11 Read the answers and write the questions.
Give the pupils practise at inventing questions by
focussing on the type of information in the answer
and if the verb is in the past or present tense. For
example: I get up at 07:00 am (The information is a
time and the verb is in the present tense. Therefore
the question is: What time do you get up?)
Instruct pupils to work in pairs and read the answers
carefully and to write a suitable question.
Ask volunteers to read the questions and answers aloud
and let the rest of the class say if they agree or disagree.

12 Read and match.

Explain that all the sentences are about natural
disasters that they studied last year in Comet 5.
Tell the pupils to read the sentence halves carefully and
match them to make complete sentences.
