STEP 3
Explaining the bold-faced words and expression
Explain the bold-faced words and expressions above to the students. Pay special attention to: ‘yellow fur with black stripes’, ‘live alone’ ‘hunt…for…’ and ‘loss of the living areas’. It is important because students may need these to write or talk about tigers, wolves as well as other animals.

Get the students to talk about the two animals looking at the two facts sheets. Encourage them students to start like this.
Tigers are the largest living cat in the world…..
Wolves are dog-like animals. They are not very big…..
STEP 5
Completing the letter in Part A2
Get the students to complete the letter in Part A2.
First, let the students complete the passage by themselves.

Finally, get the students to read the passage aloud.

Invite the students to underline the important phrases by themselves. Explain some of the most important ones, like ’write to sb. about doing sth.’ and ‘made sth from sth.’.
