๐ Builders: Celebrity Press Conference
A fully interactive B1.1 speaking task for teens that closes the Pivot module. Learners warm up with four questions about interviewing celebrities, then build a task toolkit in three blocks: The Interview Cycle (reporters open in the present perfect for life so far, stars answer and drop into the past simple for a finished detail, with formula chips and worked examples), Press Question Frames (a table of perfect openers, past-detail follow-ups and polite starters), and Star Answer Frames (leading with a present-perfect achievement, then one past-simple detail, plus press etiquette). Ten press-and-fame words (celebrity, journalist, interview, career, award, achievement, release, fan, quote, headline) appear in a scrollable glossary with full B1 definitions and examples, and six become review flashcards. The reading is a 175-word press conference in which Aylin, Sam and Priya question world-famous footballer Marco, with hover-tooltip words and the perfect-to-past pattern in natural context. Practice offers 8 contextualised fill-in items (ever, did, scored, won, played, was, released, never) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five press-conference prompts and a six-line model dialogue; a guided 40-70 word writing task (a two-question press-conference script) with a four-point checklist and a live word counter with auto-save; and a full 8-question multiple-choice quiz with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
