T greets Ss: 'Hello, class! How are you today?' T shows the countryside picture on the board and says: 'Look at the picture. It's a countryside after the rain.'
Pupils

Pupils
Ss look and answer in pairs or individually. Expected answers: 'I can see the rainbow.' / 'I can see the river.' / 'I can see the road.' (Ss may answer in Vietnamese; T gently models the English sentence and asks Ss to repeat.)
