demo by sticking some words randomly on the board which are actually a complete sentence, then bringing them in the correct order and get the Ss to do the same - stick the words randomly on the board - get their idea about the activity - try to put the words in the correct order with eliciting
-provide enough time to the Ss so that they can order the words to form sentences or questions individually -let them check in pairs
- write each sentence on a different colorful sheet, cut them into pieces and mix - put all the pieces of papers on the table with a stick behind them - call different pairs to the board for each sentence - tell them the color of sheet for their sentence, and guide them to pick up the words with the defined color, then put them in the correct order on the board - follow this process for each sentence to check the answers
- give Ss 1-2 minutes to match the expressions, then let them work in pairs to check each other's answers - give Ss letters A and B and make them pair - guide student A read the first expression and student B say matching expressions - do the same activity with the nominated students as a teacher - check the pronounciation of words with drilling if it seems necessary
- ask Ss which expressions are more formal and have a short speaking activity
- divide the class into their letters A and B and tell them to come together with their groups - guide student As read the instructions on page 15 and prepare their questions for interviews - guide student Bs read the information on page 158 and get ready for the interview - put Ss into A/B pairs and give time to role-play interview - switch their roles and make them try again without preparation - monitor closely and take some notes about the ggod and bad language that Ss use during the interview
