I will show students an image of people shaking hands and smiling and ask students what are they doing. (Expected answer: meeting new people) I will then ask them: Where do you meet new people? What questions do you ask? (Expected answers: at work, school, university, gym, party / What's your name?, Where are you from? What do you do?)

I will tell students we are going to listen to 3 different conversations in which people meet new people. I will show them an image of these people talking and play the audio. Students will have to fill the gaps with the jobs. I will give them 1 minute to check their answers in pairs before OCF. 1 A Are you from New York? B No, we aren't from the USA. We're from Canada. A Oh, really? What do you do? B I'm an ___________ and Jane's a ___________. (Engineer / Doctor) 2 A Who's she? B Her name's Sally Andrews. A Is she a ______________ ? B Yes, she is. But she isn't famous. (Musician) 3 A What do you do? B I'm a ___________. And you? A l'm an ______________. B Are you from Mexico? A No, I'm not. I'm from Colombia. (Police officer / Accountant) I will then ask students to complete the following task: 4 Look at the photo. Match conversations 1-3 to the groups of people A-C.

I will give Ss a slightly more complex conversation in which two people meet for the first time: David: Hi, I’m David. Nice to meet you. Sara: Nice to meet you too. David: So, where are you from? Sara: I’m from Chile, but I live in Sydney now. What about you? David: I’m from Spain. David: What do you do? Sara: I’m a graphic designer. I work for a small company in the city. David: Oh, really? That sounds interesting. Sara: And you? What do you do? David: I’m studying engineering at University. Sara: Cool. Are you enjoying it? David: Yeah, it’s great. Sara: Well, it was nice talking to you! David: You too. See you around. I will give them 2 minutes to read the text and answer the following question: Do they know each other from before? (Yes). I will ask them to explain how they know these people are meeting for the first time and highlight phrases we usually use in this type of situation. We will then go through Meaning, Appropriacy, Form and Pronuncitation of target language. Meaning: Students match the expressions with their meaning. Nice to meet you --> Greeting someone for the first time Where are you from? --> Asking about origin What do you do? --> Asking about job That sounds interesting --> Showing interest I work for a small company in the city. --> Giving information about your job CCQ's: "Nice to meet you” – Do we say this when we know someone from before? (No) When we meet someone for the first time? (Yes) "What do you do?" Are we asking what the person is doing now? (No) Do we use this question to ask about someone's job? (Yes) Appropracy: Students will have to place some phrases in the correct section: Formal, neutral or informal. We'll do this together as a class in a Google Slides. The phrases are: 1. It's a pleasure to meet you. (Formal) 2. Hey, nice to meet you! (Informal) 3. So, where are you from? (Neutral) 4. Oh, cool! (Informal) 5. That sounds very interesting (Neutral) Form: We will analyse the following 2 questions: 'Where are you from?' and 'What do you do?'. I will elicit form students the different categories that form the sentences: Wh- + BE + subject + preposition Wh- + Auxiliary + subject pronoun + Verb I will ask students to use the same questions for different pronouns: He/she, I, They. I'll write their answers in the G Slides. Pronunciation: I will read the following questions 2 or 3 times and ask students if they realize what's the intonation for them (are the sentences going up or down?): Where are you from? (↗) What do you do? (↗) Are you enjoying it? (↗) Are you from Spain? (↗) I will ask students if they can see a difference between these types of questions (Yes/No questions vs. Information questions) I will then focus students' attention on these 2 ways of pronouncing the word 'do': /də/ or /duː/. I will repeat this sentence 2 or 3 times for them to place the correct pronunciation in the correct place: What do you do? /də/ /duː/

We will do a role-play activity. Students will meet new people at a party. They will have to ask and answer about the following information: – Name – Origin – Job – A follow-up question – Show interest (‘Oh, really?’ / ‘That sounds great!’ / 'Cool!') Students have 2–3 rotations speaking with different partners. 3 minutes for each round. ICQs: ‘Are you writing or speaking?’ (Speaking.) ‘Are you talking to one or many people?’ (One partner.) Possible problem: there are only 2 students or even 1. Solution: Extra activity in which students have to complete an information card about a Conference Guest List: Look at the hotel conference list. Think of yes/no questions to check the information in pink on the list: E.g.: Is Mr Demir a waiter? Work with your partner. Take turns to ask your questions from them. Tick the correct information. Change the wrong information.

I will write on the Slides 2 examples of good language usage, 2 sentences that have something wrong and 1 sentence in which we could use better vocabulary. I will ask students to see if they find what the mistakes are and how we can improve the last sentence.
