Controlled Practice (8-8 minutes) • To concept check and prepare students for more meaningful practice

T will give ss the third part of the initial text for them to fill in the gaps with the missing verbs and an exercise for them to fill in the gaps with adverbs of frequency. Students will work in pairs or small groups in BORs. T will display the answers on the screen for them to check their answers.

Free Practice (7 minutes) and DEC (5 minutes) (12-12 minutes) • To provide students with free practice of the target language as well as with feedback
