Description

In this lesson, students will practise making affirmative and negative forms of present simple and ask yes/no questions with 'you' through the context of free time activities. This is followed by controlled practice in which they can express their peers' free time activities using the personal pronoun (he/she). Finally, there is a semi-controlled practice in which students make phrases (verb-noun collocation). This will be followed by phrase drilling activity to improve their pronunciation and word stress.

T sets the students in pairs and ask only one student from each pair to look to his partner and guess what he/she does or doesn't from list of incomplete sentences and vice versa. They need to conjugate the verbs with the third person (he/she) then complete the sentences from the exercise.

Grammar 2 (3-5 minutes) • To practise making questions with "you"

In pairs, students are told to make a list of "you" questions. each student will ask these questions to his/her partner and write down the answers. Feedback: T will monitor ss while they are forming questions to correct any grammar mistakes promptly.

Speaking 1 (5-8 minutes) • Asking questions with "you"

Ss will work in the same pairs; each students will take turn to ask his/her partner the questions he/she have made and write the answers. They can count how many guesses are correct about their partners afterwards. Feedback: T will monitor while they ask "you"questions.
