only have to listen out for the days – not the times of day – that Mike does things Point out the that days are not in order from left to right Play the audio once Let learners compare their 2a page 47 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: These are all common activities that learners should be able to mention at this level Give them a few moments to match the pictures to the activities, then ask them if they know any others to add to the list ANSWERS 1F/2B/3C/4A/5E/6D 35 Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:34 Pagina 36 GRADE UNIT Days and months b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Point out the third person forms It’s worth spending time on whole class drills to practise this ANSWERS activities and little tick boxes, then they must find out from their partner what the correct choice is You may need to drill the question form a couple of times before learners get started: What does on ? plays / doesn’t / Does / play What do on ? c Demonstrate what learners have to by choosing a good learner from the class to work with you on a few examples SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: First of all draw learners’ attention to the grammar table describing present simple Note that learners are not expected to form questions in the exam, but they are expected to recognise and understand them The table is simply provided for reference, but if you think its necessary, you could substitution drills to practise the form Saturday Morning Daniel play chess watch tv Adriana play violin watch tv Their parents go shopping watch tv Sunday To demonstrate the task, write the following on the board: mum Monday work dad Tuesday read we Wednesday go brother Thursday shopping Ask a learner to come up to the board to help you Ask the learner to cross off the words from the list as you say them Now begin to talk about your week: ‘On Monday morning my dad works On Tuesday ’ Now divide the class into pairs and ask them to the same Student A talks and tries to use all the words in the boxes while Student B crosses them off Tell learners not to worry about telling the truth – just making correct sentences When all the words have been crossed off the list, the pair swaps roles and it is Student B’s turn to talk while Student A crosses words off the list ANSWERS Open answers Communication Task, page 47 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is another information gap activity where learners have to share information in order to complete the table Explain to learners that each student has some information about what the family does, but where there is a choice of two 36 Afternoon Morning Afternoon Daniel sleep homework Adriana play football meet friends Their parents gardening listen to music Lesson B When’s your birthday? 1a page 49 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Before they open their books, see how many of the months learners can remember – ask them to call the names out to you Then get them to complete the diary on page 48 with the months Then play the audio for them to check Follow up with pronunciation work focusing on word stress Ask learners to mark where the main stress lies in each month e.g JANuary Ask them to compare with a partner and then play the audio once again for them to check See Procedures file for speaking drills ANSWERS April / June / July / September / November / December Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:34 Pagina 37 UNIT Days and months b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Students should put the notes onto the diary pages from the previous exercise, according to what’s true for them and their family Give them a few minutes to complete this and then show them an example of what to for exercise c) by asking a few questions to one of the stronger learners in the class You could help learners form questions by putting these prompts up on the board: When is ? When ? can hear the endings Once they’ve completed the table, ask them to compare with a partner Then play the audio in order to check Play the audio a second time and pause to allow learners to repeat what they hear – get them to exaggerate the endings a little so that they get a feel for the sounds Group – /s/ Group – /z/ Group – /iz/ starts swims finishes likes plays closes eats opens washes When does ? Also, remind learners that we say ‘in’ for months, not ‘on’ As you monitor, don’t worry too much about mistakes with question formation because this is not necessary for the exam ANSWERS Open answers c ANSWERS Open answers 2a page 49 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: 3a page 49 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Remember that candidates for this level don’t need to be able to form questions like these, but they should recognise and understand them Point out to learners that Is ? Do ? Does ? Are ? When ? Where ? What ? asks for a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer asks for a time asks for a place asks for a thing The focus of this task is the three ways to pronounce third person endings for present simple verbs Each sentence about Alison is an example of one of the third person endings First, simply ask learners to make matches so that the sentences make sense Then play the audio for them to check their answers Give learners a few minutes to this alone and then to compare Finally, play the audio for learners to check their answers Point out to learners that each verb ends in a slightly different sound: /s/ /z/ /iz/ b Play the audio again and ask them to listen out for these differences and see if they can match the verb with the sound Give learners a few minutes to think about how they might answer each question Then put learners into pairs to ask each other questions from the list (Student A the odd questions 1,3,5 etc and Student B the even questions 2,4,6 etc) Now play the audio, pausing after each question and asking one learner each time to answer ANSWERS 1c/2a/3b b ANSWERS What / Is / Is / When’s / When’s / When / Do / What / What / 10 What / 11 Do / 12 Does SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Now ask learners to sort the group of words into the three categories according to their pronunciation They should this on their own – encourage them to say the words to themselves so that they 37 GRADE Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:34 Pagina 38 UNIT 10 Pets Lesson A The pet shop 1a page 50 