Real TimeDVD worksheetsTeachers notes

Using the DVDs

The Real TimeDVD can either be used in the classroom

or for individual study. Each DVD has six episodes. The

main focus of each episode is to provide a context forthe language in the Real Timesections in the Students

Book. It would therefore be suitable to watch one

episode after having completed one Real Timesection.

Each episode is divided into three scenes. There are

interactive multiple-choice questions for each scene

which you can use while watching. We suggest letting

students see the question, watching the scene, then

having a class vote on the answer.

In the following pages are six DVD worksheets. These

focus on the language, vocabulary, functions and

general content of the episode, allowing you to makethe most of the DVD. We suggest that you use the

interactive questions the first time you watch the DVD

episode. Then, give out the worksheets and students

can watch the DVD again. There are optional extra

questions suggested in the teachers notes for each

episode. These questions focus on the visual content,

the characters feelings and relate the content to your

students own experience.

The story so far

The Benton family, Jon and Sally (Dad and Mum) and

Mark and Anna (their children) have come down fromLondon to stay on a campsite by the sea in Cornwall

for a few weeks. Whilst there, Anna has met Dave, who

owns the beach shop and gives surfing lessons. Anna

and Dave have become close and Dave has become

friendly with the family. Anna also works part-time for

Bob in the beach caf.

Episode 1

In this episode, we find Mark and Anna Benton at their

tent on the campsite. Mark is listening to his MP3 player

and Anna is looking for coffee. She cant find any andalthough Mark offers, Anna insists on going to buy

some more from Daves shop. Mark thinks she is more

interested in Dave than the coffee. As she leaves, Mark

notices the girl pitching her tent next to his and he

develops a crush on her. He uses the lack of coffee as an

excuse to introduce himself to her. When Anna returns,

she finds Mark and his new friend, Rachel, drinking

coffee. Now it is Annas turn to make fun of Mark. And

why is he drinking coffee when he doesnt like it?

In this episode, the Benton family are thinking about

their journey home. They are very sad to be leaving

but they decide to have a picnic at Smugglers Cove

before they go. Of course they decide to invite Dave to

join them and of course, Anna will ask him. Dave is veryhappy to join them for the party. While inviting him,

Anna tells Dave about how she is going to miss being

there by the sea and how she feels relaxed there. Dave

thinks she only feels like this because she is on holiday.

At the picnic everyone expresses how sad they are that

they are going home and Dave tells them that the place

will be quieter without them. They all thank Dave for

all his help. Then Anna walks off into the distance with
