Once students have answered the questions, ask students to gather in small groups for a discussion and comparison of their answers.

After students have discussed their answers together, ask students to make a list of the three most confusing questions on the survey.

Discuss the students answers in general, focus especially on the list of three confusing questions.

PRACTISING ENGLISH OUTSIDE SCHOOL

When you are learning English, it is very important to use and practise

your English as often as possible. If you are studying in a school, you have

some good opportunities to practise. But what can you do after school, or if you are studying alone, to continue practising?

In fact there are many things that you can do outside school to improve

your English. Let us consider the 4 skills that you need to develop to use a language well: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Here are some of the ways you can improve these skills outside school. Listening to English is one of the most important things you can do to

improve your English. Do not try too hard to understand everything. Just

listen and you will soon understand. You have several possibilities: cas- settes and CDs. Listening to songs (on cassette or compact disc) can be use-

ful in helping you to “feel” the language. It does not matter if you do not un-

derstand everything. On television, you have a big choice of programmes:

films, chat shows, documentaries, news. In many parts of the world you can

watch English-language television, for example: BBC, CNN. Many televi- sion stations have Internet sites which give details of frequencies. Radio

is another excellent way to practise your English. You can watch films in English on video at home. Watching with video is a very good method be-

cause you can replay parts that you do not understand. If you watch a video with English sub-titles, you can cover the sub-titles with paper. Then, if there are some words that you really do not understand, you can remove the

paper and look at the sub-title. But be careful! The sub-titles are not always

an exact translation.

Speaking English is one thing that you cannot do alone! You can listen to English alone.
