A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use pages 1–2 for learners and reserve page 3 for feedback. Begin with the printed warm-up and six-word matching task, focusing on component, restrict and incentive.
- Compare vocabulary choices, then read for the main idea before rereading the numbered paragraphs for detail.
- Sort the article's supporter and manufacturer arguments, including parts, software access, safety and data; answer from the text rather than current law.
- Discuss affordable repair, then plan the 140–170-word opinion paragraph with a position, two reasons and one objection.
Support and extension
Support with a two-sided argument chart. Accept accurate comprehension paraphrases; opinions need reasons, not the key's wording. Extend by asking learners to write a reasoned response to the strongest objection; no practical repair work is required.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
