T is to start the lesson with: “We’ve talked about winning lottery today. My grandma is always so lucky! Last weekend she won an oven. She decided to sell it, as she didn’t need it. She bought a lottery ticket for 2 tl in the supermarket and and went home without expecting to win. She got home and decided to take a nap. She was sleeping when the lottery company called her. She received the oven on the same day, but she didn’t like it. So she decided to sell it. She sold the oven on Sunday. After she sold the oven she ended up with around 4000 tl! I was dying my hair, when she called me. She told me her news, called me a loser and hang up one me. This is how my grandma spent last weekend”. After giving Ss an example of TL, T is to ask them about their weekend: “What did you do this weekend?”(PW)
