https://create.kahoot.it/share/bts-general-quiz-what-can-you-expect-on-the-day/14096162-c6d1-4254-9ce5-98788ea24937

GOAL NUMBER 2 THE SURVIVAL KIT  to be distributed

GOAL NUMBER 3 REVISING YOUR INTRODUCTION

1.       Read the survival kit

2.       Now practise memorising the introduction by completing the following exercises

Here are 3 distinct exercises designed to test students' memorization, vocabulary retention, and understanding of the structural flow of these introductions.

Exercise 1: Cloze Test (Fill in the Blanks)

Nature: Vocabulary and Phrasing Retention.

This exercise tests the students' memory of the specific synonyms and idiomatic expressions used across the different versions.

Instructions: Fill in the missing words using the correct terms from your methodology sheet.

  1. (Step 1) The text that we intend to study = to p___________ = to s___________ = examine is...
  2. (Step 3) It was written in March 2026, so we might say it is a fairly t___________ issue.
  3. (Step 5) A careful reading of the text reveals that it t___________ the issue of gender equality.
  4. (Step 6) In a second time, I will focus on the pros and cons that might d___________ from this issue.
  5. (Step 6) Finally, I will e___________ to find some solutions to the problem.
  6. (Step 7) So let’s do so without further a___________.
  7. (Step 7) So let’s get c___________.

Exercise 2: Reordering and Version Matching

Nature: Structural Flow and Consistency.

This exercise tests whether students can recognize which steps belong together to maintain a coherent, sophisticated "Version 2" or "Version 3" tone, rather than mixing simple and advanced phrasing randomly.

Instructions: The following sentences are mixed up.

  1. Reorder the sentences (A to E) chronologically according to the 7-step methodology.
  2. Identify which "Version" (Version 1, 2, or 3) this specific introduction mainly draws from.
  • A. First I will sum up the facts to prove my understanding of the text, then I will draw your attention to the pros and cons of the issue.
  • B. The document given to us is entitled "The Rise of AI".
  • C. It first appeared on the website BBC News.
  • D. So let’s get cracking!
  • E. It was written in October 2025, so we might say it is a fairly topical subject.

Exercise 3: The "Spot and Fix the Blunder" Challenge

Nature: Error Correction and False Friend Identification.

This exercise targets common mistakes, literal translations from French, and structural omissions based on the provided guide.

Instructions: Read the student's introduction below. Find the 4 methodology errors (vocabulary mistakes, forbidden translations, or structural logic errors) and correct them using your lesson.

"The document given to us is entitled 'Green Energy'. It comes from a website. It was published in October the twelve, 2025. The text is about the environment. To study this text, I will eventually find some solutions to the problem, but first I will sum up the facts. So, let's start."

💡 Answer Key for the Teacher

Exercise 1

  1. peruse / scrutinize
  2. topical
  3. tackles
  4. derive
  5. endeavour (or endeavor)
  6. ado
  7. cracking

Exercise 2

  1. Correct Order: B  C  E  A  D
  2. Version: This closely follows Version 3 (uses "The document given to us is entitled", "It first appeared", "draw your attention to", and "get cracking").

Exercise 3

  1. The Date Preposition: Should be "on October", not "in October" when followed by a specific day.
  2. The Ordinal Number: Should be "October the twelfth" (or 12th), not the cardinal number "twelve".
  3. The False Friend / Structural Issue (Step 6): The student used "eventually" at the beginning of their plan. According to the method, eventually/finally must come at the end of the plan, not before summarizing the facts.
  4. The Source Detail (Step 2): While not strictly a grammatical error, the method emphasizes specifying the website name (e.g., "... dot com") rather than just leaving it as a vague "a website".

 

Here are 5 exercises of different types to test your students' memorization and mastery of these introduction structures.

Exercise 1: Fill in the Blanks (Synonyms & Vocabulary)

Objective: Test the memorization of specific verbs and vocabulary terms used across the different versions.

  5. A careful reading of the text reveals that it t___________ [= addresses/deals with] the issue of climate change.
  6. Finally, I will e___________ [= try/attempt] to find some solutions to the problem.

Exercise 2: Error Correction (Spot the Mistakes)

Objective: Test precision in prepositions, grammar, and word choice.

Instructions: Each of the following sentences contains one mistake based on the phrases provided in the methodology. Find the mistake and correct it.

  1. The document given to us is entitled of "The Future of AI". 2. It was published at October the twenty-first, 2025.

  5. "So let’s do so without furtherado." ( Version ____)
  6. "So let’s get cracking." ( Version ____)

Exercise 5: Real-World Application (The "Frankenstein" Intro)

Its author is a journalist named Sarah Jenkins. A careful reading of the text reveals that it deals with gender equality. To study this text, I will first give an account of the facts.

So let’s do so without further ado.
