QUIZ (15 MINUTES)
Play the audiotape for the quiz. The quiz reviews phrases and vocabulary teamed in this unit.
Do not use the list of vocabulary in this lesson to drill students! The purpose of the list is to help students learn mastery vocabulary as they read.
Watch your students closely during the quiz. The quiz is a chance for you to identify students who may be having particular problems. It is also a chance for you to assess the general progress of your class. Are the students generally able to follow the audiotape?
If you find students have trouble with parts of the quiz, discuss the points, and then, if time allows, play the quiz again.
The audiotape presents both the questions and answers for the quiz:

(I'm going to ring up Danny.)
(I'm going to wake up Danny.)
2. The phone is ringing now. Someone says, "Hello?”What can I say next? When you hear the right answer, please say "right!"
(Time to go!)
(Hello! This is Brian speaking. )
(Excuse me, would you please hang up?)
