Tell Ss today we are talking about, "Who's coming to dinner?" Show Ss the photo from the textbook. Ask who each person is. Give clues if the students don't know. For example: He was a soccer player. He's married to Posh Spice. He came up with the theory of evolution. Ask what are they doing? Is this image real? In real life, would they all be sitting together? Ask why are they all together? If no one answers or Ss answer incorrectly ask them if they ever played the game, Who would you invite to dinner? Explain that people say who they would invite if they could invite anyone. Or if you are asked if you were alone on an island and only had one book, which book would you have? Or one album?

Some people are planning a dinner party. They can pick anyone who is famous, living or dead. Listen to who they are going to invite. Make notes of who is invited to the dinner party and why. After I play the audio you will do a matching column (Gist Task). You will match the famous person with why he/she would be invited. Give the students 3 minutes to complete the matching task. We will go over it in class.
