I am struggling to come up with gist questions from the gambling text in the checkpoint. I already got  done 'What is the main topic of the text?' Please help!

You only need one to pass but others could be about, or at least I did

the purpose of the article

the people who read the article

the kind of places you would find the article

Cheers for that Orla! I passed that question but I still tanked on question 2. So I have one more attempt to pass this checkpoint.

I would ask the class if they have ever backed a horse, bought raffle tickets or lottery tickets, been to a casino etc. Introduce some realia associated with the topic etc.... hope this helps! :)

I passed the the checkpoint finally.Thanks guys for all your help!
