UNIT 5 T-58
LESSON 3 TELL A STORY ABOUT A PARTY
Choose a warm-up activity from the Warm-Up Activity Bank on page xxii.
• Read the lesson title aloud. Tell a short story about a party. Include information about the food. For example, I went to a great party on Friday. It was at an Italian restaurant downtown. It was a goodbye party for my co-worker Melody. The appetizers were amazing!
I ate so many that I didn’t have room for a main dish!
• Call on a couple of Ss to share a short story about a party. Tell them to include information about the food.
• Call on a S to read the social media message aloud.
Ask, Who threw the party Mehmet attended? (his sister) How do we know? (because he says, Good job, Sis) What does he mean when he says good job? (that she planned the party well; the party was a success) LANGUAGE NOTE Sis is short for sister. Similarly, bro can be used as an abbreviation for brother.
1 VOCABULARY
• Read the vocabulary topic aloud. Have Ss look at the pictures and read the captions. Explain any foods Ss haven’t heard about.
• Have Ss listen. Then have them listen and repeat.
LANGUAGE NOTE Doughnut is the official dictionary spelling of the word. Donut is the simplified
Americanized spelling.
• Have Ss fill in the charts individually.
• After pairs discuss, bring the class together. Read the first question and call on volunteers to share. Then call on Ss to write the names of other party foods on the board. Invite Ss to say which foods they know and like.
2 GRAMMAR
• Books closed. On the board, write, Sometimes, when I’m working on a project, I don’t get much sleep. Last night I only slept a few hours. Today I’m going to drink a lot of coffee! Underline the quantifiers as shown.
• Point to the underlined words and say, These are quantifiers—words or phrases that tell the amount of something. Explain that we use some different quantifiers for count and non-count nouns. We also use some different quantifiers in affirmative and negative sentences.
• Tell Ss to open their books to page 58.
• To review count and non-count nouns, focus on the yellow box to the right of the chart. Call on a S to read the definition and examples of count nouns.
Elicit other examples. (for example, pens, students, tissues, bags) As Ss suggest items, ask, Can these items be counted? (yes) Then have a different S read the definition and example of a non-count noun. Ask Ss to read the categories of non-count nouns and to study the examples.
• Direct Ss’ attention to the chart. Point out the heads and the sentence types. Read the two sentences in the first horizontal line (I have many… I have a lot of…) and say, Many and a lot of can be used with count nouns;
only a lot of can be used with non-count nouns.
• In pairs, have Ss read and compare the remaining sentences in the Count and Non-count columns of the chart.
• Follow up by eliciting comparisons between the various quantifiers. For example, ask, How is some used? (in affirmative sentences with both count and non-count nouns) If Ss provide incomplete information, prompt by saying, And? Do the same for each quantifier in the chart.
• Read the first note. Write two sentences on the board:
A few people came to my presentation.
Few people came to my presentation.
Elicit the difference in meaning (A few means that a small number of people came; few means not many / hardly any people came.)
• Repeat with little / a little. Write two sentences on the board:
There’s a little ice cream left.
There’s little ice cream left.
Elicit the difference in meaning (A little means a small amount of ice cream; little means not much / hardly any ice cream.)
• Read the second note. Say, There is much to do. This sentence is not wrong, but more commonly you would hear There’s a lot to do.
• Read the final note and examples. Tell Ss that these are also known as measurement words or counters. Elicit additional examples and write them on the board.
EXTENSION Write the two columns of measurement words and foods on the board. Have Ss compete to write phrases using a counter in the left column and a food in the right. Instruct them to raise their hands as they finish writing. Have the first S that finishes read out the complete phrases.
a loaf of water a tube of soup a can of bread a glass of advice a piece of toothpaste
(a loaf of bread, a tube of toothpaste, a can of soup, a glass of water, a piece of advice)

UNIT 5 T-59
3 LISTENING
• Ask Ss to look at the picture. Ask, What do you see?
(a group of people at a birthday party) What are they wearing on their heads? (party hats) What is the woman in the middle holding? (a cake)
• Tell Ss they will listen to a radio show. Have them preview the question and the answer choices. If necessary, review go wrong. (When a situation goes wrong, there are problems or there is a negative result.) Ask, Which of the answer choices sounds to you like a possible story?
• Play the audio once and have Ss answer the question.
• Bring the class together. Call on a volunteer to read the question and the answer.
• Read the Listening Skill aloud. Write the time words on the board: when, after, before, at first, at that moment, later. To review the use of each word, provide a scenario (For example, My car broke down on the way
to work.) Provide details using the time words from the skill box. (For example, I was stopped for a red light when my car broke down. At that moment, I was thinking about...)
