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.
The quiz in this podcast is called ‘Beginning with…’ – for example, ‘think of an animal beginning with ‘p’ – the answer could be ‘polar bear’ or ‘pig’ – there are lots of possibilities.
To do an activity in which you fill in the names of things beginning with different letters on a diagram you will need to download the Podcast 06 Support Pack (pdf file - 389 KB)

Transcript
Ravi: So, as usual, it’s quiz time next. Tess? What have we got?
Tess: We’re going to play ‘Beginning With’ again. And, I hope, we’ve got our two players ready on the telephone. Hello? Will?
Will: (on phone) Hi Tess.
Tess: …and Jodie.
Jodie: (on phone) Hello
Tess: Let’s start with you Jodie. Where are you calling from?
Jodie: From Cardiff.
Tess: In Wales. Do you like it?
Jodie: Yeah, it’s great. It’s a capital city, you know, so there’s quite a lot to do.
Tess: And what do you do Jodie?
Jodie: I’m still at school. I’m 16 so I’m doing my GCSE exams this year.
Tess: OK. Well good luck with them and good luck with the game today. Now, Will. Where are you?
Will: In Peterborough.
Tess: Ah, OK. I know where that is. And what’s it like?
Will: Erm, it’s a bit boring really. Like, there isn’t really anything to do for people my age.
Tess: Oh dear. I’m sure it’s not that bad. How old are you?
Will: I’m 16 as well. I’m at school, like Jodie.
Tess: OK. Well, good luck to you too Will. I know you both know what to do but I’ll quickly remind you. I’ll ask the questions and to answer you press any button on your phone and we’ll hear a buzzer. Let’s hear your buzzers. Will. (sound of Will’s buzzer). OK. Jodie. (sound of Jodie’s buzzer). OK. The questions tell you what letter the answer starts with. So, I might say ‘A form of transport beginning with ‘T’’ – and you can say ‘train’ or ‘tram’ or another transport that begins with ‘T’. OK? Ready?
Will / Jodie: Yep.
Tess: Then let’s go. Remember it’s first one to three. Fingers on buzzers. Can you name …. a fruit beginning with ‘P’.
(Jodie’s buzzer)
Tess: Jodie.
Jodie: Pear
Tess: Yes. One nil to Jodie. A colour beginning with ‘P’
(Will’s buzzer)
Tess: Will.
Will: Purple.
Tess: Yes. One one. An animal beginning with ‘W’.
(Will’s buzzer)
Tess: Will again.
Will: Wolf.
Tess: Right. Two one to Will. A country beginning with ‘A’.
(Will’s buzzer)
Tess: Will.
Will: Africa. No. Sorry.
Tess: No. A country, not a continent. Jodie?
Jodie: Argentina.
Tess: Yes. Two two. So the next one is the decider. Ready? A sport beginning with ‘B’
(Jodie’s buzzer)
Tess: Jodie!
Jodie: Badminton
Tess: Yes! Well done Jodie. And bad luck Will. Jodie wins this week’s LearnEnglish book token to buy any book you want. What kind of book are you going to buy Jodie?
Jodie: Oh, I don’t know. I’ll have to think. Probably like, a novel or something.
Tess: OK, well enjoy it, whatever it is – the book token will be in the post on its way to you today. Thank you both for playing and remember, if you’re listening, we’d like to hear your ideas for games we can play. Send them to us at learnenglishpodcast@britishcouncil.org.
Ravi: You know we’d love to hear them.
