In today’s lesson, the focus is on analyzing a comprehension passage from the May 2019 Paper 2A, which discusses electric buses in Shenzhen, China. Students are instructed to skim and then reread the text to understand the writer’s purpose, with an emphasis on identifying whether the intent is to entertain, persuade, or inform—with the correct answer being to inform. The lesson also introduces a mnemonic “PIE” for remembering these purposes and advises students to explore specific phrases within the text to gain a deeper understanding.
