I. Objectives

1. Language and specific competences

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
  • use the words busy, noisy, quiet, tall buildings and fields to describe city and countryside places
  • identify the most suitable place in a short reading text and a listening question (the countryside, a city, school in a village)
  • explain that the words describe each place, not every city or village in general
  • ask and answer full-sentence questions about school, subjects and summer holidays in a board game
  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to and read texts about city and countryside places, answer questions in full sentences during the board game, and write three sentences describing a place they know.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce busy, noisy, quiet, tall buildings and fields correctly, use the adjectives to describe places, and use the sentence patterns There is / There are and It is / It's in a village.

2. General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the statements and texts on their own first, then check the answers with a partner and correct their own mistakes.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to play the board game, take turns fairly, and explain their answers to each other.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss use context clues (rice fields, traffic, tall buildings) to choose the right place and write their own descriptions of a place they know.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss finish each task on time, practise each question in the board game at least once, and write their own three sentences without copying.
  • Responsibility: Ss take turns fairly during the board game, wait for their partner to answer, and help their partner when they are not sure.
  • Honesty: Ss admit when they are not sure of an answer, check the answer again, and do not guess without thinking.
  • Kindness: Ss praise and encourage their partner, give gentle feedback, and do not laugh at mistakes.
  • Patriotism: Ss show pride in the place they live in (a city, a village or a small town) when they describe it positively in English.

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 5 minutes

Warm-up and review: Where am I?

Aims

Ss recall the words they know about places and summer holidays, and get ready for the lesson.

Content

T shows two pictures one by one: a busy city street with tall buildings and a quiet field in the countryside. Ss guess where each place is and describe it with one or two words.

Expected outcomes

Ss name the two places (a city, the countryside) and use at least one describing word for each picture.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Let's play a guessing game. I will show you two pictures. Where is this place? How is it?' T shows picture 1.

    Pupils

    Ss look at the picture and listen to the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    T asks: 'Where is this place?' Then T shows picture 2 and asks: 'How is this place?'

    Pupils

    Ss answer. Expected answers: 'It is a city.' / 'It is busy and noisy.' / 'It is the countryside.' / 'It is quiet.'

  3. Teacher

    T calls on two or three Ss to say one full sentence each about the pictures.

    Pupils

    Ss say sentences such as 'There are tall buildings in the city.' and 'There are fields in the countryside.'

  4. Teacher

    T writes on the board: city – countryside, and says: 'Today we will learn words to describe these places and play a board game.'

    Pupils

    Ss look at the board and copy the title into their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Exploration · 10 minutes

Look, listen and repeat: city and countryside words

Aims

Ss pronounce and understand the words busy, noisy, quiet, tall buildings and fields, and use them to describe places.

Content

Ss look at the pictures and the word cards, listen to the model pronunciation, and repeat in chorus and individually. T explains that the words describe a particular place, and that a city can have a quiet park and the countryside can have busy places.

Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce the five words correctly and make two sentences describing a city and a countryside place, for example 'The street is busy.' and 'The park is quiet.'

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows each word card with its picture and says: 'Look, listen and repeat.' T says each word, stressing tall buildings and fields.

    Pupils

    Ss look, listen and repeat in chorus, then individually. Ss note the meaning in their notebooks (busy = đông đúc, noisy = ồn ào, quiet = yên tĩnh).

  2. Teacher

    T shows the picture of a city with a busy street and a quiet park, and asks: 'Is every place in the city noisy?' Ss answer with a partner.

    Pupils

    Ss answer in pairs. Expected answer: 'No. The street is busy, but the park is quiet.'

  3. Teacher

    T asks several pairs to describe one picture using the pattern 'There is / There are…' and 'It is…'.

    Pupils

    Ss share: 'There are tall buildings in the city. It is busy.' / 'There are fields in the countryside. It is quiet.'

  4. Teacher

    T summarises: 'We use these words to describe a place we see. We do not say that all cities are noisy and all villages are quiet.' T also explains that extension (hoạt động mở rộng) is an extra activity after the main lesson.

    Pupils

    Ss write the key words and the note in their notebooks.

Activity 2.2: Exploration · 10 minutes

Match and judge: which description is true?

Aims

Ss match descriptions with the correct words and decide whether general statements about cities and villages are true or false.

Content

Ss complete Part A and Part B of Worksheet 1 in pairs. Part A is a matching task. Part B asks Ss to read a statement and decide if it is true or false, then correct it.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 1. Answer key: roads with many buses – busy; a place with little noise – quiet; very high houses – tall buildings; the statement 'Every place in a city is noisy and every place in the countryside is always quiet' is False, because a city park can be quiet and a countryside area can have busy places.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T hands out Worksheet 1 to each pair and says: 'Read the description carefully, then match it with a word. In Part B, decide if the statement is true or false.'

    Pupils

    Ss read the instructions and work in pairs.

  2. Teacher

    T walks around, checks pairs that are stuck, and asks: 'What word describes a place with little noise?'

    Pupils

    Ss match the descriptions with busy, quiet and tall buildings. In Part B, Ss discuss: 'Is every city place noisy? Can a village have busy places?'

  3. Teacher

    T asks one pair to read the answer for Part A and another pair to explain their answer for the false statement.

