Lesson 45
Step 1    Revision
Check the homework exercises.
2 Find out how much the Ss know about the USA. Ask questions like these: What's the capital of the USA? Name another big city. Who is the President? What money do they use in the USA? What do they eat and drink? Put any useful facts and key words that arise out of this discussion on the Bb.
Step 2    Presentation
SB Page 67, Part 1. Say Now read the dialogue silently and find out the answer to this question: How does Charlie advise Eric to spend his holiday? Write this question on the Bb. Allow the Ss a few moments to carry out the task. Check the answer. (Hire a car; visit some National Parks; go camping and take some friends with him.) See if the Ss can guess the meaning of downtown.
Step 3    Dialogue
Speech Cassette Lesson 45. Play the tape of the dialogue for the Ss to listen and follow. Go through the dialogue briefly and make sure the Ss understand it. Play the tape again. This time the Ss listen and repeat. Then let the Ss practise the dialogue in pairs. You may wish to ask one to act the scene in front of the class.
Wb Lesson 45, Ex. 1. Get Ss to ask and answer the questions in pairs. Then check several pairs in class.
Step 4    Practice
SB Page 67, Part 2. Read the introduction aloud. Get Ss to read through the phrases for giving advice on the left and the verbs on the right. When they have done this, point out that all the phrases on the left take an infinitive verb form, except What /How about... ? both of which take verb-ing. Get Ss to practise these forms in pairs, taking turns as the person giving advice. Then get Ss to shut their books and have a dialogue like the one in Part 1, but advising a visitor to China. Demonstrate with a good student first, taking the part of the Chinese person giving advice. Then put the Ss in pairs for the dialogue.
Step 5    Workbook
Wb Lesson 45, Ex. 2.
Ex. 2 can be done in Step 4 as a model dialogue on advising a visitor to China. Ss have to go through it and try to complete it themselves. Then collect the answers from the class. Finally call out a few pairs to act out the dialogue.
Step 6    Consolidation
Get groups of four Ss to have a dialogue like the one in Part 1 with their books shut. Two of the Ss are foreigners, and the other two are Chinese people giving advice.
