Language Analysis
Like to do / like doing something
We usually use like + ing to talk about things we like doing in general. If you want to focus on a particular
situation it is more natural to say I like to do. Also like + to do suggests you actually do the activity.
However, both forms are correct and nowadays more and more people use them interchangeably. It is
more natural to form the question with the ing form: What do you like doing in your free time?
Keywords:
camera /ˈkæm(ə)rə/
camping /ˈkæmpɪŋ/
chess /tʃes/
Compare pronunciation: chess /tʃes/ vs cheese /tʃiːz/
computer /kəmˈpjuːtə(r)/

The aim of the screen is to introduce vocabulary.
Give the students these instructions for the
Memory game. The aim of the game is to make
pairs.
On the screen you will see two sets of cards ‘face
down’.
Click on one card from each set to make a pair.
If it is a pair, the cards will fly off the screen. If it is
not a pair, the cards will turn over again.
Try and remember where the pictures and words
are.
Choose two more cards to make a pair.
Continue until you have matched all the pairs.
Ask students to do the activity individually or put
them in pairs. If students work in pairs, ask them
to count the number of pairs they found. The
player with the most matches wins.
Extension
Ask: Do you have any museums near your
home? Do you ever visit them?
Teachers can also ask students if they like any of
the things shown in the pictures.
