T will ask the students to work in pairs to complete the exercise 1 to highlight the form, meaning and then pronunciation of the target language. T will give 2 minutes to the pairs and be sure if the instructions are clear enough. T will get feedback from the pairs about the answers and clarify the pronunciation implicitly throughout this process.
