‘Jet pack’: a jet-powered device you wear on the back that will help you to fly (“động cơ phản lực mini”) ‘teleporter’: an imaginary method of transportation in which one disappears at one point, usually in an instant, and reappear at another

- Ask Ss to uncover the text. Play the recording and ask them to locate the parts of ‘flying cars’, ‘jet pack’, and ‘teleporter’.
1a. Read the conversation again... (P49)
- Ss work individually to answer the questions. Ss compare answers in pairs and then discuss as a class.
- T goes through each question and asks Ss how the text in the conversation supports their answers. (For question 2, however, T may draw Ss’ attention to the suffix-less. For question 4, T may remind Ss of the meaning of green in previous units). After the discussion, T writes correct answers on the board.
