TALK ABOUT IMPORTANT LIFE EVENTS
UNIT 10 T-114
LESSON 1 TALK ABOUT IMPORTANT LIFE EVENTS

• Read the social media message aloud and ask, Does Yuki think her first trip to the U.S. is an important life event? Do you agree with her?
CULTURE NOTE The hashtag (#) before the phrase is most commonly used on Twitter. The hashtag means the topic is trending, meaning it is popular to follow.
Winning is an adjective used to describe someone or something that is doing very well in life.
1 VOCABULARY
• Read the vocabulary title aloud. Ask, What is a
milestone? (an action or event that marks an important change or stage in development)
• Focus on the pictures. Say, Look at the first picture. The girl with red hair is born. Then she grows up and learns to play the piano. What does she do next? (goes to college and gets her degree)
• Have Ss listen to all the phrases, then listen and repeat.
OPTION For higher-level Ss, write on the board:
learn to play ________________
go to ______________________
get your ___________________
Ask, What other ways can you think of to end these phrases? (For example, learn to play piano / guitar / violin)
OPTION Ask, Are there any other milestones you would add to this list? Write suggestions from Ss on the board.
EXTENSION Hang a map on the wall of the classroom. Ask, Where were you born? Did you ever move? If so, from where to where? Give each student a thumbtack to mark the city or country they came from. Put one thumbtack on the location of your school. Let Ss attach string or yarn from their thumbtack to the school location.
• Before you play the audio, ask Ss to preview the milestones listed. Ask, Where is Tampico?
(southeastern part of the state of Tamaulipas in Mexico) Where is Monterrey? (capital of the northeastern state of Nuevo Leon in Mexico)
• If appropriate, go over the example. Play the audio and pause it after the first sentence. Ask, Where was Inez born? (in Tampico)
• Have Ss listen and complete the exercise individually.
Have them listen again if appropriate.
• Pair Ss to compare answers.
• Go over answers as a class.
• Go over the directions and the example conversation.
Then say two true milestones and one lie about yourself and see if Ss can guess which is the lie.
• Have Ss play the game in pairs. Circulate to help as needed.
• Ask Ss to repeat the activity with several different partners to practice.
EXTENSION If time allows, have Ss play the
icebreaker 18 & Under. To play the game, participants take turns revealing an accomplishment they achieved before they turned 18. For large classes, divide Ss into smaller groups to exchange information.
2 GRAMMAR
• Write on the board: Did you move here? Ask, Is this a question about the past or the future? (the past) Tell Ss this is a simple past question that uses a regular verb.
Leave the question on the board to refer to later.
• Focus on the grammar chart. Read the yes / no questions and affirmative answers and negative answers aloud.
• Point to the question you wrote on the board. Call on one S and ask, Did you move here? Elicit Yes, I did or No, I didn’t. Then point to the S and ask another S, Did [he] move here? (Yes, he did. / No, he didn’t.)
• Point out that we usually don’t use contractions in affirmative short answers. Say, We say Yes, I did. But we do use contractions in negative answers. We say No, I didn’t instead of No, I did not.
• Focus on the Information questions portion of the chart. Read the examples aloud. Say, The answers in the chart are short answers. How can we answer these questions with long answers? (For example, He started working in 2015.)
EXTENSION Ask Ss to answer the questions in the first part of the chart about themselves. If they give a negative answer, ask them an information question.
For example, Did you learn English at school? / No, I didn’t. / Where did you learn English? / In Colombia.
• Go over the Notes. Ask one S, Where were you born?
Ask another student, Were you born in [China]?
