Brainstorming (4-6 minutes) • Find the possible answers to the questions raised in previous stage.

1) Look at the exercise 2. WC reads five possible answers. 2) T writes on the WB on of the previous questions related to the pictures on the WB. 3) Ss give him/her suitable answers 4) By giving examples (or CCQs) T explains why "yes, I do" and "No, I didn't" is not suitable, e.g.: "HAVE you ever flown in the hot air balloon?" Right answers are: Yes, I have/ No, I haven't but I'd like to/ No, never, and I wouldn't like to DO you like susi? Yes, I DO DID you go to Bodrum last summer? - No, I DIDN'T?

Semi-controled practice (10-15 minutes) • Question making, understanding of the text

1) T puts the SS in to pair, tells them who will be student A, and who will be student B. 2) T tells that SS A and SS B have the same text but with different information missing. 3) T hands out papers first to SS A, then to SS B 4) T tells SS to read text and write down the questions they need to ask in order to find out the missing information 5) SS take it in turns and answer questions and write the missing information into the text. 6) SS check with each that their texts are identical. 7) WC find several uses of Present Perfect in the text. 8) short Feedback on SS findings, CCQs.
