In this lesson, Ss ask for and give help. The lesson begins with a set of problems. Ss learn language related to technical problems. They then listen to three conversations where people are talking about problems. From these, Ss learn and practise using phrases for describing problems and making recommendations. Ss focus on contrastive stress in pronunciation, before they conduct a roleplay where they describe a problem and make recommendations.
