How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
Who will host the show?
Correct answer: B — Alix Wilton Regan
Why: The first paragraph names the host.
Clue in the story: The Golden Joystick Awards are due to take place at Troxy in London on November 11. Actor Alix Wilton Regan will host the show.
What have fans already done?
Correct answer: A — Voted for their favourite games
Why: The second paragraph says fans have already voted.
Clue in the story: Fans have already voted for their favourite games. PC Gamer says the live show starts at 18:00 GMT; winners are still to be announced.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Explain what is finished and what remains ahead.
One possible answer: Fans have voted, while the awards ceremony is still due to take place. The live show starts at 18:00 GMT and the winners are still to be announced.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
