Step 1 Revision

1 Play the “Who is it?” Game. You may help the student on duty to describe a member of the class and get the class to guess who it is. E.g. I'm thinking of a girl. She's wearing a blue blouse and black trousers. She's 13 and sitting near the window. Who is it? Do you know? The class may also ask the student on duty questions in order to make a correct guess, e.g. Is she sitting behind … ?, etc.

2 Revise the difference between the Present Indefinite Tense and the Present Continuous Tense.
