A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or imagined answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Read the swimming model and distinguish ability from degree of skill.
- Ask about skills and a chosen person's abilities, adding examples.
- Plan three class-party jobs based on what each partner can do.
Support and extension
Provide action words and a little/very well. Extend with a follow-up; can takes a base verb even after he or she.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
