Teaching Procedures
| Tips
| Step 1 Warm-up
| | - The T can have Ss talk about how they relax in daily life. The T may use these prompts:
- What do you think is the best way to relax?
- Then the T can encourage Ss to express their preferences using the target language. The T can use these prompts:
- ---What’s your favourite music/movie/book/band ?
- ---I prefer music/movie/book/band that/which...
| | Step 2Presentation & Practice
| | - This activity is to prompt Ss to think about their favourite band,book and movie so that Ss can review what they have learned in Section A and personalize the topic. Ss can share their answers with their partners.
- The T may lead in to the activity by asking Ss to describe what
- they see in the picture. Prompt Ss to guess the relationship between
- the two people. Draw their attention to the chart and have Ss work
- in pairs to predict the answers. These predictions may be written
- on a separate piece of paper and checked against the actual
- answers after activities 1b and 1c are completed.
- The T can play the recording and Ss finish the task in 1b. Then the T can invite some Ss to share answers to check.
- Answers: jacket, book, movie poster
- This activity is to give Ss practice in listening for details. The T can encourage Ss to recall what they heard in activity 1b and attempt activity 1c without listening to the recording again. When Ss have filled in their answers, the T can play the recording for Ss to check their answers.
- He likes clothes that are unusual.
- He likes writers who explain things well.
- He likes movies that are scary.
- The conversation begins with Ali commenting that Michael has a lot of “cool” things. The word “cool” has several meanings. Do Ss know what “cool” means in the context of the conversation? Used in this context, it is an informal expression of approval. It is used to say that something /someone is interesting, attractive or fashionable without having to be specific about the qualities that make them so.
- The activity is to give Ss the opportunity to use the target language to talk about things they like. The T may want to encourage Ss to go beyond music and movies and talk about other subjects like clothes, food, hobbies,etc.
- I dislike food that is spicy.
- I love tea that has a fruity taste.
- I like cookies that are not too sweet.
- I enjoy shopping in malls that are not crowded.

| The homework can vary with the specific conditions.
| - Summary The T can encourage Ss to summarize the key points of this class to help Ss consolidate the knowledge.
- Preview the passage in Section B 2b.
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| The design of activities before listening(Activities1a) is very important. The purpose is to activate the memory in students' brain, recall the learned words, phrases and sentence patterns, and pave the way for listening activities. At the same time, students' response process is also to learn and consolidate language knowledge in application. The role of teachers in this link is also very important. They should be good at providing topics and mastering the rhythm and difficulty levels of the discussion and adjusting the discussion atmosphere. We should not only encourage excellent students to express actively, but also pay attention to the students with average or weak foundation and give them the opportunity to express, even if they are just asked to repeat the statements of other students or express whether they agree with others.
