Unit 3:lesson 1 Come in

In this lesson, Ss learn the past simple of regular verbs. The context is a reading where Ss read a text about people who made big changes in their lives. Ss also practise the pronunciation of -ed endings of regular verbs. Ss then learn more time phrases, which extends what they learnt in Unit 4. The lesson ends with a speaking activity, where Ss discuss the last time they did things and how often they do those things now.

Speaking about time using words like when, from ... to, all and before.

To start

Work in groups of 3 students.

Who are the most famous people in the world right now.

Do you want to be famous?

Why? Why not?

Elicit from the class some of the most famous people in the world right now. Write the following questions on the board: Do you want to be famous? Why/Why not? Ss discuss the questions in small groups. When they have finished, nominate one student from each group to share their ideas with

the class.

Speaking

1. Have you got a favourite famous person, for example a sportsperson, singer or YouTube star?

2. What about when you were a child? Who were your favourite stars then?

1A. Start by telling the class about any favourite famous people you have now (e.g. a famous singer, actor or sportsperson) and you had when you were a child, then put Ss in pairs to

discuss the questions. You may want to give them a minute or two thinking time to come up with ideas before they start. When they have finished, ask a few Ss to share what they found out about their partner.

WORKSHEET A2 Unit 5A

5A. With weaker classes, you may want to elicit the first answer as an example. Explain that all the time phrases are used in the text in Ex 1B, so if they’re not sure of an answer they can look for it there. Ss choose the correct alternatives alone, then check in pairs. Check answers

with the class.

KEY

 

       all    before    for    from-to    later    when

Work in pairs. Which team can find all the regular verbs in the simple past?

To finish

The lesson ends with a speaking activity.

Use the quesions from task 6 in the Student's book.

Give Ss an example, e.g. ‘I didn’t stay in a hotel last year, but I stayed in a very nice hotel in the summer.’ Ss work individually to change any sentences they need to. Monitor and check Ss are forming their sentences correctly.

Ask Ss to expand on their answers in Ex 4C as much as possible, e.g. ‘Last year, I lived somewhere different. I was in Warsaw, but we moved here at the start of the year.’
