I will make a discussion about if students had visited or travelled to another country as a tourist and what souvenirs did they buy to their friends and relatives or to themselves.

Pre-Reading/Listening (10-12 minutes) • To prepare students for the text and make it accessible

Then students will match the photos to their names, then they will check in pairs then I will give them feedback and I will drill the pronunciation of the places in feedback. B: I will teach the meaning and form of new words and drill them, I will do an example with students for the activity, then students work in pairs and share their knowledge. C: feedback; students will listen and check their answers then listen and repeat. D: I will demonstrate the exercise (cola, cheese burger, pizza) then elicit classroom from what place could I buy them? Then students will do it together.

While-Reading/Listening #1 (10-12 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

I will teach students the function (requests with Can & could) then I will play an audio and let students answer the question ( where are the people) I will remind students not to try to listen to every word and just concentrate on doing the task. In fees back I will ask students which words helped them to guess the place. B: students will listen again to know what does each tourist buy? Students answer then compare together then I will give them feedback and elicit the spelling. I will tell students that it is important to be polite when asking for something to get good service. 3A: students will listen and complete the requests and then we will check answers in feedback and and the reason we use can or could ( it’s polite ) B: students will look at the questions then listen to the polite pronunciation then listen and repeat. I will show them stress and intonation patterns. Then students will do the language bank activity that focus on responses. I will drill some requests with responses then feedback.

While-Reading/Listening #2 (14-16 minutes) • To provide students with more challenging detailed, deduction and inference reading/listening tasks

I will read the speak out tip with students, drill the example ( stress words are the key words) B: students will listen to the conversation and check their answers then listen and repeat. Then they will practice the conversation in pairs. 6: students will listen to three conversations extracts and circle the correct prices. I will remind students to listen for the key (stressed) words. Then check in pairs then feedback. 7: it is an activity with prices I will devide students to A&B.
