Step I Grammar review
Review and summarize direct speech and indirect speech with students.
T: We use direct and indirect speech every day. Saying what someone has said is called direct speech. Here what a person says spears within quotation marks and should be word for word. Can you give me an example
S: She said, “Today’s lesson is very interesting.” OR “Today’s lesson is very interesting,” She said.
T: Indirect speech doesn’t use quotation marks and it doesn’t have to be word for word. Can you give me an example
S: She said the lesson that day was very interesting.
T: Good. When reporting speech the tense usually changes. This is because when we use reported speech, we are usually talking about a time in the past. The verbs usually have to be in the past too. For example:
Show the following.
“I’m going to the cinema”, he said.
He said he was going to the cinema.
T: As a rule, when you report something someone has said you go back a tense. When the direct speech is in present simple, we change it into past simple in indirect speech.
Show the following.
She said, “It’s cold.”
She said it was cold.
T: And also modal verb forms also sometimes change. For example:
She said, “I can teach English online.”
She said she could teach English online.
After this, ask students to read the sentences in Language Practice on Page 52 by themselves and finish activities 1—7 on their own. Check the answers with the class.
Step II Around the world
Ask students to read the short passage and answer the following questions.
T: In China, we have TV programmes about looking for new stars. Young singers compete to become famous, and the audience choose the winner. Here is a TV programme in the U.K. Now read and find out the answers to the following questions.
Show the following.
What is the programme for

III. A review about Spiderman
Did you know how Spiderman was different to the other super heroes of his time He was the youngest! This made it easy for the teens of his era to relate to him as they were all having the same issues.
He first appeared in 1962 in a comic book called Amazing Fantasy #15. He became so well liked that Marvel decided to give him his own comic book and over the years Peter Parker and Spiderman have evolved just as his fans did – growing from high school teens to college students to working adults. How did he turn into a crime-fighting spider
