Unit 1a Book

After the two sailors were rescued, a safety officer was interviewing the rescue pilot on the incident. If you left the Incident Report Form from the previous task open, you can now see what the safety officer asked about and what the answers were. But what was the exact wording of the questions? Give the questions in this task. You can see that past simple affirmative questions are not enough. You should also be able to ask about every sentence element. If you had problems completing questions in the task above, study the Past Simple Tense overview again together with this explanation of questions.

After you have prepared the questions and answers in the two previous tasks, it´s time to role-play the interview with the rescue pilot. Work in pairs. Take turns to be the rescue pilot and a safety officer. The safety officer interviews the pilot and asks questions based on the form. Before you start the interview, come up with at least two extra questions that are not in the incident report form. After practicing the interview, record one of the versions and submit it here. Your recording should be in the mp3 format and should not be longer than 3 minutes (10 MB).
