T will show some pictures of everyday occurrences where things are broken or a person needing help. T will ask the Ss to describe what the pictures show and what they would do. The slide then moves to ask students when they would use polite requests. T will lead with 3 situations and ask the students to name others. Finally the T will show a third slide where a number of leading polite and some direct requests are shown and ask the students to read and if they have used these before. This activity should get the students thinking about request and when they are needed and how to use them.

T will play a short audio consisting of 3 situations where people have different issues. The first is a person having issues with an ATM that does not work and request some help from someone, The second is a person with a computer that has crashed and she asks for help, and the third is a person calls customer service and tells the person on the phone that he having an issue with with a vacuum cleaner. Ss are to listen to the audio and detect polite request language similar to the one that we had previously seen on the slides. This exercise will be done individually. T might need to play the audio a second time for Ss to listen and identify the target language CCQ. Qdid you hear any requests? A Yes Do you know if ... A. Would you mind ... A. could you tell me could you hold the line please

T will provide a link to a google form where students will be asked to work in pairs and and identify the language as being either polite or direct. Ss will be send to BOR and ask to place XXX on either column, The aim is for Ss to identify the key components of a polite request. After that the Ss are to return to the main class and as a group we would be going over these, T will take this opportunity to solicit from students what makes the request language polite or direct CCQ What makes this a direct request? A there is no Would could may or please Q. If I say "send me the report please". is that a polite request? A No it must include Would you, Can you , Could you
