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 the description of the visitors establish?
Correct answer: B — Madrid played away.
Why: Madrid’s victory was away at Barcelona.
Clue in the story: Mbappé’s brace secured a 2–1 away victory for Real Madrid against Barcelona on October 25. He put the visitors ahead in the 41st minute at Spotify Camp Nou, but Raphinha equalised after 61 minutes.
Which claim is supported by the scoring sequence?
Correct answer: C — Madrid lost a lead and later recovered it.
Why: Barcelona equalised before Madrid scored again.
Clue in the story: The contest remained level until Mbappé scored in the 87th minute. Having surrendered their initial lead, Madrid regained it late enough for that second goal to prove decisive.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: Explain the main development in your own words. Include one detail that helps a reader understand it.
One possible answer: Barcelona’s equaliser is followed by a decisive second Madrid goal.
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.
