Anticipated Errors and Solutions

- Students may not be able to follow the passage easily

-> Follow the task-feedback circle: let them listen to the  tracks again until           they get the gist of the content

- Students may not be able to pick up details from the listening

-> Chunk the listening (pause-play-pause-play)

- students may need more time to work on the idioms

-> If it takes longer than 10 minutes, cut answer-checking short by verbally          sharing the answers instead of having students write them in the board.

- If time is short

-> Cut post-activity discussion short and only ask 2-3 students to share their opinions about characters

- If students finish their tasks earlier than anticipated,

-> Ask as many students as possible about their idea of other person
