Show some flash cards of verbs and elicit the answers and drill but make sure sts are aware of using the definite article "the" in some of the phrasal verbs such as "play the piano" "play the guitar" After making sure there is no problem with the verbs meaning and pronunciation, divide sts into 3 groups and give out same flash cards and the definitions of the verbs in the little cut out strips. Have sts work in groups and match the flash cards with their definitions. After this activity sts will remain in the same group and choose a verb to mime, rest will guess. To give the instruction for this activity, show sts an example, mime that you are driving a car.

Distribute the HO1, and have sts match the pictures with can and can't sentences. Have sts check their answers with their partners. This way they will be exposed to grammar and have an idea of the lesson. Then ask a few questions to sts Can you play the piano? can you cook? can you drive? such as.

Write on the board Can you drive? Then start eliciting sentence structure and write it on the left side of WB. Make sure you leave some space for question form as well. Also add very well to the end of the some sentences. Make sure sts have a quick and clear understanding. Also use appropriate colors to write on WB. Black for subject pronouns, red for modal verb and green for verbs. Have sts listen to the recording for the stress, and elicit their answer and mark the stressed syllables on the grammar from sentences. Also make sure they understand the pronunciation difference between can and can't.

Show the picture of Mrs. Jones and Maria on page 57. Elicit sts' guesses and tell them that Mrs. Jones needs an au pair to help with her children Ella and Daniel. Write on WB Does Maria get the job? and have sts listen to the recording R7.7.

If there is enough time, tell sts to make a list of things that they can or they can't do and to check out with their partner to find out the things in common in between them, and to tell the class things they and their partner can both do.
