MIDTERM PAPER

Procedure
1. Write the words air travel on the board. Ask your students to work in pairs and brainstorm
all the words they know associated with this topic. Set a time limit of 3 to 4 minutes for this.
Listen to their ideas and categorise the words on the board – for example, verbs, parts of the
aircraft, airports and check-in, people, weather, adjectives. Make sure all the members of the class
understand each vocabulary item.
2. Tell the students they are going to read six technical questions about aircraft. Ask them to decide
which of the three answers to each question they think is correct. Give them the first part of
Worksheet 1. Do not let them look at the text at this stage. When they have chosen the best
answers, ask them to compare their choice with a partner. Then listen to their ideas but do not
correct them. Ask them to read the text and check their answers. Check that they have found
the correct answers. Ask them if they are surprised by any of the answers.
3. Return to the list of words on the board and highlight any people or jobs (for example,
pilot, stewardess, engineer). Ask the students to work in pairs or small groups. Give them
Worksheet 2 and ask them to match each of the job titles with two of the things that person
does. Note that some of the job titles are singular and others are plural. This should help the students
in their choices. Check the answers and make sure that everyone agrees. Deal with any
vocabulary questions that may arise (e.g. collision, refuel).
4. Ask the students to look again at the list of words on the board. Highlight any verbs (e.g. take
off, land). Tell the students they are going to see a list of 12 common aviation verbs and 12
sentences, each one with a gap. They should fill the gaps using the verbs. Give them
Worksheet 3. When they have finished the exercise, ask them to compare their answers with a
partner. Then check that they have the correct answers. Be prepared to deal with questions about
some of the vocabulary in this exercise (e.g. cruise, sharply, clearance).
5. Give the students Worksheet 4. Ask them to work in pairs and label the different parts of
the aircraft. Check the answers. Note the pronunciation of fuselage - /'fju…z´,lA…Z/. If you have
time, present some other words for parts of the aircraft, e.g. landing gear, hold, wing flaps,
nose-wheel and wing tips.
6. Ask the students to look at the second part of Worksheet 4. These are safety instructions you
usually hear when travelling by plane. Ask the students to fill the gaps using the words at the
beginning of the exercise. Then ask them to compare their answers with a partner. Check that
they have the correct answers. Note the pronunciation of aisle - / aIl / (the ‘s’ is silent).
7. Give the students a copy of Worksheet 5 and ask them to match the words or prefixes in the
left-hand column with the words in the right-hand column to make aviation terms. Check the
answers. Then ask them to decide which part of each expression carries the main stress – is it
the first element or the second element? Note that there is a generalised patter here. If the
expression is a noun + noun expression, the main stress falls on the first element (e.g.
GROUND staff). If it is an adjective + noun expression, the main stress falls on the second
element (e.g. bad WEAther).
8. Finally, ask the students to decide which of the two stress patterns the 12 words in the third
exercise follow. Ask them to do this in pairs. Then read the words aloud with the correct
stress pattern (see the Answer Key) so that they can check their answers
Choose the best answer. Then look at the text and check your answers.
The demand for air travel is increasing all the time and modern passenger aircraft are
required to fly longer and longer distances. The first jumbo jet was the Boeing 747-100 which
entered service in 1970 and had a capacity of about 350 passengers. The latest in the 747 series is
the 747-400, which can carry around 500 passengers and fly over 13,000 km without refuelling.
Boeing’s great rival in the passenger airline industry is Airbus, based in Toulouse in the south of
France. Airbus recently launched its giant A380 aircraft, the biggest passenger plane in history.
Designed to fly distances of up to 14,800 km, the A380 can carry 555 passengers. Most passenger
aircraft have a cruising altitude of between 30,000 and 35,000 feet, from 9,000 to 10,500 metres,
although technically they can normally fly higher than 40,000 feet. They rarely do this, mainly
because of the large in cabin pressure this would reqire. The 747 – 400 has a maxi mum speed of
939km per hour. Compared with this, its ground speed at take-off seems quite slow – around 290
km per hour.
Match the job titles with the tasks each one performs. There are two tasks for each job.
1. air-traffic controllers a. carries out minor in-flight repairs
2. the pilot (or captain) b. refuel aircraft
3. the co-pilot c. is often also called the first officer
4. the flight engineer d. serve food and drink to passengers
5. flight attendants e. maintain radio contact with aircraft
6. ground staff f. is responsible for the safe completion
of the flight
g. help prevent mid-air collisions
h. instruct passengers in the use of safety
equipment
i. assists other pilots by monitoring
instruments
j. shares flying duties with the captain
k. supervises all other crew members
l. load and unload baggage
Fill the gaps using these key aviation verbs.
1. Wing
2. Fuselage
3. Tail
4. Engine
5. cockpit
6. rudder

Match the words or prefixes in the left-hand column with those in the right-hand
column to make aviation terms.
1. co- a. officer
2. flight b. desk
3. ground c. altitude
4. bad d. pilot
5. check-in e. staff
6. safety f. attendant
7. first g. equipment
8. high h. weather
Now decide which element in each expression carries the main stress. For example,
CAbin crew
1
Match these aviation terms to one of these two stress patterns:
1) l l l 2) l l l
