Step 5 1c Pairing and speaking Now look at the dialogue in 1c. Tom and Tim, please read it to the class aloud. Then

make a similar

dialogue in pairs. One

student points to a date and asks, What’s

today? The other one answers, It’s (Monday) the (10). Now let’s play a game of speed. Please look at the calendar on the board and listen carefully. When I point to a date on the calendar and say yesterday, today and tomorrow, I’ll say a student’s name. This student has to respond within five seconds with the correct date. For example, if

I say yesterday and point to Wednesday, the 12, this student has to say: It’s Tuesday, the

11. Now let’s play this game and see how fast you can respond with correct answers. Let’s find who the champion is.

Let’s listen to the tape. I’ll play the recording twice. When I play the first time, you just listen carefully. When I play the second time, circle

yes if Vince can play with Andy or circle no if Vince can’t. (The answer is: NO. ) Now go over the conversation for examples of can for invitations

and have to for giving reasons. And find out examples of present progressive as future for planned actions. Examples of can and have to. And examples of present progressive as future for planned actions. 1. —Can you play tennis with me? —I can’t. I have to go to the doctor and study for a test today.

2. —Sorry, tomorrow I’m playing soccer and I have a piano lesson. 3. —What are you doing the day after tomorrow? —I have to babysit my sister. th thth

Now let’s talk as they do in the conversation. In other words, we are going to talk in imitation of the conversation we have just heard and read.

Step 7 2b Listening and writing Please look at the chart in your book. Here are Vince’s activities, and three letters a, b, c. a stands for today, b tomorrow and c the day after tomorrow. Listen to the tape again. This time match Vince’s activities with the days.

Vince’s Activities (b) Play soccer. (a) Go to the doctor. (a) Study for a test. (b) Have a piano lesson. (c) look after his sister. Step 8 2c Pairing and speaking Now practice the dialogue in pairs. One student plays Andy and asks Vince to play tennis. The other one plays Vince, saying no,

and gives reasons. I’ll give you a few minutes to practice, and then I’ll ask some pairs to present the conversations to the class.
