🔀 Builders: Interview with a Champion

A fully interactive B1.1 reading-skills lesson for teens that opens the Pivot module's reading slot. Learners warm up with four questions about champions and the tense change in real speech, then build a reading toolkit in three blocks: The Pattern (interview questions open in the present perfect for life so far, and answers drop into the past simple for finished details, with formula chips and worked examples), Two-Colour Mapping (a strategy for marking perfect openers versus past details as you read), and Spot the Signal Words (a side-by-side table of present-perfect signals — ever, never, so far, this year — against past-simple signals — yesterday, last winter, in 2019, when). Ten champion-and-career words (champion, career, medal, achievement, tournament, rival, so far, record, retire, coach) appear in a scrollable glossary with full B1 definitions and examples, and six become review flashcards. The reading is a 150-word magazine interview in which Aylin questions skate champion Sam, with eight hover-tooltip words and the perfect-to-past pattern in natural context. Practice offers 8 contextualised fill-in-the-blank items (has, won, entered, did, since, so) with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five interview-your-champion prompts and a six-line model dialogue between Marco and Priya; a guided 40-70 word writing task (a two-question interview for a personal hero) 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.
