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 worksheet

A 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.

What does thirty years refer to?
Correct answer: A — Time since Eminem’s debut album
Why: The first paragraph measures time since the debut album.
Clue in the story: Six early Eminem songs returned with new mixes on November 12, thirty years after his debut album. Apple Music lists the release as Infinite EP.
Which sequence matches the text?
Correct answer: C — Digital release, then physical editions
Why: The second paragraph contrasts available digital music with physical editions to follow.
Clue in the story: Org Music says physical editions will follow in February 2027; the digital release is already available.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Explain why the EP is both new and connected with older work.

One possible answer: The November 12 release has new mixes of six early songs. It marks thirty years since the debut album, while physical editions are planned for February 2027.

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.
