Task 1
Instruction: Fill each blank with one of the words in the box.
- T writes these words on the board:Acquaintance, incapable of, mutual, unselfish,
give and take, friend, loyal to, suspicious
- Then T instructs Ss to read the passage quickly and stop at the lines that contain
these words to guess their meanings (except for the word “friend” as this word is
familiar with Ss)
- Ss guess the meaning of the words based on the contexts in the sentences. For
example, to guess the meaning of unselfishn Ss may realise that this word is the
noun of unselfishness in line 5. Therefore, they may guess the meaning of unselfish
first. Ss can pay attention to the prefix un- and such phrases as concerned only, his
own interest and feelings in the following sentence.
