* Sts will get in two groups: males and females. * They will complete the sentences in the first exercise with one of two words: Men or Women. They will discuss their own ideas on the situations. - ICQ: "How many words are there to use?" * If there are any phrases or verbs related to the structure, T will give different examples and use body language to elicit the meaning from the sts.

Highlighting (7-10 minutes) • To raise the awareness of the usage of verbs with verb-ing

* Sts will work in pairs. They will find the answer of one question: "What is in common in all 6 sentences?"

Controlled Practice (12-15 minutes) • To practice the structure in the context

* Sts will work with different partners in this activity. * They will scan the text to find 12 mistakes to correct where verb or verb phrase and verb-ing form. They will correct them together with their partners for 5 mins. - ICQ: "Are we going to read everything? - No." "Are we going to look for mistakes? - Yes." "How many mistakes are there? - 12." * After the given time is over, they will check their answers by listening. * In case they may miss while listening, they will be given the transcript of the listening part with the correct answers underlined. If there are any questions by sts, T will answer them.
