Description

In this lesson SS learns about a basic sentences and expressions for daily conversations in English.I am planning to start a lesson by making them watch a sample video to show an example of how these conversations can be made. Following this activity, students practices a short conversation in pairs by paying attention to the chart based on 'How are you?' question.Listening activity will take place and students will compare their answers and they are supposed to practice again as a mingling activity.Pairs assigned different completion conversation and then stand up and act them out.Once they have done this with one example they do the same with the next.
