Start the lesson by showing a fun cartoon about the volcanoes, which was the listening context of the previous lesson, and link two lessons. To engage students ask questions like 'Do you lava volcanoes?' (Lava was a word in the cartoon), Are they that innocent? Why?

To expose Ss to the TL ask them to find the indirect questions and fill in the chart using the audio script. Set 3 minutes. Students work individually. Get them to check in pairs later. Show the answers on the board.

Get them to find out the meaning with guided discovery. Show the sentences in the chart on the board and ask them some CCQs to clarify meaning: Who is the conversation between? (A professor and students) Who is asking the questions directly? (Professor) Who is asking the questions indirectly? (Students) Who needs to be more respectful and formal? Students or the professor? (Students) Which questions look more polite? Direct or Indirect? (Indirect) Then continue with the meaning-match exercise to enable them discover the meaning referring back to the audio script if necessary. Get them into pairs for this activty. Set 2 minutes. Then get in the answers in WCF. Ask a few more questions if necessary. To clarify form use the form-matching sheet. They will apply to the sentences in the chart again. Get them into pairs again. Set 2 minutes. Discuss the answers in WCF. Then highlight the form on the WB in detail and draw attention to the key points they may have difficulty. After doing these, work on pronunciation and linking using the introductory phrases on the board. Model and get them to drill firstly chorally and then individually.

Set 3 minutes. Get them to remake the questions in indirect form and answer them. Try to monitor well to check if they have understood. They will compare their answers with their partners before WCF.

Get them into groups of four. Tell them to prepare a role play using the questions on th cards. They need to form the questions in indirect form. Set 5 minutes. Give them the role play cards. To check if they have understood ask ICQs about the procedure. While they are preparing monitor well. After the time is up ask them to act out their roles. For the train station, amusement park and the hotel reception use the play the sound effects to make it more fun and realistic. Take notes about the mistakes to work on them at the end of the lesson.
