Then T writes down some sentences on WB. She/he gives some examples of herself/himself then allows sts fill in the gaps. E.g. I....................ice-cream I....................volleyball I............ ..................cheese. I................ ...................football. T focuses the positive and negative meaning,the form and pronounciation of like-don't like phrases by underlining on WB. Then T puts the pictures of the characters from the course book and makes speech bubbles next to them on WB and elicits sts who they are,what they like or don't like,what they do and don't and later on she/he starts to read aloud the sentence patterns from the course book(exercise 1a sentence patterns)to take the sts's attention to ''like,don't like'' for a quick review and an entrance to the listening part.
