I'll greet the students with a warm smile and ask them about their day. I'll say now I know that you like travelling and a lot of you have travelled either locally or abroad. I want you to discuss two or three acceptable or not acceptable manners where you travelled in groups. For example, It is rude to cut in line Eating in public is a bad manner. I'll divide the class into groups of three. A representative of the group will say the sentences they discussed.

Now I want you to skim through these sentences individually then answer the following question: What is the main idea of these sentences? You have 5 minutes. ICQs Are you going to work individually ir in pairs? (Individually) How many minutes do you have? (5 minutes) Are you going to find the main idea? (Yes) 1- Eating food on a subway or bus is a bad manner. 2- It's rude to cut in line. 3. You should try to keep your voice down in public. 4. You can offend someone by not bowing or shaking hands when you meet. 5. People might stare at you for walking around barefoot 6- Having an argument in public is considered a bad manner. 7. It's impolite to walk into someone's home without taking off your shoes. 8- You should try not to stand too close to people. It's considered rude. 9. It's acceptable not to tip cab drivers. Controlled Practice: Please read the sentences again individually. Are they true in your country? Check True or False. You have 5 minutes. ICQS Are you going to work individually or in pairs? (Individually) How many minutes do you have? (5 minutes) Are you going to tick true or false? (Yes)

I'll write the sentences that contain the structure on the board. 1- Eating food on a subway or bus is a bad manner. 2- It's rude to cut in line. 3- You can offend someone by not bowing or shaking hands when you meet. Eliciting Questions Is the verb followed by ing in sentences 1 and 3? (Yes) Is the verb preceded by to in sentence 2? (Yes) Is the preposition in sentence 3 followed by verb plus ing or to plus verb? Does not come before the word it negates or after it? Is the verb in sentences 1 and 3 used as a subject or an object? (As a subject) Next, I'll read the rule from the students book in page 29. I'll ask the students to read it and correct their mistakes if they have any.. Structure: Form • verb + -ing as a subject Eating in public is bad manners. Not shaking hands is impolite. • verb + -ing after prepositions You can offend people by eating in public. People might stare at you for not wearing shoes. • to + verb after It's . . . It's bad manners to eat in public. It's impolite not to shake hands. • Position of not Not precedes the word it negates. Be careful not to point at people. You can offend people by not bowing. Use • Verb + -ing is often used as a subject. Eating in public is bad manners. ( = the act of eating) • Verb_+ -ing is the form of the verb used after a preposition (e.g., You can offend people by eating in public.). This is an important rule in English for Ss to know. • It is possible to use to + verb as a subject (e.g., To eat in public is bad manners.). However, in many cases, it sounds much more formal than the gerund (verb+ -ing) and in some cases, a little old-fashioned for conversational use. The use of It as an "empty" subject followed by to+ verb is much more commonly used (e.g., It's bad manners to eat in public). • Not generally comes before the word it negates. Changing the position of not will often change the meaning of the sentence. It's acceptable not to tip.(= It's OK if you don't tip.) It's not acceptable to tip. (= It's not OK to tip.) CCQS CCQs Is the verb +ing used as a subject or object? (Used as a subject) Do I use verb +ing after prepositions or another verb form? (Verb +ing) Is it better to use to +verb as a subject or the verb+ing? (Verb +ing) Does not come before the word it negates or after it? (Before it) Does changing the position of not change the meaning? (Yes) Pronunciation: I'll point back to the marker sentences and stress the verb +ing .and to plus verb I'll stress on the structure of the sentence. I'll use my fingers to stress the structure. I'll ask the class to read the sentences individually, then in groups, then whole class.

Students are given an exercise to apply the grammar rules. It’s exercise 2A p.25. The exercise asks the students to complete sentences about eating at restaurants using verb +ing or to +verb.. They should work in pairs and they have 5 minutes. ICQs: Are you going to complete the sentences or correct them? (Complete) Are you going to work in pairs or individually? (In pairs) How many minutes do you have? (5 minutes) How many minutes do you have? (5 minutes) Answer: 1- to take 2- to call 3- Arriving, not showing 4- to sit down 5- to complain 6- for not paying 7- Talking, taking 8- not leaning, giving 9- Asking 10- not to thank, not saying

Task 2B is considered semi-controlled practice. Students are required to discuss the statements they answered in exercise 2A (if they agree or disagree with them) and come up with additional etiquette advice. It is considered semi controlled because the questions have more than one possible answer, yet they still depend on the students’ opinions. Students have 5 minutes. They should work in groups. ICQs Are you going to state your opinion or rewrite the sentence? (State my opinion) What will you do next? ( Come up with additional advice) How many minutes do you have? (5 minutes) Are you going to work in pairs or in groups? (In groups)

I will ask the students to do exercise 2C, it is considered freer practice as it allows the students to express themselves freely. The students are given some situations and are asked to come up with some etiquette advice for these situations. Students will do this exercise in pairs and they have 5 minutes. ICQs: 1- Are you going to give advice about what to do in these situations? (Yes) 2- Are you going to work in groups or pairs? (In pairs0 3- How mny minutes do you have (5 minutes) 8 – 10
