Cambridge English Newsletter for Teachers “Enseñamos juntos” Cambridge English – Activity 2 – What do you know about carnival • SKILL – READING & SPEAKING • LEVEL – INTERMEDIATE ADOLESCENTS OR ADULTS • LANGUAGE – AGREEING/DISAGREEING/SUGGESTIONS/ The first part is to introduce the topic of Carnival before doing the reading task. The students think and talk about their own experience and activities related to carnival before reading about a carnival in another country. The follow-up activities are discussions in groups to decide on the questions posed. They should be encouraged to ask for and give suggestions, give opinions and justify them, agree/disagree and negotiate to come to a final agreement. Good practice for the Cambridge English: Preliminary Speaking collaboration task.
