Go through the information in the Reading skill box and check understanding of the word requirements.


Set the task for highlighting all the requirements in the text. If students haven’t got highlighters, they can underline the information instead. Do one or two more requirements with the class as further examples if they are struggling. Students continue individually, and then compare answers in pairs. Use a visual medium to show the correct answers. Check understanding (both of the skills and the daily duties) and explain any new vocabulary at this point.
