Section 3 is based on the Quiz. This helps you to learn the meaning of new words and how to remember them.
Suggestion: You can write your answers in our Support Pack.
You might want to use a notebook or part of your folder to make your own word lists and maps.
In the quiz, Marina and Ricky tried to think of yellow things. An exercise like this is a good way to learn more vocabulary. Here, we’re going to think about things that are green, red, white, or blue.

Tess: OK. Now it’s quiz time. Every week we’ll have a little quiz to make you think. This week it’s another Ten Second Quiz. It’s very easy - we give you a topic and you give as many answers as you can - in ten seconds. For example, if we say ‘things that are blue’ you can write down ‘the sky’ or ‘the sea’ – as many words as you can think of in ten seconds. Our two players today are Marina – hello Marina…
Marina: Hello.
Tess: … and Ricky. Hi Ricky.
Ricky: Hello.
Tess: And could you tell us a little bit about yourselves?
Ricky: Erm, I’m Ricky, you know that – and I’m from Croydon, south of London, and I’m erm seventeen.
Marina: And I’m Marina, I’m 16 and a half and I’m from Croydon too. We’re at the same school.
Tess: And now for the game. Do you both understand what to do?
Marina and Ricky: Yeah,
Tess: OK. Let’s start. You’ve got ten seconds to write down things that are yellow. OK? So, for example you could say ‘banana’. OK? A banana is yellow. So ‘things that are yellow’. Go!
Tess: OK. Marina, how many have you got?
Marina: Six.
Tess: And how about you, Ricky?
Ricky: Only five.
Tess: OK, so let’s hear your six words, Marina. Things that are yellow.
Marina: The sun, lemons, cheese … the moon – sometimes, butter - and … my hair.
Tess: Your hair? Can we allow that Ravi?
Ravi: I think so. Her hair’s blonde – I suppose that’s yellow. Do you agree Gordon? Yes? OK, you’re the winner Marina. Well done. Sorry Ricky.
Tess: Actually, ‘yellow things’ is really difficult. Can you think of any more Ravi?
Ravi: Well, when Marina said ‘butter’ I thought of ‘margarine’ – but, yes a very difficult quiz.
Tess: So - well done to both of you, but congratulations to Marina, our winner.
Marina: Thanks Tess. Bye
Ricky: Bye.
Ravi: Thanks Marina and Ricky. And as usual, if any of you listening have a good game we can play in quiz time, write to us and let us know. The address is learnenglishpodcast@britishcouncil.org. Don’t forget - we’d love to hear your ideas for games we can play.
