T displays a collage showing eight different situations in which people give or receive presents. Ss look at the images and discuss in pairs: “Does your family give presents?” and “Who usually buys you the presents?” T conducts brief OCFB and asks a few Ss to share their answers. T then introduces the topic of choosing presents for other people.

T tells Ss they are going to read two conversations in which two pairs of friends are discussing what to get Tom for his birthday. Student A receives Conversation A Student B receives Conversation B. T gives Ss the gist task: 1. What presents do they want to buy Tom? 2. What present do they finally agree on? Underline where in the text you find this information. Ss read individually and answer the questions. Ss then compare their answers with their partner. T conducts OCFB and elicits that both pairs finally agree on concert tickets.

Meaning T directs Ss back to the conversations. Ss identify the expressions used to make suggestions and respond to suggestions. Target language: What shall we get him? What about...? Why don't we...? No, I don't think so. Maybe, but... Yes, that's a good idea. Ss complete guided discovery questions to identify whether each expression is used to make a suggestion, accept a suggestion, reject a suggestion, or show hesitation. Ss compare answers before OCFB. Form Ss complete a matching activity in which they match the phrases to their structures: 1. What shall + subject + base verb + object? 2. What about + noun / verb-ing? 3. Why don't + subject + base verb + object? T conducts OCFB and checks answers. Pronunciation T presents the six target phrases. Ss listen and mark the main stress using circles: small open circle = unstressed; large open circle = stressed; large black circle = main stress. Ss compare answers in pairs. T conducts OCFB, models the phrases, and drills chorally and individually. Appropriacy Ss complete a ticking activity. For each phrase, they decide who could naturally say it: 1. A close friend 2. A colleague 3. A manager 4. A president giving a formal speech. Ss tick all appropriate options and compare answers. T conducts OCFB and elicits that the expressions are generally informal/neutral and appropriate for everyday conversations.

T puts Ss into groups and gives each group a different Gift Challenge. Each scenario includes a person, an occasion, a budget, and information about the person's interests. Ss discuss possible presents and must agree on one final gift. T models and answer first with a Ss then gives the instructions: “Discuss different present ideas. Make suggestions and respond to your group's suggestions. Think about your budget. Finally, agree on one present.” Ss should discuss at least three possible presents before making their final decision. T monitors without interrupting unless communication breaks down, noting examples of successful language and errors.

T conducts brief OCFB by asking groups what present they decided to buy and why. T then uses examples collected while monitoring. First, T highlights successful examples of Ss using the target language effectively. T then boards a small number of errors and encourages Ss to correct them.
