A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners page 1 and retain the page 2 key for checking. The personal responses are examples, not answers learners must copy.
- Use the meeting example to locate where the meeting is inside the polite opening.
- Complete A's residence, free-time, nearby-cafe and ticket-cost enquiries, then provide an informative answer.
- Reorder B's library, Sunday opening and work-travel questions; ask a partner in a visitor role.
Support and extension
Keep statement order after the wh-word or if, with no embedded do/does/did. In Part A, question 4, costs agrees with a bus ticket; capitals and question marks apply to the whole enquiry.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
