1. Ask the students to look at the screen and they will see two columns. One with questions and the other with answers.

2. In pairs, students discuss and match the answers in the right column to the questions in the left column.
3. Once the pairs start to finish, check answers as a whole class by reading out the questions and nominating students to provide the answers. If they are correct the answer will stay there. If they are wrong it will bounce back.
4. Go through some of the difficult vocabulary (e.g. heavy set) and you might like to get the class to brainstorm other words in those sets (e.g. thin, overweight, muscular…etc) and take notes.
