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 plays Mr Darcy?
Correct answer: A — Jack Lowden
Why: Jack Lowden plays Mr Darcy.
Clue in the story: Netflix has released a trailer for its new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Emma Corrin plays Elizabeth Bennet, while Jack Lowden plays Mr Darcy.
What is scheduled for December 3?
Correct answer: A — The series premiere
Why: December 3 is the planned premiere date, not the trailer release date.
Clue in the story: Written by Dolly Alderton, the six-part series is scheduled to premiere on December 3. The trailer offers an early look at the characters, but viewers must wait for the series itself.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: What can viewers see before the series begins, and who wrote this adaptation?
One possible answer: They can see the trailer before the series begins. Dolly Alderton wrote the adaptation.
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.
