| Step 1 Warming up
| | - Create a context for Ss and ask them to answer the questions:
- Your pen pal is coming to China. He is worried about the customs in China. What is he supposed to do? What isn’t he supposed to do? Would you please give him some advice?
- Tell Ss that they answer the questions using the following structures:
- You can use the following sentences:
- It’s polite / impolite to ...
- You’re supposed / not supposed to ...
| | Step 2 Presentation & Practice
| | - In groups of four or five, get Ss to discuss what they would need to tell their pen pal in order for him / her to feel comfortable in their home. Tell Ss this is a list that they will be giving to their pen pal so they should be mindful about words they use to convey the severity of what should or should not be done.
- (Tip: Make sure that Ss discuss this and have reasons why they chose certain words. Get groups to share their discussions with the rest of the class.)
- Ask Ss to write a letter to his / her pen pal to give him / her advice and suggestions on how to behave properly in China.
- (Tip: Give Ss the option to either use the information they discussed in their groups to help them write their letter or they can come up with something on their own.)
- When all the Ss have finished writing, T can ask them to read their letters to their partners.
- Ask Ss to fill in the blanks with the words in the box.
- Answers: 1. empty 2. basic 3. worth 4. traffic, capital 5. knocking, mad
- Ask Ss to think about their culture and make statements.
- (Tip: Tell Ss that they can consider the customs they practice in their own home or their province / village rather than in their culture.)

- stick your chopsticks into a bowl of rice, you’re expected to keep your mouth closed when you are chewing, it’s impolite to reach across the table to pick certain foods, it’s important to ask for permission to leave the table early.
| | - Step 3 Summary & Homework
|
| - Ask Ss to do the exercises from PPT P14-15.
- Preview 1a-1c in Unit 11.
- Do the exercises in students’ book.
| | Teaching Reflection
| In the last period of the unit, it is important to get the students to use what they have learned in the unit. Writing practice is the most difficult for most of the students. So the teacher will get them to do some practice before writing. The teacher could help the students write from oral practice and teach them to use the example sentence patterns.
In the last period, students should review all the things they have learned in this unit. We can do this through some exercises. We can also ask and answer some questions to help them.
