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 (10th).

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 12th , this student has to say: It’s Tuesday, the 11th. Now let’s play this game and see how fast you can respond with correct answers. Let’s find who the champion is.

Look at the picture. Please tell me what you see in the picture, and what the boy is doing. Yes, he’s talking on the phone. He’s talking to Vince. Can Vince play tennis with Andy? 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 read the tapescript to cut/ the sentence into thought groups, study

all the predicates, circle all the linking words and underline all the expressions.

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. 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.
