Procedure (34-45 minutes)
The teacher introduces the topic using the projector and makes sure that it is clearly understood by everyone. He then presents some typical contexts for relationships and asks students to talk about their real-life experiences of relationships in pairs or groups of 3. The teacher monitors.
Students are asked to do exercise 1 in the vocabulary section to clarify the differences between the pairs of words presented to them
Students are asked to refer to exercise 2 to match sentence halves. They then receive the answers by guessing what the answers are in a hand-out given by the teacher. They are then asked to write real examples using the expressions they have learnt.
Students are asked to jot down some main reasons for family disputes in groups, monitored by the teacher, however, their answers are not checked in the class.
Students read and listen to the text to form a summary of what they read their own words in one sentence. They are then asked to compare their ideas IN PAIRS.
Students are asked to work in groups of 3 to answer the questions in exercise 3 and check their answers.
Students are given the option to write their own personal answers depending on their own assumptions of the text and are then asked to hand over the paper to the teacher which is going to be corrected and returned the next session.
