Procedure (31-45 minutes)
I show students a photo of a wedding party. I ask them questions about the photo and elicit some words such as (wedding, bride, groom, wedding anniversary) I start to tell them a story about the bride and the groom and put years on the board. I elicit the years from them just to test their knowledge then I correct the mistakes with them. At the end of the activity I ask them to repeat the years one more time before the next activity.
I tell students they are going to listen and match. I show them an example on the board first. I play the recording. Students listen and match. I ask them to check the answers in pairs. Then I check with the whole class. After that I drill some years with students to help them pronounce them correctly.
I tell students they are going to listen to Rajeet talking to his friend about his wedding anniversary.They listen and choose the correct answer. I give them time first to read the sentenes then I play the recording. Students listen and choose the correct answer. I ask them if they want to listen again. After they finish I ask them to check their answers in pairs. Then I check with the whole class. I tell students they are going to listen one more time and answer questions from (1-6). I give them time first to read the questions then I play the recording. Students listen and answer the questions. I play the recording one more time if necessary. After they finish I ask them to check their answers in pairs. Then I check with the whole class. Incase students find it difficult to understand the recording or answer the questions, I give them the audioscript to read from it and answer.
I show students a photo of an indian wedding. I ask them questions to elicit some information from them. I put them in pairs and ask them to discuss what they know about Indian weddings. I set a time limit of two minutes then I discuss with the whole class.
I put student in pairs (1,2) and tell them they are going to practise the conversation. for students 1 they are (Rajeet) and for students 2 they are (his friend). I demonstrate with a student first to help them recognise what intonation they should use. After they finish I ask them to switch roles and practise again. While they are working, I'll be monitoring and help them when neessary.
I put students in pairs. I tell them they are going to ask each other questions. I give them handouts. While they are workiing, I'll be monitoring and taking notes on their mistakes. After they finish, I'll discuss these questions with them and correct their mistakes.

I ask them to remember when and where their wedding was, the music, the food & drink, the people there. Then I ask them to open their eyes and write notes on the points I referred to. I give them two minutes to write notes Then I put them in groups of three and ask them to talk about their wedding day.While they're talking I'll be monitoring and provide help when necessary.
