Description

In this lesson,Ss develop their reading for gist and specific information; listening for specific information based on the true story of a couple whose promise to love each other was only kept after a chain of strange circumstances. The lesson starts with a pair discussion on some speech bubbles where they finally see that they are all promises that are often broken. This is followed by a prediction task and pre-teaching vocabulary. Afterwards, Ss read the text for gist and specific information. And then, Ss listen to the rest of the story and do a detail listening task. Finally, they write an e-mail inviting their friends to the wedding. If there is time, Ss will listen to the song "Reach out I'll be there" and focus on some specific words.
