Pre-task 3.1
Write to your Group Discussion in your Work Group space to find a partner from your
group for the speaking activity. Once you have a partner, agree on a day and time to meet
in Tandem. Decide which one of you will invite the other in Tandem.
First do CA3 Practice and then do CA3 Assessed. CA3 Assessed has four tasks and your
teacher will assess your speaking in your first attempt of Task 3 or Task 4. After you finish
the last task in CA3 Assessed, decide together which task you want your teacher to assess -
Task 3 or Task 4. To do that, watch your recording and email each other to come to a
decision.
Finally, one of you needs to post a message to the classroom Forum > CA3_Tandem to tell
the teacher which task you would like to be assessed and the minute it starts in the video.

Note the following general advice for pair work speaking tasks:
● Read the Tandem FAQs document in the classroom before you start!
● Your teacher will assess how well you and your partner speak together naturally on
your first attempt so don’t over-prepare or read from a prepared script and
remember to speak in English as soon as you’re connected!
● Use each others’ names during each activity.
● Tandem only works when both students are connected. One student must "invite"
the other student to do the activity, so first decide who will "invite". To invite your
partner, find your partner's name in dropdown menu 1; select the task in dropdown
menu 2 and click start. Your partner will receive the "invitation" and must click start.
Tandem and the videochat will open in new tabs or windows in your browser.
Post-task 3.1
Watch the video you did in Tandem and share your thoughts with your classmates in I’ve
learnt something today! in the Forum. Think about the following questions:

Pre-task 3.2
Do the exercises in Dedicated Foodies > Part 1 Food TV in Materials in the classroom.
They’ll help you widen your vocabulary, revise grammar areas and you’ll read and listen to
ideas about the topic in the assessed task.
Don’t forget to share different vocabulary items, expressions and grammar points
that you have learnt in the I’ve learnt something today! folder in the Forum.
If you don’t know a programme or don’t watch TV, you can find a programme by checking
the TV listings or by searching on websites like YouTube.
Have you noticed all of the programmes related to food or restaurants on TV nowadays? Tell
us about one of these programmes! Write us a review of 150-200 words on the TV
programme about food or restaurants. In your review you need to:
● give the review a catchy title
● give examples of the show’s content
● say what the objective of the programme is
● say why you love or hate the programme
You can find an example and ‘ingredients’ (verb tense, adjectives, etc.) for writing a Review
in the self-correcting exercises Dedicated Foodies (Part 1) > 01.04 Writing. Use the
Writing_checklist in the classroom to check your writing. When you finish, send your Review
to the Forum > CA3 Reviews folder.
