It’s nice for students to be encouraged to listen to something that can engage them on different levels like something funny. But we as a teachers must be careful because jokes are often hard to understand in a foreign language. Examples: students try to understand the jokes
1.-What do you call a spaceship with a faulty air-conditioning unit?

A frying saucer!
2.- If a jumper and a vest had a fight, which one would win?
The jumper, of course - vests are completely 'armless!
Teacher clarify the students´ doubts about the jokes

Sheet A – fill in the gaps :

* What do you ____ a spaceship with a faulty ___________ unit?
A _______ saucer
* ___ a jumper and a vest ___ a ______, which one would ____?
The jumper, _______ - vests are _________ 'armless
Sheet B – circle the word you hear
*What do you name ( call / say )a spaceship with a (broken / faulty) falling air-conditioning unit?

A ( flying / frying ) fried saucer
* If a jumper and a (vest / west ) nest had a fight, which one would (win / lose )?
The jumper, of course - vests are completely 'armless
The advantage of graded activities like these is that everyone is working on the same text at a level they find comfortable. The main disadvantage is that teachers need to prepare more material for a lesson
