Core route · 6 min · choose two catch-up questions
Class version: Everyday. Everyday uses shorter language, shorter reading and more support for adult situations. Go further offers longer turns and less support. Choose the topic and depth separately from language level; an advanced speaker may prefer concrete situations. Both keep the same speaking purpose; Go further adds one related language extension to practise in the conversation. The original recording is unchanged; use the adapted reading if the recording is too demanding. These versions are teaching choices, not certified CEFR levels.
Language focus: Comparatives & superlatives. I let the student speak first, show support if needed and return to one or two useful phrases at the end.
Catch up 6 · get ready 6 · discover 8 · speaking round 1 for 10 · first roleplay exchange 12 · oral closing 3.
I choose Watch for observation or Read for factual comprehension. I use one speaking topic and stop the roleplay after the first response and comparison, then select Take it home.
I add speaking round 2 for 8 minutes and the remaining roleplay parts for 7. Round 3 is a reserve for another day. Homework is optional. I skip extensions before cutting time for the student’s own conversation.
All €3/€6 offers, stall decisions and delivery choices are invented teaching scenarios. The two-to-three-day shelf-life detail comes from the News in Levels article, not a reviewed video transcript. I introduce ripe and keeps for before the source. Everyday practises simple comparisons; Go further develops precise comparisons with much, slightly and better value. I ask for a comparison and a personal reason, not an abstract debate or a timed performance. The video remains observation input without a reviewed transcript. News in Levels Level 3 is not a CEFR diagnosis.

Malaysia is promoting durian as a premium international product. Tree-ripened fruit has a short shelf life, creating transport pressure. These answers are supported by the article; no verified video transcript is provided.
