Task 1: Work in pairs. Discuss the different types of mass media. Make notes in the table below. (10 mins)

- Ask Ss to study the table and the example. Make sure they understand the words in the rows, columns and example.

- In weaker classes, explain to them what the example means. E.g. In general, the cost of creating content and advertising on TV is very high. However, we can present both audio and visual information on TV and reach a very large group of audience. Moreover, the information on TV is generally reliable and credible.

- Put Ss in pairs to complete the table. Remind them that they should give general comments about the mass media only (i.e., what is true about most print newspapers etc.).

- Invite some students to share their answers with the class.

- Students share what they know about different types of mass media.

- Students note down the information in the table.

Suggested answer:

2. A: To raise our classmates’ awareness of cyberbullying, we plan to send them some information and videos about the issue. Since it’s both visual and audio content, I don’t think we can use leaflets or the school newsletter. Perhaps we should send the materials via email. It will be quick and free.

B: I agree. But not all students in our school have email accounts. Mass emails usually end up in the spam folder. Many students may not even notice that they have received the

information and videos. Or they may think it’s a spam email and just delete it.

C: How about our school website? It’s a credible source of information and most students visit it every day.

A: Good idea! And it’ll be free of charge! But we need to ask for permission from the head teacher.

B: That shouldn’t be a problem. I’m sure we’ll get the permission to post information on our school website. This will be part of the school anti-bullying campaign.

3.

A: We need to inform people about the upcoming collection of books and clothes for charity. Since we only need to include some text and perhaps a couple of pictures, I think something simple like leaflets is the way to go. Besides, they’re more affordable for a non-profit making

event like this one.

B: I agree that they’re cheap and simple to make. But many people may not pay much attention to them. They may mistake our leaflets as product adverts and throw them away.

C: I see. How about social media sites? People can share the information with their friends and

family quickly, so we can reach a large number of people. Creating social media posts is also easy and doesn’t cost anything.

A & B: Yes, that’s a good idea.
