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.
- Separate moving chairs so everyone could see from the effective result in the example.
- Complete A about early preparation, helping others understand, excessive noise and a particularly good day.
- Reorder B's avoiding lateness, helping people join and being busy questions, then explain whether each answer gives an aim or an actual outcome.
Support and extension
Check in order to + base verb and so as not to for negative purpose. So + adjective and such + noun phrase introduce these result patterns; pursuing an aim does not guarantee success.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
