Talk about collecting beer can labels and introduce Mr. Hip, who loves practicing yoga, and is the theme of an IPA beer produced in Vancouver, Canada.

Read these sentences. What do you notice about them? Ask these questions to your colleague, and write down the answers: What do you like collecting? OR What do you like to collect?

OR Which activities do you love to do or hate to do? _______________xxx________________xxx________________ Do you *enjoy doing* any physical exercise? Which one? Do you *mind getting* up early?

Which activities do you love to do or hate to do? __________________xxx_______________xxx______________________ Do you *enjoy doing* any physical exercise? Do you *enjoy cooking*? Do you *mind getting* up early? Do you *mind driving*?

An exercise will be given to students asking them to look at the examples. Then write sentences about themselves choosing from some verbs, and write down their various options. This will be done with 2 slides: 1st slide: like / don’t like, love/hate, prefer/prefer not. 2nd slide: enjoy/don't enjoy, don't mind. like / don’t like love / hate prefer / prefer not Examples: (fly) I like flying OR I like to fly I don’t like flying OR I don’t like to fly (play cards) I love playing cards OR I love to play cards I hate playing cards OR I hate to play cards (shop) I prefer shopping at the mall OR I prefer to shop at the mall OR I prefer not to shop at the mall 1) (go to museums)_____________________________________ 2) (drive)_______________________________________________ 3) (get up early)_________________________________________ 4) (do exercises)________________________________________ 5) (make the bed)_______________________________________ 6) (cook)_______________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ enjoy/don’t enjoy don’t mind Examples: (be alone) I enjoy being* alone OR I don’t enjoy being* alone (clean) I don’t mind cleaning* the house by myself. 1) (go to museums)_____________________________________ 2) (drive)_______________________________________________ 3) (get up early)_________________________________________ 4) (do exercises)________________________________________ 5) (make the bed)_______________________________________ 6) (cook)___________________________________

A "Fill in the gaps" exercise will be given asking the students to choose from the different forms that they can use with the verbs.

Another slide will be presented asking students to look carefully at the sentences. Then I will ask them what do they notice? Mr. Hip likes doing yoga (do) Mr. Hip doesn’t like running (run) I love collecting labels (collect) I don’t like wrapping gifts (wrap) Lucy hates swimming (swim) She doesn’t hate watching TV (watch) They love getting up early (get up) They don’t like staying in bed (stay) Another slide will list and highlight some of the verbs that have their consonant doubled when we add the "ing" Discuss with your colleague and tell me what did you discover? Run + ing = Running Jog + ing = Jogging Put + ing = Putting Get + ing = Getting Shop + ing = Shopping Stop + ing = Stopping Wrap + ing = Wrapping Swim + ing = Swimming Students may be placed in break-out rooms to discuss their discoveries.

Another fill-in-the-gaps exercise will be given to students. I will ask them to pay attention and use the verbs in the brackets. There will be cases where they will need to double the consonants in the verbs, which was explained before. 1.  He…………………………(love/run) marathons, but he  ……………………………..(hate/shop).   2.  I  ………………………….(not like/dance), I  ……………………………………(prefer/jog).   3.  They…………………(love/ride) horses, but they….………….(not like/learn) English.   4.  Tom…………………(enjoy/listen) to music. He…………………(not like/do)  his homework.   5. Lucy……………(not mind/walk) the dog and.……………(get) a treat for it at the pet shop. 6. She…………………… …(not like/put up) with the noisy neighbours.   7. We really………………………..(enjoy/go) to the cinema and………………(eat) popcorn. 8. We………………(not mind/stop) at the mall for the gifts, but we….…..(prefer not/wrap) them.   9. I…………………………(not like/sail) a boat, but I……..………………(prefer/swim).  If we have time, another exercise will be given where students will "freely" write sentences about the clip-arts they see. They will need to use the verbs like, love, hate, prefer, enjoy, mind. If the time is over I will give this task as homework.
