enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it, and

they feel the attraction of some new object.

loyalty It tells us/me that the 2 friends must

be loyal to each other, and they must know

each other so well that there can can be no

suspicions between them (line 1-3,

Ss may us the simple past tense and past continuous in their

writing If needed , T may revise the uses of these tenses T

make clear that :

+ While the past simple is used to talk about an event that

happened and finished in the past , the past continuous is used

to talk about an event that was happening at a specific past time

We often use the past continuous together whith the past

simple The past continuous indicates a longer ‘ background’

lesson 5 : Language focus

I Objectives

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:

- Distinguish the sounds ? /dz/ and /tS/.

- Pronounce the words and sentences containing these sounds correctly.

-Use some structures containing infinitives with and without to appropriately.

II Materials

Textbook, handouts.

III Anticipated problems

Ss may find it difficult to pronounce the 2 sounds, so T should prepare a lot of practice.

IV Procedure

arrangement

Pronouncing the 2 sounds separately

- T models the 2 sounds / dЗ / and / t∫ / for a few

times and explains the differences in producing them

+ The phonetic sound / dЗ / 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 palys the tape( or reads) once for SS to hear the

words containing these 2 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 read the words once again, each time with a word

in each column to help distinguish the differences

between the sounds in the words

- T reads the words and asks Ss to repeat them

- T asks to practise 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

/ dЗ / and / t∫ / under them

- T asks Ss providing the sentences in pairs

- T goes around to provide help

- T asks some Ss to read the sentences and gives

feedback

Wholeclass,individualwork & pair work

a Presentation

- T writes some sentences on the board and underline

the to- infinitive:

+ 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 to-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:

Someome 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 =

a plenty of things we can do

b 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

- T continues writing some other sentences on the

board:

+ I’m sorry to trouble you

+ It is easy to please that customer

+ The pie is too hot to eat

- T asks some Ss to comment on the examples T

might explain to Ss that we can put to-infinitive after

adjectives The form is: adj + to-infinitive; adj +

too/enough + to-infinitive (too before an adj means

excessively; enough after an adj means to the

necessary degree)

- T asks some Ss to give some similar examples

b) Practise

Exercise 1

- T asks Ss to do Exercise 1 individually and then

compare their answers with another student

- T calls on some Ss to read out their answers

- T gives correct answers:

1 Who wants something to eat?

2 I have some letters to write.

3 I am/was delighted to hear the news.

4 My mother has some shopping to do.

5 You always have too much to talk about.

pair work

6 It is lovely to see you again.

7 It’s/was too cold to go out.

8 I’m happy to know that you have passed the exams

2 Infinitive without to (bare infinitive)

a) Presentation

- T calls on some Ss to give out some verbs that arefollowed by bare infinitives

- T may make clear that:

+ We can use a noun or pronoun object + bareinfinitive after verbs of perceptions such asfeel,hear,watch,see,notice,observe,perceive,smell The bare infinitive generally refers to the completeaction

+ We use the bare infinitive after let and make:Let SO do STH = allow SO to do STH; make SO doSTH = force SO to do STH

b) Practice

Exercise 2

- T asks Ss to do exercise 2 in pairs Ss have torewrite the sentences by using the words given

- T asks them to compare answers with another pair

- T calls on some Ss to go to the board to write theiranswers

- T asks other Ss to feedback and give correctanswers:

Ss that they shouls use as many sentences with infinitives and bare-infinitives as possible Thegroup which produces the most logical story withthe most appropriate sentences using to-infinitivesand bare-infinitives will be the winner

to T calls on some groups to tell their story and elicitsfeedback from the class

- T gives final comments and provides correction ifnecessary

Suggested story

A wise crow

A crow hadn’t 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

Christina, a successfulbusinesswoman Hello

Christina, welcome to our programme.

Christina: Hello and thank you ! It’s nice being with

you tonight.

about the most memorable experience in your life ?

Christina: Well, my most unforgetable experience

happened 13 years ago, when my house burned down.

Interviewer: Really ? How did it happen ?

Christina: The fire started in the kitchen where I

forgot to turn off the gas stove.

Interviewer: What were you doing at that time ? Christina: I was sleeping when I was suddenly woken

up by terrible heat.I opened my eyes to find myself surrounded by wall of fire.

voice calling my name I rushed to her She carried

me out Luckily, I got away without even a minor burn.

Interviewer: Not many people are so lucky Did the

fire affect you in any way ?

