Greet students and ask questions about their weekend activities. Encourage them to use past simple, gently correcting errors as needed.

Briefly introduce the theme (e.g., 'My first day in Vietnam') and explain that the focus will be on talking about past experiences.

Use the 'My first day in Vietnam' comic strip to show sentences in the past simple. Elicit the past forms and write them on the board, emphasizing pronunciation.

Distribute worksheets with fill-in-the-blanks and matching exercises (e.g., 'My mother ___ at the airport' -> 'cried'). Monitor and provide feedback.

Play an audio story of the character’s experiences in Vietnam. Students listen for past simple verbs, then check answers in pairs.

Pair students to discuss their own 'first day' experiences, using prompts if necessary (e.g., 'Where did you go?', 'What did you feel?'). Rotate to ensure all students practice speaking.

Review the key vocabulary from the lesson (e.g., greet, start, learn). Students match vocabulary with images or situations, reinforcing meaning and usage.

Provide feedback on common mistakes noted during practice stages, focusing on form and pronunciation.

Recap the lesson’s main points. Give students a brief summary of the lesson’s target language and thank them for their participation.
