Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes
Looking Back at Our Themes
a) Aims
Activate Ss' background knowledge about healthy living, daily routines and smart cities, and introduce the topic of the review.
b) Content
Ss look at three words written on the board: 'routine', 'health', 'smart city'. In pairs, Ss answer two questions: 'How do you feel in afternoon lessons?' and 'What helps you stay alert during the day?' Then Ss decide which of the three words best connects with each of their answers.
c) Expected outcomes
A short list of 3 to 4 ideas on the board, for example: 'sleep early', 'drink water', 'walk after school', 'use bus apps'. Ss link at least one idea to a word on the board.
d) Organisation

Students' activities
Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T writes 'routine', 'health' and 'smart city' on the board. T asks: 'How do you feel in afternoon lessons?' and 'What helps you stay alert during the day?' T sets a 1-minute pair discussion.
Students
Ss listen and look at the words. Ss work in pairs to discuss the two questions.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T circulates, listens to pairs and notes useful answers without correcting pronunciation at this stage.
Students
Ss talk in pairs. Possible answers: 'I feel sleepy after lunch.' / 'I drink water and go for a walk.' / 'I use a bus app to check the timetable.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T invites 2 or 3 pairs to share. T writes their ideas under the matching word.
Students
Representative pairs report, for example: 'We think sleeping early helps us stay alert.' 'Our idea is using a bus app in a smart city.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T says: 'Today we will read about a student who changed his routine, and we will listen to a smart city service. Remember to support your answers with evidence.' T introduces the word 'evidence' (information from the text or recording that supports an answer).
Students
Ss note the lesson focus and the word 'evidence' in their notebooks.
