A simple way to teach it

Before the lesson

Use pages 1–2 and keep the teacher key on page 3 for feedback. Introduce inaccurate and incomplete, checking meaning and pronunciation before the gap fill.

  1. Contrast inaccurate information with an incomplete form; clarify insecure as not confident or not safe.
  2. Complete the eight sentences using each vocabulary word once. Compare choices with a partner and explain the context clues before checking the key.
  3. Compare informal situations, inexpensive activities and inconsiderate public behaviour. Use the five printed questions for pair discussion and short notes; responses are individual, not fixed-key answers.

Support and extension

Support with short situational examples; extend by checking how the meaning of insecure changes with its context.

Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
