Talk about what you used to be afraid of and what you are still afraid of using the target language.
Step Ⅰ Revision
Check homework. Ask a student to hold up the picture given to him yesterday or a picture he/she collected himself/herself to the class. Then let him/her read out his/her article about the person in the picture.
Step Ⅱ 2a
This activity provides listening practice using the target language. Point to the picture and ask students what is happening. Elicit answers from students.
Point to the six words in the box and ask students to repeat each one. Make sure students know the meaning of each word.
Say, You will hear a boy and a girl talking to each other at a party. Listen to the recording and check the words you hear they say. Point out the sample answer.
Play the recording for the first time. Students only listen.
Play the recording a second time. This time ask students to put a check in front of the words they hear. Check the answers.
Step Ⅲ 2b
This activity gives students practice understanding the target language in spoken
Conversation.
Ask students to point to the blank lines in the conversation. Say, You will write
one word on each blank line.
Read the conversation aloud saying blank when coming to a blank line.
Play the recording. Students fill in the blanks with the words they hear.
Correct the answers. Read the conversation aloud, filling in the missing words.
Students check their answers.
Step Ⅳ 2c
This activity provides oral practice using the target language. Focus students on the conversation in Activity 2b. Ask a pair of students to read it to the class.
Point to the sample conversation. Get another pair of students to read it to the class.
Say, Now work with a partner. Start by reading the conversations in Activities 2b and 2c. Then make conversations about yourselves.
Have students work in pairs. Move around the room listening in on various pairs and offering help if necessary. Check the answers by calling on different pairs to say their conversations to the class. Note: Answers will vary.
Step Ⅵ Summary
Say, In this class, we’ve mainly learned the "use to" questions and "used to" statements.
Step Ⅶ Homework