Christina: Oh, yes Yes, very much, in fact Although

I lost many things in the fire, the experience helped

me to grow up.

Interviewer: What do you mean ?

Christina: Well, before the fire I was selfish I always

complained to my mother about how small my room was, or how few clothes I had Then the fire came

and destroyed everything we owned But I slowly

began to realise that I didn’t really need my old

things I just needed my family After all, you van get

new clothes anytime, but a family can never be

replaced.

V Procedure

Time Teacher’activities Sts’ activities

A quiz about writing personal letters

(To remind Ss of the rules of writing personal letters in

English)

- T asks Ss if they have ever written a personal letter in

English and then announces the Quiz game and the rule

For example: “I’m going to divide the class into 2 big

groups Then I’m going to read out some questions

about the rules of writing personal letters in English You

need to give your responses as quickly as possible For

each question, if your answer is quicker and correct, you

get one point for your group Then we will add up the

points for each group Which one has more points will be

the winner”

- T divides the class into 2 big groups: A and B

- T reads out the questions and leads the game

The Quiz

1 How many parts does a personal letter normally

have ?

2 What are these parts ?

3 What do we normally write in the Salutation ?

4 What do we normally write in the Closing ?

- T gets Ss to add up the points for each group and

announces the winner

Answers:

1 5 parts

2 The Heading, the Salutation (Greeting), the Body,

the Closing and the Signature

3 We normally write “Dear” or “Hello/Hi” etc.

plus the name of the person we are writing to and

a comma at the end.

4 We normally write something like “Sincerely”,

“yours”, “Love”,”Cheer”, “Best wishes”, “See you soon” etc and after that we put a comma.

5 Our signature normally goes under the Closing.

Whole class

lesson 5: Language focus

I Objectives

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:

- Distinguish the sounds / m /, / n / and / ŋ /.

- Pronounce the words and sentences containing these sounds correctly.

- Distinguish the uses of different verb tenses: present simple for indicating the past, past simple, past continuous and past perfect.

- Use these ver tenses to solve communicative tasks.

II Materials

Textbook, handouts.

III Anticipated problems

Ss might have difficulty distinguishing and using different ver tenses correctly.

Therefore, T should be ready to assist them.

- T models the 3 sounds / m / n / and / ŋ / for a few time and

explains the differences in producing them (i.e When

producing / m /, Ss close their lips; when producing / n / Ss’

tongues touch the roof of their mouths; when producing / ŋ /

their tongues touch their soft palates For all 3 sounds, the air

goes through the nose)

- T plays the tape ( or reads) once for Ss to hear the words

containing these 2 sounds Then T plays the tape (or reads) again

and this time asks Ss to repeat after the tape (or T)

- T asks Ss to read the words in each column out loud in chorus

for a few more times Then T calls on some Ss to read the words

out loud T listens and corrects if Ss pronounce the target words

incorrectly If many Ss do not pronounce the words correctly, T

may want to get them to repeat after the tape (or himself) again

in chorus and then individually

Practising sentences containing the target sounds

- T asks Ss to work in pairs and take turn to read aloud the given

sentences (p.29, Practise these sentences).

- T goes around to listen and takes notes of the typical errors

- T calls on some Ss to read the sentences again and provides

corrective feedback

Exercise 1

a) Presentation

- If necessary, T receives the forms, meanings and uses of the

present simple, present perfect, and present continuous

Present simple

+ Form:

* bare root for I, you we they

* verb + s/es for he, she, it

+ Meaning: present time

+ Use:

* Use the Simple present to express the idea that an action is

repeated or usual The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily

event, a scheduled event or something that often happens It can

also be something a person often forgets or usually doesn’t do

E.g: The train leaves every morning at 8 a.m

The train doesn’t leave at 9 a.m

When does the train usually leave ?

* Speakers sometimes use the Simple present to express the

idea that an action is happening or is not happening now This

can only be done with Non-Continuous Verbs and certain Mixed

Verbs

E.g: He needs you right now

Do you have your passport with you ?

Present continuous

+ Form: am/is/are + V-ing

+ Meaning: Present time

+ Use:

* Use the Present Continuous with Normal Verbs tp express

the idea that something is happening now, at this time It can also

be used to show that something is not happening now

E.g: Are you sleeping ?

