Procedure (31-41 minutes)
T gives Ss time to say their names and ages in one round. This stage can break the ice and review some greeting language for the Ss.
T models one sentence on the board: "I am good at basketball". T mimes playing basketball and scoring a goal to show he is successful. T repeats the sentence with a happy face. T asks and models the sentence with fingers. Im + good at + .... T asks the class to help him finish the sentence. T gives live reactions to the correct answers during elicitation.
T divides the Ss into 2 groups. One word for each group for a pantomime competition. T models the game with some random, simple words, e.g., drinking, walking, etc. T gives each word to the player from each group and lets the game start.
T helps the Ss read the questions in part 18 first. Then reads the text out loud for the Ss. T gives the Ss time in groups to find the answers in the text. T models answering Q 1.
T puts the Ss in two lines and instructs them to have short conversations, saying "I'm good at..." after greetings and saying their names. T gives a demo before Ss start.
