TP1: My oldest friend

Description

In this lesson, SS will be predominantly involved in listening and speaking exercises about friends. This involves SS working on their productive skills for the gist, through discussion with their partners about their friends. Then, SS will be supplied with receptive skill development by listening, making notes, and answering questions related to conversations between three different pairs. This is followed by a sentence reformulation exercise and finally a short writing exercise to practice inquiring vocabulary.