Present perfect

+ Form: have/has + Past Participle

+ Meaning: Present

+ Use:

* We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened

at an unspecified time before now The exact time is not

Individualwork,pair work &whole class

important So we can use the Present Perfect to describe our

experience It is like saying, “I have the experience of ” We

can also use this tense to say that we have never had a certain

experience The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a

specific event

E.g: I have seen that movie 20 times.

I think I have met him once before.

* With Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of

Mixed Verbs we use the Present Perfect to show that something

started in the past and has continued up until now “For 5

minutes” , “For 2 weeks” , and “since Tuesday” are all durations

which can be used with the Present Perfect

E.g: I have had a cold for 2 weeks

Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl

Note: * You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific

time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week,

when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that

day, one day, etc We CAN use the Present Perfect with

unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times,

several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc

- T emphasises that we can use all these present tenses in telling

stories (which are often concerned with past events) to make the

stories more interesting

- If T sees that Ss have already mastered the forms, meanings,

and uses of these verb tenses, T can skip the presentation stage to

save time, and go straight to the practice stage

b) Practice

- T gets Ss to do Exercise 1 individually and then find a partner

to check their answers with

- T checks with the whole class and provides corrective

feedback

Answer: 1 invites 2 sets 3 gets 4 waves 5 promises 6.

carries 7 contains 8 has baked 9 is 10 is shining 11 are

singing 12 is

a) Presentation

- If necessary, T reviews the forms, meanings, and uses of the

past simple and past continuous

Past simple

+ Form: V + ed or irregular verbs

+ Meaning: Past time

+ Use:

Individualwork,pair work &whole class

* Use the Simple Past to express the idea that an actionstarted and finished at a specific time in the past Sometimes,the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, butthey do have one specific time in mind.

E.g: I saw a horror film last night

He didn’t wash his car

* We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions

in the past These actons happen to the following order: 1 st, 2nd,

E.g: I live in Brazil for years

10 The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit whichstopped in the past It can have the same meaning as “used to ”

To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often addexpressions such as: always , often, usually, never, when I was achid, when I was youger etc

E.g : They never went to school They always skipped theirclasses

11 The Simple Past can also be used to describe past facts orgeneralizations which are no longer true As in USE 4 above ,this use of the Simple Past is quite similar to the expression

“used to ”

E g : She was shy as a child , but now she is very outgoing

Past continuous :

+ Form : Was / were + V-ing

+ Meaning : Past time

+ Use :

* Use the past Continuous to indicate that a longer actoin in thepast was interrupted The interrupted is a shorter action in theSimple Past or a specific time Remember this can be a realinterruption or just an interruption in time

E g : I was watching TV when she called

Last at 6 PM , I was eating dinner

* When you usethe Past Continuous with two actions in the samesentence, it expresses the idea that both actions were happening

in the same time The actions are parallel

E.g: I was studying while he was making dinner.

* In English, we often use a series of parallel actions to describethe atmosphere at a particular time in the past.

E.g: When I walked into the office, several people were busilytyping, some were talking on the phones, the boss was yellingdirections, and customers were waiting to be helped Onecustomer was yelling at a secretary and waving his hands Otherswere complaining to each other about the bad service

- If T sees that Ss have already mastered the forms, meanings,and uses of these verb tenses, T can skip the presentation stage tosave time, and go straight to the practice stage

b) Practice

- T gets Ss to do Exercise 2 individually and then find a partner

to check their answers with

- T checks the answers with the whole class and providescorrective feedback

+ Form: Had + Past Participle

+ Meaning: Past time

+ Use:

* The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurredbefore another action expressed in the Past Simple It can alsoshow that something happened before a specific time in the past.E.g: I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went toHanoi

* With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses

of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that somethingstarted in the past and continued up until another action in thepast

E.g: We had had that car for 10 years before it broke down

- If T sees that Ss have already mastered the form, meaning, anduses of this verb tense, T can skip the presentation stage to savetime, and go straight to the practice stage

b) Practice

- T gets Ss to do Exercise 3 individually and then find a partner

to check their answers with

- T checks the answers with the whole class and providescorrective feedback

10’ Communicative practice for all 6 verb tenses covered in the

lesson (production stage)

- T distributes the worksheets to Ss Then T guides how tointerview questions ans answer them and reminds Ss to use thecorrect verb tenses

- T gets Ss to work in groups, then goes around and offers help

- After checking that Ss have finished, T calls on a group toperform their interview again in front of the class and elicitsfeedback from the class
