While-Speaking Stage (20 minutes) • To provide students with less challenging gist and specific information reading/listening tasks

The teacher asks the student to make up a logical sentence by using the chosen adjective and animals. If the answer is correct, teacher says thanks. If not, teacher asks the other students to retry the exercise. If the correct sentence doesn't come up by students, the teacher writes the sentence to the board in correct order.

The teacher collects the flashcards back and starts to ask questions to students about their pets and wants them to describe an animal they choose.
