Description

In this lesson, sts learn about useful phrases in the context of gadgets. The lesson starts with a discussion on inspector gadget and about his favourite gadget(s). Then sts listen to a recording where different people describe their favourite gadgets and have to match these descriptions with the corresponding pictures. They will then have to complete a table by matching some phrases from these descriptions with their corresponding category (purpose, appearance, material) . Then sts will practice pronunciation and functional phrase structures by repeating these sentences. In the following activity, sts will have to use the same table, and match words from a new set of words and phrases into the same three categories. Sts will then work in pairs to describe the purpose, appearance and material of two objects found on ex.1. To finish, sts will work in pairs and describe to their partner their favourite gadget.