    Pupils

    Ss answer: 'Roads with many buses – busy.' 'The statement is false. A city park can be quiet.'

  4. Teacher

    T confirms the answers and explains: 'These words describe a place. A general statement such as All cities are noisy is often not correct.'

    Pupils

    Ss correct any wrong answers in their worksheets.

Activity 3.1: Practice · 10 minutes

Let's read and choose: where is it?

Aims

Ss read short texts and listen to a question, then choose the most suitable place or answer.

Content

Ss do Worksheet 2, Parts A to C. Part A has two reading texts about a village and a city. Part B asks Ss to fill in an antonym: busy and noisy are the opposite of quiet. Part C is a listening task: Ss listen to the question Where is your school? and choose the correct answer. T shows the interactive exercises on NeoEdu for checking.

Expected outcomes

Ss complete Worksheet 2. Answer key: A (the countryside); B (a city); quiet; C (It is in a village.).

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T reads the first text aloud: 'This place has rice fields and a small farm.' T asks: 'Which place is it?' and reminds Ss to read the whole text before choosing.

    Pupils

    Ss read along, then look at the three options for the question.

  2. Teacher

    T plays the audio for the listening question and then shows the NeoEdu interactive exercise for Part A and Part B on the projector. T checks the answers with the class.

    Pupils

    Ss listen to the question, choose the answer in pairs and answer the interactive questions. Expected answers: 'The countryside', 'A city', 'quiet', 'It is in a village.'

  3. Teacher

    T asks: 'Why is it not a city centre?' and 'Why is the answer C in the listening part?'

    Pupils

    Ss explain using the key words: 'There are rice fields and a small farm, so it is the countryside.' / 'It is in a village is the answer for the question Where is your school?'

  4. Teacher

    T says: 'Read the whole text and the whole question before you choose. Do not guess from only one word.'

    Pupils

    Ss write the correct answers in their worksheets.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 15 minutes

Let's talk: six-square board game

Aims

Ss practise asking and answering full-sentence questions about school, subjects and holidays in a fair turn-taking game.

Content

Pairs play a board game with six squares. Each square has one question, for example: Where is your school? / How many classrooms are there in your school? / What is your favourite subject? / When do you have English? / Where did you spend your summer holiday? / What do you do on Sunday? Pairs take turns to roll the die or draw a card from 1 to 6, move to the square, read the whole question aloud, and answer in a full sentence. If they are not sure, they ask their partner to explain and look back at the model sentences.

Expected outcomes

Each pair answers at least six questions in full sentences. Model answers: 'It is in a village.' / 'There are eight classrooms.' / 'My favourite subject is Maths.' / 'I have English on Monday.'

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T shows the board game on the poster and models one turn with a strong S: 'Roll the die. Move to square 1. Read the question. Answer in a full sentence.' T emphasises that Ss must read or listen to the whole question before answering.

    Pupils

    Ss watch the model turn and repeat the rules in a whisper.

  2. Teacher

    T asks pairs to start. T walks around, listens to the questions and answers, and corrects pronunciation and grammar quietly.

    Pupils

    Ss take turns in pairs. Example: 'Where is your school?' – 'It is in a village.' / 'How many classrooms are there in your school?' – 'There are eight classrooms.' If unsure, a partner asks: 'Can you explain?'

  3. Teacher

    T asks two or three pairs to tell the class the question they found hardest and how they answered it.

    Pupils

    Ss share: 'The hardest question was When do you have English? My answer is I have English on Monday.'

  4. Teacher

    T praises the fair turn-taking and corrects common mistakes on the board, for example the use of is/are and the full sentence form.

    Pupils

    Ss write down two sentences they want to remember in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 20 minutes

Fun corner and wrap-up: my place project

Aims

Ss use the vocabulary and sentence patterns from the lesson to write a short description of a city or a countryside place they know, avoiding general statements that all places are the same.

Content

Each S chooses a city or a village they know well (for example, their town or a place they visited in summer). Ss write three sentences to describe the place, using busy, noisy, quiet, tall buildings or fields. Ss then read their sentences to a partner, and the partner gives one positive comment. The task can continue at home as a short project: a drawing with a four-sentence description.

Expected outcomes

Each S writes three correct, specific sentences, for example: 'My town is small.' / 'There is a quiet park.' / 'The street near the market is busy.' Ss also give one positive comment to a partner.

Procedure

  1. Teacher

    T says: 'Think of a place you know well. Is it a city or a village? Write three sentences about it. Do not say that all places are the same.'

    Pupils

    Ss think about a place and write three sentences in their notebooks.

  2. Teacher

    T walks around, helps Ss with word choice, and reminds them of the sentence pattern It is… / There is… / There are…

    Pupils

    Ss write their sentences individually. Expected sentence: 'My village is small. There are fields near my house. The market is busy in the morning.'

  3. Teacher

    T asks Ss to read their sentences to a partner. Then T calls on three Ss to read aloud to the class.

    Pupils

    Ss read their sentences aloud. The partner says one positive comment, for example: 'Your sentences are clear.'

  4. Teacher

    T praises the good sentences, reviews the key words busy, noisy, quiet, tall buildings and fields, and gives the homework task.

    Pupils

    Ss listen, note the homework and check the words in their notebooks.
