Show students pictures of famous people. Have them state NAMES, OCCUPATIONS, PLACES of RESIDENCE, and any facts/ rumors they've heard. Elicit statements in the simple present tense. Write these statements on the board. Point out how the simple present tense is used to STATE FACTS, STATE TRUTHS, EXPRESS POSSESSION, EXPRESS HABITUAL STATES or ACTIONS. Example: His name IS Arnold Schwarzenegger. He LIVES in California. He DOESN'T MAKE movies anymore. He HAS a family, and he WORKS in politics.

We often use NO for emphasis even when there's an alternative. For example, you can say I DON'T HAVE ANY TIME. But I HAVE NO TIME is slightly stronger (at least to my ears). There are many expressions (often informal) that use NO + NOUN. Again, I think this combination is strong. It expresses complete absence, impossibility, or negation. Examples: This is NO TIME TO panic. There's NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT. He's NO FRIEND OF MINE. I'm NO STRANGER TO hard work.
