If I were to describe how she looks, I would say she
is very pretty She has short black hair, brown
almond-shaped eyes, a small nose and a small
pointed chin She is not very tall but not short either
and she is quite slim She doesn't like to dress up sol
usually see her wearing jeans and a T-shirt or
sweater She has a very nice personality and a
wonderful sense of humor, but she can also get a
little depressed from time to time I can always count
on her to be honest and to give me the best advice
What I like about Mai is that she has the same
hobbies with me We both enjoy music, playing the
guitar and singing We like going to the cinema but
sometimes can't agree on which movie to see
Whatever we're doing, it's always fun to be with her
In addition, since I am better in math and science
and she is better in English and languages, we can
always help each other if we get confused about a
difficult homework assignment We are lucky that we
complement each other so well and that we get along
so well I hope that our friendship will continue and
be just as strong after we graduate from high school
We would like to study at the same university

Smiling shyly, she said "how do you do" to me After that, she continued her work, paying no more attention to me "What a stuck-up fellow" I thought Then I began to examine the room There was no difference in the fitting from any other room I had seen But it had been thoroughly cleaned by my new roommate, no doubt
Minutes later, I started to examine her She was thin, short and dark Her hair was in a completely disastrous mess like a bunch of straw Her dirty clothes and tired look were clearly signs of a long journey Well, her T-shirt was too big for her and her trousers were a bit short, which made her look funny What's more, she wore a pair of rubber scandals, which were indeed out of fashion In a word, she did not look like a smart freshman at all "A yokel", I concluded The second time she spoke, her accent told me that she was from the south
"Shall I help you to get your luggage from the ground floor?" I did not refuse since I really needed help Wow She was quick in action Before I said
"Thanks", she had already walked out of the room and was soon far ahead of

Period 5: LANGUAGE FOCUS
I Objectives
By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
— Distinguish the sounds / d3 / and / tl /
— Pronounce the words and sentences containing these sounds correctly
— Use some structures containing infinitives with and without fo appropriately

and explains the differences in producing them work + The phonetic sound / a3/ is a voiced palatal
voiced = vocal cords vibrate while making this sound
palatal = put your tongue behind your top teeth, push air
as you drop your tongue away from the roof of your mouth
+ The phonetic sound / t\ / is an unvoiced fricative palatal
unvoiced = vocal cords do not vibrate while making this
sound
fricative palatal = touch your tongue to the back of your
upper teeth and pull your tongue away as you push air out
of your mouth
— T plays the tape (or reads) once for Ss to hear the words
containing these two sounds Then T plays the tape (or
reads) again and this time asks Ss to repeat after the tape
(or T)
Pronouncing words containing the sounds
— T reads the words in each column all at once
— T reads the words once again, each time with a word in
each column to help Ss distinguish the differences between
the sounds in the words
— T reads the words and asks Ss to repeat them
— T asks Ss to practice pronouncing the words in pairs
— T goes around providing help
— T asks some Ss to pronounce the words and gives
correction if necessary
Practising sentences containing the target sounds
— T reads the sentences and asks Ss underline the words
with the sounds and write / d3 / and / t/ / under them
— T asks Ss providing the sentences 1n pairs
— T goes around to providing help
— T asks some Ss to read the sentences and gives feedback

Trang 5+ I have letters to write
+ Does he get anything to eat?
+ There is plenty to do
— T asks Ss to comment on the use of fo + infinitives in
these examples T reviews the form and use of
to-infinitives in the examples T may give Ss the following
handout
In the examples above the infinitives are used to replace
relative clauses
1 The infinitive can be placed after nouns / pronouns to
show how they can be used or what is to be done with them
+ I have letters to write = I have letters that I must write
+ Does he get anything to eat? = Does he get anything that
he can eat?
Similarly with to-infinitives + preposition:
someone to talk to cushions to sit on a table to write on
a tool to open it with a case to keep my records in
2 Use of passive to-infinitive
+ There is plenty to do =
1 plenty of things we can do
2 plenty of work we must do
In the there + be+ noun / pronoun + _ to-infinitive
construction, when there is an idea of duty, as in (b) above,
a passive to-infinitive is possible: There is a lot to be done
But the active to-infinitive is more usual

A crow had not had anything to drink for a long time One
day she saw a pitcher There was a little water in the
pitcher, but it was too low for her to reach What was she
to do? She tried to break the pitcher with her beak, and
then to overturn it on the ground, but it was too hard and
heavy to do Then she thought of a plan She picked up a
