Helping hand
If students feel daunted by the texts, ask them to read text 1, then
ask: Which heading matches this text? Why? Elicit the answer,
then ask students to read text 2. Continue in this way, asking
students to read one text at a time and eliciting the correct
headings.
Fast finishers
Fast finishers can write their own short text to fit one of the
headings in the box. When you have checked answers, ask fast
finishers to read out their texts. Ask other students to match
the texts to the headings in exercise 1.

Fast finishers
While students are choosing their activities, fast finishers could
add two more activities to each list that they think Paul and
Adrienne would enjoy. At the end, ask them to tell the class
which activities they chose, and why. Ask other students if
they agree.

Fact file
The term bucket list means a list of things you want to do
before you die. It comes from the informal expression to kick
the bucket, meaning ‘to die’. The idea was popularized by a
2007 American film called The Bucket List, a comedy about two
terminally ill men who go on a road trip with the aim of doing
as many of the things on their lists as they can before they die.
