The students are reminded of the two common forms of verbs used after other verbs (infinitve and gerund) .Two columns are made on the board and these two groups are separately put on the board in different colors with the help of the students. Further pronunciation practice is done aimed at intonation in statements and questions
A few responses to advice are elicited and then the students look and the Derek's reactions extracted from the listing activity.They should guess what the advice was in pairs and then they are given the listening script to check if they made correct guesses.
A jumbled sentence is firstly written on the board and the students are asked to put in order then the cut-ups are given to the students and they are asked to work in pairs to put the sentences in correct order. The answers are checked one more time when they're done and then they are asked to discuss the questions in ex. 4
