Exposure (2-3 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through listening

Ask students what they see in the pictures and ask what they are doing. Students then listen to the recording of three people talking about their hopes, dreams and ambitions. Students match the speakers to three of the pictures.

Useful Language (3-4 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

Give the students handout with disordered sentences and ask them to unjumble the sentences in groups.

Useful Language (3-5 minutes) • To highlight and clarify useful language for coming productive tasks

Show students the patterns (used in exercise 3; I'm thinking of... / My dream is to.../I'm considering... etc.) and ask them to complete the endings.

Controlled Practice (2-3 minutes) • To provide a model of production expected in coming tasks through listening

Tell students to read the beginnings and ends of the sentences and match them up. Play the recording again. Student check their answers in pairs.

Writing (5-6 minutes) • To practise the functional vocabulary

Students write sentences about their own hopes, dreams and ambitions. Ask students to write three sentences, one of them is a lie. Demonstrate the True and lies game in class together. Tell three things about your dream and hopes. Say one is a lie. Ask students to guess. after demonstration ask students to do the same. First everyone writes three sentences on their own. Then they play the game in groups of three. Monitor and make notes about language used. Gİve feedback.

Focus on stressed syllables and schwa sounds. Write one sentence on the board and ask students to say the sentence aloud. Ask where is the stress. Explain the difference between a strong and a weak to. Mark the stresses in the sentence. Ask students to do the same with the other sentences from exercise 3. Pair work.

Feedback and Error Correction (2-3 minutes) • To provide feedback on students' production and use of language

Check if students put the stress on the right syllables. Do some drilling.

Productive Task(s) (8-15 minutes) • To provide an opportunity to practice target productive skills in speaking

Show students handout (3A) and demostrate the activity by choosing two or three of the circles yourself and putting them on the board. Make a short note in each (this year I'm thinking of taking tango lessons) .Instruct one students to ask you about one of the things you've written. Write possible questions they could ask their peer. Gİve out the worksheet and tell students to choose four circles and write short notes about their hopes dreams and ambtions. Give them 3-5 min., then ask them to work in pair. Students swap their worksheets and ask each other questions. After 2 min ask to switch so that students interview their other peers.
