Vocabulary
Words that might be unfamiliar to the learners are in the new word boxes in the margin of the Learner's Book. Make sure you draw attention to these as you go through the unit. When you read the text containing the new words, point out the new words in the context where they are used. Encourage learners to use the new words in their own sentences.
Pacing This unit will take about six hours to complete. There are five activities in this unit.
Activity 6 Work with time zones Guidelines to implement this activity
The telephone directory has a good map with the time zones in its introductory pages. It provides another useful way to phrase questions around time zones, such as, ‘If you called a friend in London at 10:00 in Cape Town, what would the time be in London?’
Suggested answers
Use the map of time zones to answer these questions. 1.1 Johannesburg: 14:00 1.2 Sydney, Australia: 22:00 1.3 Miami, Florida, USA: 07:00 1.4 San Francisco, USA: 05:00 2 19:00, because San Francisco is 8 hours behind GMT and Johannesburg is 2 hours ahead of GMT so Johannesburg is 8+2 hours ahead of San Francisco.
3 11:00, because Sydney is 10 hours ahead of GMT and South Africa is 2 hours ahead of GMT. So South Africa is 10 - 2 = 8 hours behind Sydney in time.
Remedial activity
If it is midday GMT what time is it in: 1 Madagascar? 2 Japan? 3 Alaska?
Suggested answers
1 15:00 (3 hours ahead of GMT) 2 21:00 (9 hours ahead of GMT) 3 03:00 (9 hours behind GMT)
