Ss will read a text on Google docs. The text is about a person who is throwing a birthday party, he invites his friends, two of them accept the invitation and two of them decline the invitation. Ss will see that the text has sentences in different colours. Ss will read the text and identify What colour represents making an invitation...? accepting an invitation? declining invitation? T will give OCFP
T will show some expressions from the previous conversation (Would you like to, I was wondering if you'd like, sorry! I´m busy that day) on Google form, Ss have to read and choose the definition of the expression, after the Ss will see the 3 words taken from the expressions and they have to identify if the words are modals adjectives, verbs and for pronunciation, Ss will match the words with the correct phonetic symbols.
