Procedure

Welcome Ss to class. Show them pictures of stressed people and ask them to describe how these people feel. Ask them how they feel before an exam. Elicit "Stressed". Ask Ss for more examples of stressful situations: "When do you feel stressed too? Give me examples of stressful situations".

Pre-teach the following words: Expert /ˈekspɜːt/ (adj.) Gallery /ˈgæləri/ (n) In a hurry /ɪn ə ˈhʌri/ (prep. phrase) Show Ss pictures of those words, one by one. Elicit answers. Drill three times before showing them the spelling of the word.

Meaning in Context (15-18 minutes) • To give Ss time to read highlighted words in sentences and then deduce their meaning in context.

Ask Ss to read quickly the sentences that have highlighted words. Demonstrate with them on the word "guide": Read the sentence and "think" what "guide" means. Ask CCQs to make sure they get it: Does she help people? Does she know a lot of information? Does she go to different places with tourists? Give Ss 5 minutes to read the highlighted words in their context and think of how to explain them. ICQs: Will you write anything? No Will you read and think? Yes How many minutes do you have? 5 mins After reading, ask CCQs to check their understanding: Then => Does Louisa do housework "after" or "before" making George sandwiches? Always => Is she in a hurry "all the time" or just one time? At home => Does she want to eat "inside" her flat or "outside" it? Cycle => Does she drive a car or does she use a bike? Canteen => Is McDonald's a canteen? / Do you have a canteen at school? Pick up => Does she send him away? / Does she go and get him? After => Does she eat dinner first? Until => Does she finish answering e-mails before 9? Babysitter => Does she come when parents are at home? / Does she take care of old people or babies?
