Teacher guide & answers

In this lesson: Interpret coordinated action and the meaning of complementary roles.

Rabies prevention links animal and human health

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 sectors does the campaign bring together?
Correct answer: A — Communities, veterinary services, healthcare and government
Why: The opening paragraph lists the coordinated sectors.
Clue in the story: WHO’s 2026 World Rabies Day campaign used “Stronger Together” to emphasise coordinated action across communities, veterinary services, healthcare and government.
What does “complementary rather than interchangeable” mean?
Correct answer: B — The actions support each other but do not replace each other.
Why: The third paragraph states this relationship between prevention and care.
Clue in the story: These actions are complementary rather than interchangeable. Promoting prevention is not evidence that every exposure is prevented or that rabies has already been eliminated.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Explain why a campaign promoting prevention is not proof that every exposure is prevented.

One possible answer: A campaign urges coordinated preventive action, but its existence does not establish that every exposure has been prevented. Possible exposure still requires prompt medical assessment and appropriate care.

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

Two roles with while

while a person with a possible exposure needs prompt medical assessment

“While” contrasts population prevention with an individual’s care needs without making them alternatives.
