Tell your partner something that happened to you recently. Use two or more words in 1a. (Example: Last Friday night, my friend invited me to his birthday party. When I got there, I found it was a costume party. I was the only person who wasn’t wearing a costume. I was really embarrassed.) Step 3: Listening 1. Asks students to look at the people in the picture and guess their feelings.

Ask students to listen and write each person’s name under the correct picture. (Answers: b-Joe, c-Nick, d-Dave) 3. Before playing the recording again, tell students that they can create a chart to take notes. This will help since there are three speakers.

Step 4: Group work 1. In groups of three, get students to decide which boy’s story they want to retell using the third person. 2. Give students time to retell the stories. 3. Get students to switch roles and tell the stories using the first person. This means that each students will tell another boy’s story as if he / she were that boy. Step 5: Preparation for 2b Ask students to work in pairs, and then share their experience of playing jokes on others. (Attention: The teacher can invite some students to share their experiences to the class.) Step 6: Reading 1. Ask students to read the passage and then match each paragraph with its main idea.

Ask students to read the passage and explain the key words and phrases to students. 3. Divide the class into groups of four. Tell students to close their textbooks. Read the questions in 2c aloud to the class one by one, and then get students to discuss and answer the questions in sequence in their groups. 4. Give students a minute or two to discuss and come up with their group answer. After you have read aloud all the questions, allow students to open their textbooks and check their answers. (Answers: 1.

Get students to fill in their blanks in 2d before sharing their answers with a partner. Next ask them to look at the sentences again and share with each other the pattern in the sentences, if any. (Attention: Students should be able to see that for all the sentences that have “by the time” in it, the answers contain both the simple past and the past perfect tense. This is because the sentence is expressing the idea that one thing occurred before another in the past.) (Answers: 1. appeared, rushed 2. found out, had disappeared 3. ended, had called 4. ended, had lost 5. told, had run away) Step 7: Group work 1. Divide the class into groups of three or four.
