I never do the washing-up, though – I always break things! So how about
Sunday? Are you free then?

my parents have got tickets to visit a museum, so I guess I’m free!

and network) to motivate learners to read the text.
(**) The teacher trainee can choose other subskills such as listening for specific information, deducing meaning from context, listening for
inferring speakers’ attitudes/feelings, listening for understanding text structure for learners to practice in task 2. The subskill that the teacher
trainee chooses depends on the length, structure and complexity of the listening text.
(***) The teacher trainee can choose other techniques (i.e. role play, write-it-up, further practice) for learners to do in the post listening stage.
