Teaching Procedures	Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Revision Help Ss review how to make invitation, how to accept and decline an invitation. Lead in & Pair work Help Ss review the words in 1b using PPT P6, then ask Ss to ask questions about day and dates with their partners.
Step 2Presentation & Practice
Pre-listening 1a Ask Ss to write the dates for this week on the calendar. T may want to have Ss review the ordinal numbers from 1st to 31st before they do activity 1a. Answers will vary. 1b Based on activity 1a, ask Ss to write the words in 1b to the correct dates on the calendar in 1a. Answers will vary. 1c T may want to have Ss do activity 1c in the following way: Have Ss work in pairs. Tell the pairs of Ss that they are going to compete to ask and answer as many questions as possible within one minute. Explain that the pairs of Ss get one point for each question that is asked and answered. If the question is asked but not answered, no point is awarded. Tell Ss that they should take turns asking and answering the questions. Have all Ss stand, and have them do the activity at the same time. At the end of the one minute time period, elicit which of the Ss had the greatest number of points. The winning pair(s) can be seated. Repeat the activity three or four times. While-listening 1d Play the recording. Ask Ss to circle yes or no for the question in 1d. In the picture in activity 2a, the boy is kicking a soccer ball while talking on the phone in the house. But many parents may not allow their children to play with balls in the house due to the damage that could be caused from a ball hitting. T may want to ask Ss if they kick soccer balls in their homes and if their parents allow them to do so. Answer: Circled : No 1e Let Ss to listen again, then match Vince’s activities with they days in 1d. Answers: Vince’s Activities b play soccer a go to the doctor a study for a test b have a piano lesson c look after his sister Ask Ss o listen again and fill in the blanks. Answers: has to, study, play soccer, has, look after his sister, busy Post-listening 1f In the conversation in activity 2c, Ss practice giving and refusing invitations. However, in real life situations, if a S wants to accept an invitation but cannot do so, it is important to take the initiative to propose an alternative time. E.g. A: Hi, Vince, can you play tennis with me? B: When? A: Today. B: Sorry, I can’t. I’m really busy this week. But how about next week? A: That would be great. T can guide Ss to make a conversation as the example above or T can ask Ss to fill in the blanks on PPT P15 first and then make a conversation by themselves. Make a schedule for this week Ask each each S to make a schedule for this week, then show them the sample conversation on PPT P17. Ask Ss to make their own conversations with their partner following the example. Tell Ss that they can switch a partner and continue the conversation when they finished doing the practice with their current partner.

Teaching Reflection	Through the review before class, the students use the information provided by the teacher for questions and answers. The students can use phrases and imitate sentences. In pairs, they can use the target sentence pattern for dialogue display. Some students should be able to use the strategies of listening to key information and paying attention to details to get effective information. Most students can carry out dialogue exercises under the guidance of teachers. The form of dialogue makes most students review clearly the knowledge structure of this lesson.
