Pair work and whole class 6’ 5’ WHILE YOU READ Setting the scene You are going to read a passage about the qualities of a long lasting friendship. While you are reading, do the tasks in the textbook. Task 1 Instruction: Fill each blank with one of the words in the box. - T writes these words on the board:Acquaintance, incapable of, mutual, unselfish, give and take, friend, loyal to, suspicious - Then T instructs Ss to read the passage quickly and stop at the lines that contain these words to guess their meanings (except for the word “friend” as this word is familiar with Ss) - Ss guess the meaning of the words based on the contexts in the sentences. For example, to guess the meaning of unselfishn Ss may realise that this word is the noun of unselfishness in line 5. Therefore, they may guess the meaning of unselfish first. Ss can pay attention to the prefix un- and such phrases as concerned only, his own interest and feelings in the following sentence. - T checks that Ss understand the words correctly. T can check Ss’ understanding by asking them to provide the Vietnamese equivalents to the words. - Next, T instructs Ss to use some strategies to do Task 1: + First, Ss should read through the sentences provided in the task to identify the part of speech of the word to fill in each blank.

Whole class EXTRA EXERCISE: Read the text and answer the questions that follow. My roommate It was my first day at the university. Armed with bags of luggage, I walked slowly into the dormitory. I looked at dood after door for my name. At last I found it. In the room, there was already a girl making her bed. 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 didn’t 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 ftom the ground floor ?” I didn’t 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 me. “A good guy,” I said to myself, “I will make friends with her.” I hurried and caught up with her. What was the girl’s roommate doing when she first saw her ? Why did the girl think that her roommate had had a long journey ? What made the girl’s roommate look funny ? Where did the girl’s roommate come from ? How did the girl’s feeling about her roommate change ? Answers: She was making her bed. Because her roommate wore dirty clothes and had a tired look. Her too big T-shirt and short trousers made her look funny. She came from the south. Her roommate offered to help her to get the luggage from the ground floor and she was quick in action. The girl thought that she would make friends with her roommates. Week: Period: Date: Unit 1: FRIENDSHIP Part E: 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 Time Steps Work arrangement 12’ PRONUNCIATION Pronouncing the 2 sounds separately - T models the 2 sounds / dz / and / tS / for a few times and explains the differences in producing them. + The phonetic sound / dz / 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 / tS / 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 / dz / and / tS / 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. Whole class,individual work & pair work 10’ GRAMMAR 1. To- infinitive 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 = plenty of things we can do 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. 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 are followed by bare infinitives. - T may make clear that: + We can use a noun or pronoun object + bare infinitive after verbs of perceptions such as feel,hear,watch,see,notice,observe,perceive,smell ... .The bare infinitive generally refers to the complete action. + We use the bare infinitive after let and make: Let SO do STH = allow SO to do STH; make SO do STH = force SO to do STH. b) Practice Exercise 2 - T asks Ss to do exercise 2 in pairs. Ss have to rewrite 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 their answers. - T asks other Ss to feedback and give correct answers: 1. The police watched them get out of the car. 2. They let him write a letter to his wife. 3. I heard them talk in the next room. 4. The customs officer made him open the briefcase. 5.

T asks Ss to work in groups of 5 to tell the story about the crow in the pictures. T gets across to Ss that they shouls use as many sentences with to-infinitives and bare-infinitives as possible. The group which produces the most logical story with the most appropriate sentences using to-infinitives and bare-infinitives will be the winner. - T calls on some groups to tell their story and elicits feedback from the class. - T gives final comments and provides correction if necessary. 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 thought of a plan. She picked up a number of little stones and dropped them one by one into the pitcher. In this way the water was soon raised high enough for her to easily reach. Whole class, individual work & pair work 3’ WRAPPING - T summarises the main points of the lesson. - For homework, Ss review the points that have been coverd in the lesson and do the extra exercise.
