Books closed. Write Olympic Games on the board. Elicit or introduce some key vocabulary: athletics, athlete, compete, win a gold/silver/bronze medal.

• Elicit information about the Olympics, e.g. their origin in Ancient Greece, the beginning of the modern Olympics in 1896, which sports are featured (e.g. 100m, 200m, discus, high jump, long

jump, triple jump, gymnastics, diving, cycling, swimming), where the most recent Olympics were held. • Students open their books at age 93. Ask them if they know the names of the people in the photographs and what they achieved in the Olympics (Olga Rypakova won a bronze medal in the women's triple jump at the 2016 Olympics, and Dmitriy Balandin won a gold medal in the men's 200m breaststroke). • Read out the questions at the top of the page and ask students

to discuss them in pairs.

Read out the title of the text. Teach the meaning of success and drill its pronunciation: /səkˈses/. Elicit example sentences using the word to test students’ understanding of it, e.g. Olga Rypakova had success at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games: she won one gold and one bronze medal.

• Teach the adjective successful /səkˈsesf(ə)l/. Elicit example sentences using the word to test students’ understanding of it, e.g. Alexander Vinokourov was a successful cyclist. He won the Vuelta a Espaсa in 2006. He also won four stages in the Tour de France.

• Ask students what they know about Kazakhstan’s success in

the last Olympic Games. • Check students’ understanding of the following vocabulary: boxing, result, weightlifting, disappointed.
