GESE 7 Village and City Life Lesson
In this download you can find a lesson to help students prepare for Trinity’s GESE 7 exam and the Village and City Life subject area. In this lesson, the students talk about the advantages and disadvantages of living in a village and a city, they read a text about migration away from villages and they prepare a presentation about encouraging people to stay in villages.
How to use the GESE 7 Village and City Life Lesson
The lesson starts with a pre-reading speaking task where students talk about where they live, and the advantages and disadvantages of living in a village or a city. You can refer to the GESE 7 Village and City Life vocabulary handout to help students with this part. They also look at photos of a village and a city and compare and contrast these.
After this, there is an ISE II style long reading text about migration away from villages – the students read the text, match headings to paragraphs, find the true statements, and fill in some missing words in sentences. All good practice if your students are going to do the ISE II exam later :). And for GESE 7, lots of language and ideas about village and city life for the speaking exam.
After reading, the students respond to the text with their own thoughts by answering some questions, and then they work together to produce a spoken presentation. In this, they have to try and encourage people to stay in a village instead of moving away. They will have the opportunity to use all the ideas and language about village and city life, and also practice describing advantages and disadvantages.
While there isn’t a writing task in the lesson, you can always ask students to write an essay describing the pros and cons of living in a village and giving their own opinion.
