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.

Which change belongs to the launch list?
Correct answer: A — A playable Japanese men’s national team
Why: The second paragraph lists the Japanese team as a launch change.
Clue in the story: Launch changes include stability fixes and a playable Japanese men’s national team. Another update is planned later this month, with testing still ongoing.
What was still ongoing?
Correct answer: C — Testing for another update
Why: The final sentence describes ongoing testing for the later update.
Clue in the story: Launch changes include stability fixes and a playable Japanese men’s national team. Another update is planned later this month, with testing still ongoing.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Describe one launch change and the status of the next update.

One possible answer: The launch changes include stability fixes and a playable Japanese men’s national team. A separate update is planned later in November, with testing still ongoing.

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.
