Procedure (33-44 minutes)
I will start telling the learners about my past experience with my parents and how they got really worried about me and never left me alone and ask them to discuss in pairs how their parents worried about them or how they helped at home, enjoyed their free time or where they lest to go out alone.
I will highlight the words that learners may face problems with understanding such as (counselor, pushy, criticize, success, failure, develop, and psychologist) drill it and make sure to ask CCQs and ICQs
I will give them questions(2B) to read the sentences quickly and 2 min to go through the text and discuss which sentence suits the reading best and why? then give them feedback that sentence 2 is the most suitable. I will make them read the article and answer the 4 questions in(2c) to make them discuss their answers in pairs which will create productive speaking about the topic.
I will divide them into parents and teenager's groups to discuss what parents that are currently in action are doing with their kids and what their parents did with them in the past and they tried to change it while the teenagers also discuss what their parents do with them, and they do not like it and why they would try to change it.
i will provide content and language feedback
