Procedure:
Each student completes the gapped vocabulary (/1)
Before giving the student or students the sheet, the teacher can ask orally
some or much of the vocabluary. Filling in the sheet will reinforce what has
been previoulsy learned or half-learned.
Each student is given a sheet with the answers (/2) (the students could compare
their answers in pairs previously); .or else the teacher asks the students for
the answers they have written.
They could also be asked how the word is spelt to practise the letters of the
alphabet, and questions about how to spell (How do you spell that?) which are frequent
in spoken English, and have an importance far greater than in other languages,
given the unusual spelling of the English language.which is generally
unpredictable and poorly representative of the pronunciation.
For the dictation, the teacher can read the dictation (/3) to the student or
students, who have a copy of the gapped text´(/4).
A copy of the full text (/5) can then be given for the students to correct the
work.
Instead of listening to the teacher reading the dictation, the students could
read the dictation to each other in pairs (sheets /6 and /7). Or else after the
teacher has read the dictation, and the students have corrected the text, thy
could do the pair work in addition.
Finally, the students can be asked orally to translate words and phrases from
the dictation, or similar phrases (it began to rain > to snow, to thunder,
to hail, etc).

He saw he was above an immense car scrapyard, and the ground was coming
to meet him at incredible speed. By a divine miracle he landed in some thick bushes at the side of the
scrapyard. His right leg was broken in twenty places, but he survived. The doctors put a thick metal pin in his leg and he learned to walk
again. One day, exactly three years later, he went to the same scrapyard with a
TV film crew to explain his adventure for a TV programme. A crane was picking
up old cars with a super-strong magnet. Suddenly the man was lifted into the
