T. asks the students to describe the pictures of the people. He asks some questions like: How old is each person? Where do you think he/ she is from? Do you think they traveled a lot? Do they think they can drive cars?
T. asks students to do exercise 1 page 110. Students answer the questions about themselves then compare their answers with each other. They use' Have you ever?'. Next, T. directs the students' attention to exercise 2 on the same page. They are required to translate the words from the text. T. monitors them and gives final agreement on the meanings of the words in accordance with the context.
T. divides the students into two groups. Each group will read a text about one of the personalities. Later, they will answer the questions from 1- 10. Once, they finish, the students compare their answers with other peers from the other group. T. gives them an answer key and gives feedback over some answers they might find difference.
T. directs the students to the speaking questions on exercise no. 6 where they share their opinions about the two personalities. T. gives the students some time to prepare their ideas and take notes, then they can start speaking. T. monitors and gives prompts to help with the continuity of the speech. Later, T. gives a collective feedback over the students' verbal performance in terms of fluency and accuracy.