• Have Ss skim the illustrations. In pairs, have them predict the order. Then have them listen to the recording and number the pictures.
• Have Ss compare answers with a partner. Play the recording a third time, if appropriate.
• Bring the class together and ask, Were your predictions correct?
• Point to the time words you copied on the board and instruct Ss to refer to them as they retell the story, picture by picture.
• Circulate and listen for time words. Check that Ss are retelling in the past tense and using the time words correctly.
4 TRY IT YOURSELF
• Model making up a story about a party. Write the words from Set 3 on the board and circle each one.
Then invite Ss to brainstorm around these words. Write Ss’ ideas on the board.
• Start telling a story using the words on the board.
(For example, A few days ago, I was hosting a party…) Invite Ss to add to the story until all the circled words are used.
• Give each group a clean sheet of paper. Have Ss choose one person to be the note taker. Have them write the words in Set 1 or Set 2, circle them, and brainstorm additional words. Then have them make up their stories. Remind them to use time words from the Listening skill as they speak.
• Circulate as Ss tell their stories. Assist as needed.
• Remind groups that all Ss in a group should participate in the storytelling.
• Tell groups not to reveal which set of words they chose. Instruct the class that as soon as they have heard enough to identify the set, they should raise their hand. Have the class listen to each story. When a S raises his or her hand, call on him or her to say the set number. Then let the group continue the story.
EXTENSION Have Ss return to Mehmet’s social media message on page 58. Ask, What are some possible reasons the party was great? (The food was good; the company was fun; they played interesting games; they listened to music and danced.) Ask individual Ss, What would be a great party for you?
LOOK FOR While Ss are completing the Try It Yourself activity, walk around the room and listen to their conversations. Look to see if Ss are correctly doing the following:
✓ using vocabulary for party food
✓ using quantifiers
✓ using time words to show the order of events.
EXIT TICKET Tell Ss they will hear sentences with time words from the story in 3A on page 59. Have Ss write their names on a blank card or piece of paper and write the numbers 1–7 on it. Say, Listen for the time word in each statement and write it down.
Read the sentences aloud. Include the numbers at the beginning:
1. Once all the party food was ready, Katy left the kitchen to watch her sister open presents.
2. At this moment, the dog ate all the party food.
3. When Katy returned to the kitchen, she saw the mess!
4. At first she didn’t know what to do.
5. Then she cleaned the kitchen and called the pizza place.
6. When she called the pizza place, the woman on the phone had a great idea.
7. Later, a three-layer pizza cake arrived and the party was a success!
Collect the cards as Ss leave. Read the cards to identify areas for review in later lessons and to identify Ss who may need additional practice.

Review for Churrasco
Cristina M. Mexico City
If you’re a meat lover, you’re going to love Churrasco. Churrasco is my favorite Brazilian steakhouse, where the meat is the star of the show, but there’s also seafood and a great salad bar. It’s an all-you-can-eat restaurant but Churrasco offers more than quantity. The quality of all the food is also very high and the service is superb. They come to your table with a selection of meat, and then your choice is cooked to order.
Churrasco is a great choice if you’re dining out with a big group of friends because there are lots of options—beef, lamb, or chicken—and each piece is perfectly prepared—juicy and tender. I agree it’s a little expensive. But for top-quality food, I think the price is fair.
My advice is to skip lunch before you go so you’re really hungry for dinner. Then you can really get your money’s worth. I think I gain about two kilos every time I go!
Marco C. New York City
I cannot recommend this place. We expected a choice of different kinds of meat, but when the waiter fi nally arrived, he only offered us lamb. Then we had to wait 40 minutes to get steaks. Much too salty and almost raw, they were defi nitely not worth the wait. I’d heard that their salad bar is very good, but again, there were hardly any choices—just a lot of different kinds of lettuce and a few tomatoes. And guess what? Dessert is not included in the price. It’s a separate menu, at an additional price. Finally, I expected a quiet, intimate atmosphere, but there were kids running around the tables, and the music was much too loud.
Joan F. San Francisco
I tried Churrasco for the fi rst time last week when my friends and I went there for my birthday. I have to say that I was a bit disappointed with the food. I thought the steaks were rather tough; on the other hand, I loved the garlic mashed potatoes and the bread, which they bake fresh every morning. At the end of the meal, the waiters brought me a big slice of chocolate cake and they all sang, “Happy Birthday” to me. They were very sweet.
