I'm going to show the SS 3 pictures from the 1st slide one by one and get them make the predictions - what are we going to talk about today? SS will work in pairs adding to their ideas as the photos appear. After the discussion get FB from some pairs. - So the topic of our discussion today is relationship, you guessed it right.

Give HO to SS and ask them work individually on ex. 1A arranging the ways people meet friends and partners. Once they are ready, get them in pairs and check their works. Before passing to the reading of the article pre-teach some of the vocabulary: frequent, suburbs, tollbooth, traffic cone; Carnegie Hall, New York State Thruway, New York Yankees.

Switch the presentation to slide 1 (with the photo of Sonya and Michael). - These are the main characters of our article, Sonya and Michael. I want you to read the article very quickly and tell me "Why did their relationship almost never happen?" SS work individually reading for a gist and working out the answer to the question. When they are ready, get the FB from 2-3 SS, eliciting the correct answer.

Now you know that Sonya and Michael were very lucky to meet each other and now they are happy together. I want you to find more information about them. You will have 2-3 minutes and find in the text the following information: their jobs, their likes, their first date, where they live now and what they do now. SS scan the text for the given points, underlining necessary information in the text. The points are written in the board for them to follow. then check your answers together. Great, you've coped with this task pretty well and you know more about our main characters. Please, turn to ex.1C. Here we have all the events that happened to Sonya and Michael. I want you to arrange them in the correct order, number one is already done for you. You can look at the text if necessary. SS work individually reading the article for more details and arranging the events in the correct order. Put SS in pairs to check their guesses, ask the early finishers write their answers on the slide on the board. Check with the WC. I suppose you have noticed some highlighted words in the article and may be already guessed thier meanings. Now working with a partner match these words with the meanings in ex.1D. You have 3 minutes to do that. SS work in pairs looking back at the text and trying to work out the meaning of the words. Once they are ready, ask them to exchange their papers with a different pair and check. Eliciting the part of speech with the WC.
