Look at the supplementary materials for elementary learners and three possible ideas for exploiting them. Choose the idea which is NOT appropriate (the odd one out).

The material is useful for practicing:

• present simple questions

• reported speech

• prepositions of time

Look at the supplementary materials for elementary learners and three possible ideas for exploiting them. Choose the idea which is NOT appropriate (the odd one out). The activity would probably work well with:

• teenagers

• young children

• young adults
