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.
How are Tame Impala and SZA matched to the days?
Correct answer: C — Tame Impala on Saturday and SZA on Sunday
Why: Respectively matches the listed artists to the listed days in the same order.
Clue in the story: Coachella’s announced 2027 programme puts Dua Lipa at the top of both Friday bills. Tame Impala and SZA are scheduled to lead the Saturday and Sunday shows respectively.
What has happened at the time of the report?
Correct answer: B — The booking has been announced
Why: The second paragraph says the booking is announced and the performances have not happened yet.
Clue in the story: BBC Newsbeat describes her as the first solo British female artist set to headline. The booking is announced; the April performances have not happened yet.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Write a careful update about the milestone and its timing.
One possible answer: Dua Lipa is announced as the first solo British female artist set to headline Coachella. Her booking is confirmed in the programme, but the April 2027 performances have not happened yet.
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.
