Review Race

Pairs or small groups of up to four students
play the game. They must take it in turns
to roll the die and move their counter the
corresponding number of squares. When they
arrive at a square, players have to answer
the question or do what it says there. If they
answer correctly, they stay on the square. If
they answer incorrectly, they return to the
previous square. The first team to get to the
FINISH is the winner. Since most answers will
vary, circulate and monitor the activity.

presentation of the project. Elicit
and discuss the advantages and
disadvantages of each. Then invite
students to discuss any disadvantages
they might encounter. Explain to
students that Option 1 might be more
appropriate for a large school with
many students, which Option 2 could
be more suitable if they don’t have a
projector and computer. Time, space
and tech tools available should be
taken into account when considering
how best students can present their
work.

Have students reflect on the
importance of obtaining the
corresponding feedback after the
event. Explain that the audience should
provide feedback on the research and
activity as a whole.

Make sure students devise a form to
ask for feedback. They might want
to use recycled paper to make copies
of the feedback form and hand it out
before the audience leaves.

Encourage students reflect on the
results of the launch. They should
congratulate themselves on things that
went well and discuss how to improve
things that did not work.

Reading

Read the following passage. Choose True, False or Not enough information according to the text.
Write your answers in the box.

Afro-Colombian is a term that applies to Colombian citizens that are direct descendants of Africans.
Back in the early 16th century, Africans from countries like the Republic of Congo, Angola, Ghana
and Mali were brought to Colombia to work as slaves in the gold mines, sugar cane plantations and
cattle ranches. When they arrived, many Afro-Colombian slaves began to fight for their freedom.
They formed towns, called Palenques, where black slaves who escaped their oppressors
could live in freedom. In fact, Afro-Colombians played a very important role in the fight for
independence from Spain, with more than half of Simón Bolívar’s army being of African descent.

Finally, in 1851, slavery was formally abolished in Colombia but, unfortunately, life didn’t
immediately improve for the Afro-Colombians. Many were forced to live in the jungle regions of
the country to protect their cultural traditions, because the Colombian government wanted them
to be more like Europeans. Today the situation has improved. However, Afro-Colombians continue
to be displaced by armed groups that want to take their land for farming and mining purposes.

True False Not enough
information

0. A fricans were brought to Colombia at the end of the 16th ✔
century.

11. Afro-Colombians didn’t fight for freedom for many years

after arriving in Colombia.

12. There were towns where black people could enjoy their

freedom.

13. A fro-Colombians held high positions in Simón Bolívar’s army.

14. After slavery was abolished, Afro-Colombians began to lose

their cultural traditions.

15. Today, Afro-Colombians have taken land from armed groups.

Do Celebrities Spend Their Money Foolishly?

They earn a lot of money but does this mean that rich and famous people should spend their
money so extravagantly? For example, the famous singer and fashion designer Victoria
Beckham has spent over $2 million on handbags! Justin Bieber is famous for spending his
money irresponsibly: he has even rented a house not to live in but just to have parties in.
Beyoncé bought an aeroplane for her husband Jay Z for $47 million and Cristiano Ronaldo has
spent $15 million on sports cars. What a waste of money; he can only drive one at a time! I wish
these people would not waste their income so carelessly when they could spend it responsibly.

Audio Script 63
TV host: And now in our

entertainment section we will talk

about three famous celebrities

and what they have spent their

money on to impress people. The

first one is the famous painter

Andrew Jackson. He has earned

a lot of money from his paintings,

but he spends his money on sports

cars. He has already bought ten

cars. Although he has spent a lot

of money on cars, he has never

driven any of them.

Our second celebrity, Sasha, the

top model, has spent her money

on more and more expensive

clothes that she doesn’t need. She

can’t stop shopping, and people

say she’s becoming a shopping

addict.

Our last celebrity is Bobby Smith,

the famous actor. Instead of

wasting his fortune, we think this

man has spent his money wisely.

He likes to travel around the world

with his wife and son. They have

all enjoyed their trips and have

learned about different cultures

and countries of the world. That’s

a good way to spend money.
