1. Who is described?
2. Which personality words do you hear?
3. What do the speakers say about people they know?

Second viewing: Pause when needed. Note only 3–5 useful words.

Hint: Listen for repeated words and examples. You do not need every sentence.

Mini listening: The Bike Group

First listen: Ask a partner or teacher to read the text below aloud twice. Keep the transcript closed at first. Answer: How many friends? What do they do together? What is one difference?

Transcript – open after your first listening try

Hi, I’m Leo. I’m in a small bike group with Noor and Jay. We meet on Saturdays. Noor and I both like long bike rides. Jay prefers short rides and taking photos. We are different, but we have fun together. After cycling, we often get a snack.

Check: 3 friends; cycling or bike rides; Jay prefers short rides and photos.

Reading

The Study Squad

Ava, Niko, Lin and Tom are in a study group. They meet after school on Tuesdays. Ava and Lin both like science. Niko enjoys English. Tom likes maths and drawing. They often help each other with homework. They are not the same. Ava likes quiet work, but Niko likes talking through ideas. The group works well because everyone can help in a different way.

Try first:

1. When do they meet?
2. Who likes science?
3. What does Niko enjoy?
4. How are Ava and Niko different?
5. Why does the group work well?

Help: quiet = ruhig; talk through ideas = Ideen gemeinsam besprechen.

Reading check

1. They meet on Tuesdays after school.
2. Ava and Lin like science.
3. Niko enjoys English.
4. Ava likes quiet work, but Niko likes talking through ideas.
5. Different strengths help the group.

Vocabulary in context

Use words in short chunks, not as a long list.

English chunk	Meaning / use
We hang out after school.	Wir verbringen nach der Schule Zeit zusammen.
We have a lot in common.	Wir haben viel gemeinsam.
We both like music.	Wir mögen beide Musik.
She prefers drawing.	Sie zeichnet lieber.
He is friendly and helpful.	Er ist freundlich und hilfsbereit.
I’m part of the group.	Ich gehöre zur Gruppe.
We are different, but ...	Wir sind verschieden, aber ...

Try: Choose three chunks and make your own fictional examples.

Pronunciation

Goal: clear English, not a perfect accent.

Say these chunks slowly, then at normal speed:

1. We both like music.
2. We often hang out together.
3. She prefers basketball.
4. I’m part of the group.

Notice: In together, stress the middle part: to-GE-ther. In prefer, stress the second part: pre-FER.

Partner feedback: Could you understand the key words? If yes, it works.

Try: Speaking

Model:

This is the River Group. There are four friends. They often meet after school. Two friends like basketball. The others prefer music and drawing. They all like being together. They are different, but they respect each other.

Your turn: Invent a group of 3–4 people.

Speaking frame:

1. This is ...
2. There are ... friends.
3. They often ...
4. They all like ...
5. ... and ... both like ...
6. ... likes ..., but ... prefers ...
7. They are different because ...
8. They work well together because ...

Easy help: Use only 4 sentences. More help: Choose from football, music, gaming, reading, drawing, cycling, cooking, dancing. Challenge: Add one reason with because.

Use: Functional grammar

You need only a few useful patterns.

1. Likes and activities Mia likes drawing. – Ben enjoys playing football. – They love listening to music.

After like / love / enjoy, an activity often uses -ing.

2. Similarities We both like music. – They all like being outside.

3. Differences Ava likes science, but Tom prefers art.

4. Simple present Use it for habits and interests: We meet on Fridays. She plays basketball.

Do not overload your sentence. One clear idea is better than a long unclear sentence.

Controlled E-look: past perfect

Only as a small preview, not as a main goal:

Before Jay joined the group, he had never tried cycling with friends.

You only need to notice: had + past participle can show an earlier past action. You do not need to use it freely here.

Communicate: Writing

Task: Write 6–8 short sentences about a fictional peer group.

Writing frame:

My group is called ... . There are ... people. We often ... . We all like ... . ... and ... both like ... . ... likes ..., but ... prefers ... . We are different because ... . I like this group because ... .

Word bank: friendly – funny – helpful – quiet – active – creative – music – sport – games – books – drawing – cycling – together – both – but – because

Direct check before you finish:

1. Did you use at least one activity?
2. Did you show one similarity?
3. Did you show one difference?
4. Did you use but or because?
5. Can a classmate understand your text?

Mediation mini-task

A German-speaking classmate asks: Was macht die Gruppe gern zusammen?

Read: The Park Crew meets on Saturdays. They take photos, play football and sometimes listen to music.

Say the key information in German, not every word. Example: Die Gruppe trifft sich samstags und macht gern Fotos, spielt Fußball und hört manchmal Musik.

Feedback and improve

Use this short peer-feedback routine:

1. Two stars: Name two things that are clear.
2. One step: Name one sentence that can be improved.
3. Improve: Rewrite one sentence.
4. Use again: Say or write the improved sentence one more time.

Safe learning: Use fictional names and profiles. Do not post private social-media data. Recordings are voluntary and should stay private unless everyone clearly agrees. Do not upload classmates’ voices, pictures or texts to external AI tools without permission. If you use AI for practice, check the language level and feedback; your own text should not be replaced.

Mini transfer

Imagine a new student joins the group. Say three friendly sentences:

1. You can join us.
2. We often ...
3. You don’t have to like everything we like.

Think: Belonging does not mean everyone is the same.

Self-check: Can do

Mark each statement: Yes / A little / Not yet.

1. I can describe a fictional friend group.
2. I can name shared interests.
3. I can show a difference with but.
4. I can use both or all.
5. I can understand the main idea of a short text or video.
6. I can improve one sentence after feedback.

Not yet? Go back to the model and use the speaking or writing frame.
