Play the tape twice.

Check the answers.

Step 3.  A game

Prepare 15 cards to give students. 5 with “Yes”, 5 with” No”, and

the other 5 with invitations. Give the cards to students. And

then make conversations.

  A: I have a birthday party this evening. Can you come to my party?

  B: Sure, I’d love to.

  C: I’m sorry, I can’t. I have to do my homework.

 

Step 4. 2b

        Ask a student to read the five sentences in 2b. Tell students these are the reasons why people can’t go to the party. Now listen to the recording again. This time you should write the number of a conversation (1--3)in front of the reasons. Two of the reasons are not in the conversations. These two have no answers.

         Play the tape.

         Check the answers.

 

Step 5. 2c Pairwork

         Ask students if they can give other reasons besides the lists in 2b.(possible answers: not feeling well, have to babysit, going on a trip, go hiking)

         Now let students look at the sample conversation in the book. Ask a pair of students to read it to class.

         Now work with a partner. One of you is student A and one of you is student B. Student A, invites your partner to do something with you, and student B , say you can’t do it and give a reason. Then change the role.

         Ask some pairs to present their conversation to the class.

 

Step 6. Grammar Focus

         Call attention to the Grammar Focus. Divide the class into two parts to read the sentences. One asks, and the other answers. Then change the role.

 

Step 7. Homework

1.      Copy the sentences in Grammar Focus. (three times)

2.  Choose two reasons from 2b to make conversations imitating 2c.
