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.
Which language was added to the course?
Correct answer: C — Portuguese
Why: English and Spanish were already offered; Portuguese joined them.
Clue in the story: The third edition was planned for October 12, 2026. Portuguese joined English and Spanish.
A club says “Bring at least three books.” Which choice meets that rule?
Correct answer: B — Three books
Why: “At least” gives a minimum: three is enough, and more than three is also allowed.
Clue in the story: Learners study topics such as false information online and how computers make recommendations. The announcement said learners needed to complete at least 80% of the content and tests to qualify for a certificate.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Name one course topic you would like to study and say why. You can use “I would like to learn about … because …”.
One possible answer: I would like to learn about false information because I want to check things before I share them.
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.
Grammar to discuss
A minimum with at least
at least 80% of the content and tests
“At least” means this amount or more. Everyday example: “Please arrive at least ten minutes early.” It does not mean exactly ten minutes.
