It is growing! By 2020, about 5,000,000 people will use it every day! Internet search Find out some facts about the London metro. 1 Draw attention to the Objectives box on page 18, which refers to the objectives of the unit, and explain in Arabic if necessary. 2 Now ask the students to look at the picture in exercise 1 and say what it is (a Cairo metro sign). Then ask them to read the questions. 3 Put the students into groups of three or four to discuss the questions. Do not confirm whether they are correct at this point. Then hold a short class discussion about the Cairo metro. Ask whether they have used the metro in Cairo, or metros in other countries. Do they enjoy travelling this way? Why/why not? What is their preferred mode of transport? 2 Read about Cairo and the metro and check your answers 1 Ask the students what they know about Cairo. This could be about the population, what visitors can see or about daily life in the capital. Ask 39
students if they have visited Cairo and what they thought about it. Alternatively, if your students live in Cairo, ask what they like about living in the city. 2 Tell the students that they are going to read about Cairo and about its metro system. Ask them to predict the kind of information they will read about. 3 Ask the students to read the two texts and check if their ideas for exercise 1 were correct. Check the answers orally as a whole class. 1 Students own answers 2 About 3,000,000 (three million) people every day 3 Answer these questions 1 Ask the students to read the questions. Tell them that the information they need is in the text in exercise 2. Remind them that this time they will need to read the text more slowly, but they should not worry about any words they don t know the meaning of at this point. 2 The students read the text and find the answers. 3 When they have finished, ask them to check their answers with a partner before checking them orally as a whole class. Ask the students to read the text again and underline any words they don t know. Tell them to try to guess their meaning, using the context to help them. Then check the meanings of the words as a whole class. : Internet search 1 Ask the students to close their books and tell you what they remember about the Cairo metro. Ask them whether they know of any other famous metro systems, for example, the London Underground or the Moscow Metro. 2 Then ask them to open their books and look at the question in the Internet search box. Tell the students that they are going to do an internet search to see what they can find out about the London metro (known as the Underground or Tube). This can be done in class if there are enough resources, or as homework. 3 Tell the students to search for similar information to that in the Cairo metro facts box. When they have carried out their research, ask the students to report their findings to the rest of the class. What did they find particularly interesting? L E S S O N 2 S B p a g e 1 9 W B p a g e 1 2 Outcomes: To use the imperative for instructions and advice To discuss road signs and their meanings 1 Because there are lots of things to see and do. 2 You can visit the beautiful buildings and learn about Egypt s past. 3 Because it is the first metro system in Africa.

Tell them they will need to underline other words in the sentences which have the same function. The students copy the sentences into their copybooks and complete the exercise in pairs. Then invite different students to tell you the words which give instructions or advice in each sentence. 5 Now ask them to look at the Grammar box and read the rules for the imperative. 6 Play a quick game of Teacher Says.
