- I ask some questions about the picture in 2a. - They guess the answers individualy at first and then in their pairs. - At the end they should listen to the CD and check their answers.

Clarification (8-10 minutes) • To clarify the meaning, form and pronunciation of the target language

-Highlighting 1 simple past sentence and 1 present perfect sentence from the conversation.( It arrived this morning and we haven't paid the phone bill yet.) -Dividing the board to two sections, one for simple past and one for present perfect. giving the structure of these sentences and their meaning by the help of elicitation.

- Students answer the questions individually and then check them in their pairs. - I provide them with the correct answers.

Semi-Controlled Practice (5-8 minutes) • To concept check further and prepare students for free practice
