Unit 31
Dumb laws
www.dumblaws.com

Encourage your students to have a look at laws from around the world and the students’ own countries. Although some of the laws may be difficult to understand, with help there shouldn’t be much problem. Ask them to find their favourite examples, which they should share with the rest of the group/class. Where possible ask the students to explain the laws using can/must, mustn’t.

Unit 32
Yahoo travel
http://travel.yahoo.com/
Capitals.com
www.capitals.com

Use these sites to prepare a questionnaire for other students in the class. If your students are mixed nationality, students could be asked to prepare have you ever...? questions about their partners countries/cities. This activity would work just as well in a monolingual situation except the questions would need to be more place-specific.

Unit 33
Britain, creativity-innovation & quality
http://www.fco.gov.uk/

Lots of over cautious advice from the British Foreign office. There’s some very interesting advice in the do’s and don’ts section for certain countries. Very useable with even low level students, you could ask them to rewrite some of the advice using must/mustn’t.

Unit 34
Human issues collaborative
http://www.humanissues.com/

Very impressive resource of pictures, all sorts of images can be uploaded showing a variety of human emotions. It’ll take some preparation on the part of the teacher but should be worthwhile. Search through and find some photographs which could be described using basic adjectives e.g. the person looks angry/happy then encourage your students to describe the actions using adverbs

Unit 36
Shopping - Ebay.com
http://www.ebay.com/

Give your students an imaginary budget and set them shopping tasks. As far as possible encourage them to look for things with a lot of choice: clothes, books, CDs etc. and encourage them to select one using will, then to justify their choice in feedback.

Unit 37
Multi-map.com
http://uk.multimap.com/map/weather.cgi
BBC.co.uk
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/
CNN
http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/

Sites dealing with the weather. Use these to find the current weather in your country or around the world. Use it to make predictions about the weather or to give advice to a friend who’s coming to visit you.

Unit 38
The seven wonders of the ancient world
http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/

I’ve chosen the seven wonders but you could choose something different. Although much of the language will be difficult encourage your students to scan the texts to see how many examples of the present simple and past simple passive they can find.

Unit 39
Career builder
http://www.careerbuilder.com/gh_int_htg_questions.html

Common interview questions - most of them are fairly straightforward. Get your students to imagine they were at an interview and they are telling their friends what questions they were asked.
