The Ss are going to watch a video which will show different stages of life. After that, T elicits from Ss what they saw in the video by asking them to name the stages. This video will serve a good opportunity to get Ss ready and expect what the whole lesson will be about.

The Ss are going to match certain words with some pictures. The words and the photos will be about the target vocabulary. The letters of the words are going to be scrambled so this will make it a little challenging for them. T: - asks Ss to work in groups - hands the HO's to Ss and tells them to match the words. - when Ss finish, T shows the answer key on the board -Ss might come up with words they don't know and ask about them. - T elicits from other Ss what these words mean

T: - asks Ss to be in the same groups - tells them that they are getting some sentences and they have to put them in the right order once the groups finish, T - asks them to check other groups' answers - leaves 1 answer key for each group while Ss are checking other groups' answers - elicits from Ss who Nina, Ted, Robert and Sam are - elicits from Ss what remarried, honeymoon, anniversary, and split up means

T: - tells Ss to listen to an audio - asks Ss to work individually - tells Ss that they will have to answer questions - hands them the HO's - plays the audio once - elicits answers from Ss

T - asks Ss to read the T/F statements quickly - plays the audio - asks Ss to check the answers with the partner sitting next to them - nominates some Ss randomly to answer the statements - hands out the answer key for both listening exercises

T: - talks with Ss about the stories they've been working with. --> Does this happen as well in Turkey and Istanbul? --> Was it always like this? T: - does not make comments on what Ss might say - shares her personal story with Ss --> is this a normal story in Istanbul? What about people inTurkey? - lets them talk about themselves: --> how old were they when they met their partner? Or are they maybe still single? --> Where did they meet each other? --> Are they married? --> Where was the proposal? Do they still remember? Was it romantic? --> Do they have children?
