T- asks Ss to work in pair and answer the following question: "what do the two pictures try to tell us?" Ss come up with answers and T write them on the board. T Starts eliciting the word "Etiquette"
T focuses on explaining the word" Etiquette" as this can help Ss understand the context of the lesson.
T gives Ss reading text P.38 and asks Ss work to pairs to match phrases with their meaning. T monitors and takes notes while Ss do the task. Then, Ss share their answers with their partner. T offers feedback if needed.
At this point, Ss are given a handout and are asked to complete the pattern with the missing words. T tell Ss that they need to base their answers on the reading text already given to them. Ss need to work in pairs.
T prepares sentences with modal verbs and practice them with Ss. T uses the back-chaining technique and then the other way around. Then, T drills with students individually ( if time permits)
T asks them to come up with 5 tips about what one should or shouldn't do on a first. Ss work in pairs and then turn to the person next to them and compare their answers.
