The lesson starts with setting context, which the teacher shows a picture of a famous businessman and asks Ss if they know him or not. The first activity will have Ss order a conversation between the man and his business partner. Next, Ss will be involved in a vocabulary exercise which will be useful in the discussion about a new business. A controlled speaking practice will have Ss work in groups and set up a new tour company using given information. A freer activity will focus on the fluency and have Ss work in groups of three again.
