Procedure (43-43 minutes)
My neighbours throw rubbish in my garden. What can I do? What will we talk about today? problems we have in our lives and how to help people to solve them. Think about one problem you feel worried about. What would you like to do about it? How do you feel about that? Is there anything you can do about it? Do you remember my questions? In pairs try to write them down. Check. How do you feel when you answer these questions? Do we give advice in these questions? - no How do they help?
Listening. Gist: what's the problem? What's the solution choose the picture. Compare/WC which picture? Listen again and fill in the gaps. Check. Which questions give advice? What do other questions do? Post listening: - why? Will you do the same? Is it a nice idea?
We will give advice in difficult family situations. Take a card/read it/Do you understand your problem? Ask these questions. Turn you card write down the solution. Work in groups. What does number 1/2/3 do? You have 6 problems and 6 minutes to solve them.
Students work in groups (123) and compare their solutions and deside which one is the best. WC FB: SS tell what they will do in each situation
WC: Which problem was the most difficult? Why? Did they use the questions?
Write down the examples with mistakes on the WB. Ask SS to correct them. Compare in pairs. Elicit the answers and explanations on the WB.
SS work in pairs and create one more problem 2 min. We stick them on the walls. SS come and write down the advice. 3 min SS get their problems back and deside which advice is the best. 2
