and complete the table. Students can do the activity in pairs or small groups. Monitor and give help where necessary. As an alternative, you can set Students A to only complete the first, third, fifth items, etc., and Students B the second, fourth, sixth, etc., items.

Transcript 059
I’m a nurse in a Lilongwe hospital. Let me tell you a few things about Malawi. The population of Malawi is around 16 million people. Fifteen million, nine hundred and six thousand in 2012, to be precise. Malawi is a very rural country. Most people live in the countryside. 84% of Malawians don’t live in cities. More than 600,000 babies are born every year. But the population is not growing, because a lot of them die: in 2012, 43,000 children under five died. One of the reasons is that more than 90% of the children are not vaccinated. It’s not a surprise that life expectancy is very low: 54.8 years. Things are better now than in the past. Now, 73.2% of babies are born in hospitals or health centres. Also, a lot of people in Malawi now have better drinking water. In the countryside, 81.7% of people can use it for drinking and cooking. In cities, 94.6% of people have clean water. But the government doesn’t spend a lot of money on healthcare. For every person in Malawi, they only spend US$18.8 per year. We need much more to improve healthcare in our country. And people need to earn more money. The average income of a Malawian is only US$320 per year!
E
Students check their answers to Exercise D in pairs or groups. They do this by asking each other questions and answering them.
Grammar for writing: Subject, verb, object (SVO)
Go over the information in the table after completing Exercise E. Remind students of what subjects and verbs are. Objects are often nouns, noun phrases or pronouns.
The general rule behind finding SVO is: the subject (S) does the verb (V) to the object (O). Example: The government contributes US$18.8 per person per year.
Adjectives and prepositions can be part of an object, but they can’t be the object themselves.

F
Exercises F, G and H introduce students to writing as a process – see the Introduction.
Students read the description in Exercise F. Then, in pairs or groups, they find information about their own country or a country of their choice. They copy the text from the Course Book, and complete it with the information.
Answers Students’ own answers.
G
Students read the work of a partner (in pairs or groups) and help each other complete or correct the description.
H Students should now be looking at their own work, edited by another student. Using their original text and the corrections and suggestions from their partner, students write a final draft of their text. Monitor to check students understand how to do the editing effectively. The final version can be done in class or for homework. Students could create a poster about their own country or the country of their choice, including images. Display in class and compare.
Over to you! For procedural notes and suggestions for how to use the ‘Over to you!’ section, see the Introduction, page 6.
