I start the class with a question: who is the richest person is the states? Bill Gates (the founder of Microsoft). Then, I write another question on the board: What makes a successful businessman? I put students in pair and have them discuss the question on the board. Students will work with their neighbor students and then share their ideas with the whole class.
I put students in pairs and give them a worksheet. They will match the verbs and the phrases is the box. I do the first one to demo the task. Then, I give students the answer key with definitions to get feedback. I model and drill some more difficult collocations.
i give students a worksheet. They work in pairs and complete the sentences in the worksheet with the collocations they have learned. Students will peer check their answers.
I give students worksheets including four questions. I explain that they will hear a recording. They should listen and answer the questions. If needed, I play the recording for the second time. Students then check their answers with answer key.
I play the recording again and have students listen and complete the sentences with two words. If needed I play the recording again. I have students check their answers with their partners. I give them the answer key.
I give students a chart of questions. Students work in pairs and answer the questions together. i give them the answer key to check their answers. I write some sentences on the board and have students report them.
