What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will prepare for C1 Advanced Reading and Use of English Part 1 by discussing what makes the multiple-choice cloze harder than ordinary reading and by applying one strategy: read for gist, then check the words immediately before and after each gap. They study 30 target phrasal verbs and fixed expressions, match ten of them to their definitions and complete a ten-item contextual gap-fill. In the main stage, they work through five exam-style Part 1 texts with 40 four-option items, and after each text they answer three Speak Up! questions that recycle the target language, for example whether financial perks can make up for a stressful job. The homework combines a ten-item gap-fill with five CAE Part 4 key word transformations. This CAE Use of English lesson plan includes a teacher version with an in-place answer key, slides, an interactive worksheet, 30 flashcards and 24 speaking cards. By the end of the lesson, learners will be able to choose the correct dependent preposition in Part 1 items, use 30 C1 target phrases accurately, and give extended opinions in Speaking Part 1 answers.
