Warm-up and review: Summer places
Aims

Expected outcomes
Ss name two or three places they like to visit in summer and are ready for the new lesson.
Procedure
Teacher's activities
Pupils' activities
Teacher
T greets the class and shows a picture of a sunny day. T asks: 'What season is it now?'
Pupils
Ss answer: 'Summer.' Ss look at the picture and get ready to speak.
Teacher
T asks: 'Where did you go last summer?' and points to the picture of the sea.
Pupils
Ss answer in short phrases, for example: 'I went to the sea.' or 'I stayed at home.' Some Ss may answer in Vietnamese; T repeats the idea in English.
Teacher
T writes the places Ss mention on the board and asks two or three Ss to say their answers again.
Pupils
Ss listen and repeat the places after T. Ss copy the words they know into their notebooks.
Teacher
T says: 'Today we will learn four places for our summer holidays and how to ask about them.' T writes the title of the lesson on the board.
Pupils
Ss open their textbooks at Unit 10, Lesson 1 and listen to the teacher.
