TEACHER’S NOTES
WORKSHEET 8 – VOLUME I,
CHAPTERS XIV–XVIII – PIP’S EXPECTATIONS
The listening and reading tasks have been separated into two parts to help students understand the
developments.
1 Books closed. Tell students they are going to listen to Chapters XIV–XVI. They should read through the
quotes and match them to each character as they listen. Play CD1, Tracks 14–16. Allow students time to
make their choices. Then draw their attention to the second part of the question. Tell them they are
going to listen to the piece again and that they should write down who each speaker is referring to. Play
the tracks again. Check answers as a class.

2 ANSWER KEY:

3 Books open. Tell your students they are going to listen to and read Chapters XVII–XIX, which brings us
to the end of Volume I. Play CD1, Tracks 17–19. Ask them to read the beginning of the summary. Tell
them they should complete it in not more than 70 words. Explain that a summary simply gives the basic
events, without details of conversations etc.
ANSWER KEY: Answers may vary, but expect the following.
. . . and tells Pip he has inherited a fortune. The man is Mr Jaggers, Miss Havisham’s lawyer. Pip cannot
believe his luck, but Joe is upset, as he realises he will lose Pip. Pip now believes he is really too good for
Joe and Biddy as he is going to be a gentleman. He upsets both of them and the parting is difficult.
4 This task aims to get students thinking about Biddy’s position. She obviously loves Pip but he is blind to
her feelings. Try to place the students in her position. Tell them to open their books at page 46 and read
the last two frames. They should imagine what Pip and Biddy are thinking while they are talking.
ANSWER KEY: Answers will vary.
