Write "My favourite free time activities" on board: > I go swimming at a sports club. > I visit my parents in the week. > I eat out on Thursdays. > I go to football matches at the weekend. Ask Ss if they are true or false. w/c Ss work in pairs to talk about their favourite free time activities. Monitor unobtrusively.

Ss focus on target sentence on board "I eat out on Thursdays" CCQs: Is this a routine? Yes Am I talking about this Thursday or all Thursdays? All Thursdays Is this a positive or negative sentence? Positive

Distribute the table for ex. 5a and let Ss examine negative form briefly. Group Ss (in 3s or 4s), then distribute strips of sentence parts (2 sentences per group) Have Ss stick them on board to form negative sentences in present simple tense. Sentences: We / don't / stay in / at / the weekend They / don't / watch / TV / in / the day We / don't / eat out / on / Fridays They / don't / visit / friends / in / the week I / don't / work / on / Saturdays I / don't / do / sport / after / work We / don't / play / video games / in / the week I / don't / go shopping / at / the weekend They / don't / have / coffee / with friends They / don't / go / to / the cinema / very much

Show Ss ex.6a. "Tick sentences that are true for YOU. Make the other sentences negative." ICQs: Are we making all sentences negative? No. Which sentences are we ticking? True for me. Ss work by themselves to complete activity. Monitor to check that Ss are on the right track. After this, in order to clarify "me too", "me neither", "I do", "I don't", have a female student stand in front of you so that all Ss can see. Have her say "I love you" (showing a prompt card), and to show it's mutual, place both hands on your own heart and say "Me too". Have her say "I love you" again, this time to show that it's not mutual, shrug, turn your back and say "I don't" with appropriate intonation. This time have a male student stand in front of you and say "I don't like football", and to show that this is mutual, shrug, show disinterest in topic, and say "Me neither". Have student say "I don't like football", but this time show that you disagree with his statement, with open eyes and enthusiasm for the topic, and say "Oh, I do! I love football!" with appropriate intonation. For ex.6b get Ss in pairs to compare their answers in ex.6a. Tell them to try to use "me too", "me neither", "Oh, I do!", "I don't!" as a response.

Ask nominated student(s) various Yes/No questions to elicit "yes" and "no" answers. e.g. Do you watch TV every day? Do you work at the weekends? Do you have lunch every day? Try to drag "I do" and "I don't" extensions from Ss by hinting. Ss work in pairs to complete table in ex. 7a & b

Have ex.8a on wb through projector. Group different Ss in 3s, or pairs, and have them work as a unit to solve one exercise at a time. Other Ss show thumbs up if they agree, thumbs down if they disagree. Give answer as your own thumbs up, and thumbs down. If Ss' answer is wrong, let the group / pair try again. If time is left, Ss work in pairs to ask each other the questions in the exercise, and give answers related to their life. Praise good work!
