Procedure (29-39 minutes)

Warmer/Lead-in (2-4 minutes) • To set lesson context and engage students

In this stage, I'm going to ask the students to give their tips for a particular situation, using the question: Imagine that somebody you know is starting a new office job tomorrow. Think of two important tips you could give him or her to make the first day go well. (one Do & one Don't) (Part A)

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Here, I'm going to work on new vocabularies with MFP, using pictures: * Colleague - Survive - Employee - Solve (meaning) * Noun - Verb - Adjective (form= part of speech) / Solve a problem (form= collocation)

While-Reading/Listening #1 (4-6 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

Now, I will ask the students to read the title of the text (& the two sentences beneath) and say what they think the text is about. (1) Then, I will ask them to take a quick look at the text and see if their tips are mentioned there. (2) *Skimming* (Part B)

While-Reading/Listening #2 (8-10 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

In this stage, I will ask the students to go to exercise C and read (Top tips A-G) for primary preparation and have something to keep their minds occupied. Afterwards, they are going to be told to read the text again, deeply this time and then match the numbers (1-7) with the tips (A-G) and put each letter in the correct gap in the text. After that, I will tell the students to check their answers in pairs. Then, I will ask the students one by one to give the answer of each sentence and then, we check the answers together. (Part C)

Post-Reading/Listening (5-7 minutes) • To provide with an opportunity to respond to the text and expand on what they've learned

At the end of the class, The students will be asked to discuss the following questions in pairs: - Which tips do you think is the most important? - Do you think any of the tips could be useful for the first day in a new class or on a course? (Part D)
