I'll ask the STs whether or not they can play a musical instrument or are they able to sing. Maybe I'll give an example of a permitted situation in which they can play or sing a song so they think more about the other use of ''Can'': Can you play any instruments? Can you sing too/as well? Can you play or sing a song in a library? Can you play music in your own bedroom?

I'll explain what the text is about and then write a few questions that the STs should answer only by listening to the audio file. Before that I'll write and briefly explain the vocabulary that the students may find new: borrow/voice/pound/opinion/perform -Who likes the girl's performance more, Alfie or Rose? -Who can play the piano, Alfie, Rose or the girl? -Why does Alfie need money?/How much money does Alfie want? I'll play the audio twice.

The STs will have two minutes of pair checking after the second audio play. Then I'll voluntarily ask the answers from the STs and write them.

I'll read the text and explain it as much as I can an then, by asking the STs to highlight the sentences with ''can'', I'll clarify the two uses of the modal. Ability: I'll ask the STs to give simple examples and write them on the board, then I want them to find the closest meaning in the text. Permission: After a few examples by myself, I'll ask the STs: you can't speak loudly in a library. you can't smoke in the restaurant. I can't use a cellphone at school. Moving on to the last part of the conversation, clarification and highlighting of the sentence ''Can I borrow ....?'' will be provided. Now It's time for the STs to give examples orally.

As mentioned in the last part, the STs will give examples orally. If there's an appropriacy problem in their answers, It will be referred to either ability or permission. If there's a fluency or structural mistake, It'll be corrected immediately. Now It's time for the STs to get into groups of two and create 6 sentences based on the ''learn this'' part, two affirmative, two negative, two interrogative. The catch of this task is that the STs should create the sentences for permission as well. They'll be given 3 minutes in total, and after it, each group says on of their sentences based on what the teacher asks from them. ICQ is necessary before starting this task. *As an encouragement, each orally correct or useful sentence + their pair work will get a positive score on their class activity.

-Asking for their created sentences from the pair work. -Oral responses. -Positive points for their understanding. -Quick read through of the practice number 3.
