AROUND THE
WORLD

Activity 1 Warm-up stage

what the conversation was about
and how many people were in
rack 2 it. The answers should focus on

the fact that three people are
T discussing sleeping habits
in different countries.
• Play the track one more time
and pause every couple of lines.
• Ask students some follow-up
questions, such as what the
strange topic is, where he
read about it, why he found
it fascinating, what sleeping
traditions they are discussing,
how they feel about napping,
what facts the speakers
provide, what regions or
countries they mention, and
any others you find interesting.
• Start a discussion with students
after listening to the track.
• Elicit other sleeping habits
students have heard of, the part
they found most interesting and why.

• Provide some other examples and link the topic to what Mexicans do regarding sleep.
• The CD icon will appear throughout the practice to indicate the activity the track is linked to. However,
remember the way we order activities is a suggestion and you may change them to suit the purposes you
established with your students.

Activity 2
• Elicit other cultural habits people have around the world.
• Remind them about the conversation on the previous track about sleeping traditions if they don’t know
where to start.
• Tell them to use the ideas in this activity and to elaborate on others they know of. Their answers may vary,
but they will probably be able to talk about what their mother does when they have a cold, or that we
celebrate certain dates, while other cultures do not.
