What about in other parts of the world? SLIDE 2 +"What do we say when we meet someone for the first time or when we encounter someone we've known for a while?

SLIDE 6 I have a google forms for you, you have to click on wether you think the sentence can be used when you first meet someone or when you have known the person for a bit now, you have 2 minutes to complete that. Any questions about that?" "Are there any questions regarding when these phrases can be used? *explains if yes* Ok Ss(x) when do we use 'Long time no see'? Ss2(x) do we use 'How do you do?' for people we know already or people we are meeting for the first time? Ss(3x), now what about How are things?"

What words are stressed? What about surprise how does it sound? Do we stress the beginning or the end? (end) 'great to see you' repeat... What words are stressed? (great, see) 'how nice!' (rep) what does that ! do? (brings the intonation up) 'That is fantastic news' (rep) Stress? (fantastic) 'Brilliant!' (rep) sound plain? or exited?
T to Ss "did you notice that there was a short conversation after the people from the recordings said hello? Do you know what that is called? (small talk, catching up, etc) "What do we use it for? (to seem interested in the other person, for politeness) It is important to be polite and be interested (preferably really interested and not just faking) in these conversations because it creates a friendly atmosphere." "Now I want you to work in pairs, I will put you in some BR, You will have to greet your peer and make a little bit of small talk with them, you can ask about their day, or their job. I want you to react to what your partner tells you, alright? you have 10 minutes for this. Any questions before we begin?"
Check for mistakes while on freer practice and write them down and then present them to Ss and correct. Maybe ask students what is wrong with the sentences/phrases. Say bye-bye.
