Full Circle: Part 5

This advanced-level story is about two writers who were once friends. Their lives have taken very different directions since they left university. One has become a successful novelist; the other is poor and out of work. An advertisement in the paper brings the two together in a new relationship, one that brings to light quite a few uncomfortable truths about the two men.The story is told in eight parts; each part contains audio and an accompanying lesson plan written by Ceri Jones, which includes teacher’s notes, student worksheets and a full transcript and glossary. 

In this lesson plan by Ceri Jones, the students will: recall the main events in Part 4; listen for gist; write a short summary of a conversation; convert reported speech into dialogue; listen for key information; infer information from the text; practise the use of emphatic sentence stress.