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: With closed books, see how many animals learners can name in English and write them on the board Then ask pairs to group the animals into categories: pets / wild / farm / can walk / can fly / can swim etc Ask learners if they have pets Now ask them to open their books and look at the picture on page 50 and exercise a) individually, then check with a partner The focus is a review of plural forms Draw learners’ attention to the focus box which has a reminder of common irregular plurals ANSWERS eight / two / nine / eleven / five / four / three / six b 2a page 51 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Ask learners to close their books Point to your ears, nose legs etc and ask learners to call out the correct words Now ask learners to open their books to page 51 and look at the list of words for part a) Can they find words that were not mentioned when you were asking them to call out? They should find ‘wing’, ‘beak’ and ‘tail’ Now ask them to the labelling activity together with a partner ANSWERS wing / head / beak / eye / ear / nose / tail / mouth / leg / 10 foot b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This practises imperative forms that examiners often use in the interview Give a few examples of what learners have to and then get pairs to work together, taking turns at giving orders Point out the Focus box information about the determiner ‘its’ and remind learners about the other determiners they learned in Unit 3, Lesson B SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You could follow up by playing the children’s game ‘Simon says’ See Unit 4, Lesson A for more details Ask learners to the matching alone and then compare with a partner before going through the exercise altogether This is revision of typical question types from the exam Open answers ANSWERS SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: 1c/2d/3a/4b c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Provide an example of what learners have to by directing a few questions to one of the stronger learners in the class Then organise the group into pairs Student A asks four questions, then Student B asks four questions Don’t accept only ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ (one word answers) ANSWERS Open answers ANSWERS 3a page 51 First ask learners to look at the photos and in pairs make guesses about what animals they are and then feedback to the rest of the class Then play the audio Once you’ve gone through the answers together, ask learners what words they heard that helped them find the correct animal ANSWERS goldfish (key words – tail / hasn’t got wings / swims) snake (key words – long and thin / hasn’t got legs) mouse (key words – tail / small / white) 38 Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:34 Pagina 39 UNIT 10 Pets b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Ask learners first to read through the dialogue in the bubbles so that they know what they have to Give an example yourself by describing one of the animals and asking learners to guess Now pairs the same ANSWERS Open answers c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is simply a continuation of the previous exercise Learners could describe animals from the book, farm animals or any other animals that they know the name of in English ANSWERS Open answers 4a Communication Task, page 51 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This is another information gap style activity The aim is to find out what animals are in all the boxes in the pet shop Student A knows what animals are in of the boxes, while Student B knows what animals are in the other boxes To find out what animal lives where, they need to ask each other questions Students shouldn’t say what the animal is, but describe it using descriptions practised in the previous exercise using adjectives of size, colour and parts of the body You might need to demonstrate what learners have to Do an example with one of the stronger learners in the class Lesson B Are they playing? 1a page 52 SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: These are common verbs that learners should know at this level Learners should match and then compare with their partner before going through the answers together You could follow up with flashcards showing other verbs and elicit/teach these too: read, write, walk, run, jump, open, close, sing are all appropriate for this level but choose verbs that you can use to talk about animals ANSWERS A play / B eat / C sleep / D swim b SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: Tell learners they are going to hear extracts from a typical interview Play the audio a couple of times, then ask learners to compare with their partners and tell each other why they chose what they did When you go through the answers together, ask learners to say what they heard that helped them find the right picture ANSWERS 1C/2B/3D/4A c SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: For this level, candidates are not expected to produce Present Continuous, but they are expected to understand questions in the Present Continuous and to be able to give short answers For example: ANSWERS Is she reading? mice / parrot / rabbit / goldfish / snake / tortoise / puppy / kitten Yes, she is Ask learners to complete the three sentences with the missing words and then play the audio to check ANSWERS Is / Is / Are d SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: This table completion task gets learners to focus on the form of present continuous, but it is just as important that you help learners understand the 39 Trinity 1-2_TB OK_Trinity 1-2_TB 09/02/11 15:34 Pagina 40 GRADE UNIT 10 Pets meaning of this verb form – at this level the focus is on present continuous for actions happening at the time of speaking, or for describing actions in photographs and pictures ANSWERS Is / Are / am / is / are / am not (’m not) / is not (isn’t) / are not (aren’t) e SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: You don’t need to spend too much time on the grammar of question formation, which can be difficult for young learners However, make it clear that word order plays and important role in English in signalling questions ANSWERS SUGGESTED PROCEDURE: What are they? Once learners have done this exercise, follow up with a drill which will help make the short answer forms come more automatically to learners What colour is your puppy?
