Giáo án Lesson 2

Ss recall the jobs learned in earlier lessons and get ready for the new lesson.

T shows picture cards of jobs (teacher, doctor, nurse, farmer). Ss say the name of each job in a quick chain game: the first S says a job, the next S says another job without repeating.

Ss name at least four jobs correctly in English and say 'What does he/she do?' in a short question.

Ss recognise, pronounce and understand the meaning of the words school, hospital, farm and nursing home.

Look, listen and repeat: T shows four picture cards with the words. Then Ss play a 'Cover and guess' game: T covers the meaning and Ss say the word by using gestures or real objects (for example, a book for school, a stethoscope for hospital). Ss match the words with the picture in Worksheet No. 1, Part A.

Ss pronounce the four words correctly and match each word with its picture and Vietnamese meaning: school (trường học), hospital (bệnh viện), farm (nông trại), nursing home (viện dưỡng lão).

Ss understand the model dialogue and the structures for asking about jobs and workplaces.

Listen and repeat the model dialogue: A: Where does she work? B: She works at a hospital. T explains the key structures: 'What does he/she do?' asks about the job, and the answer is 'He's/She's a + noun' (for example, a doctor, a teacher). 'Where does he/she work?' asks about the workplace, and the answer is 'He/She works at…'. In questions we use 'does' + 'work' (no -s); in statements we add -s: 'works'.

Ss say the model dialogue with correct stress and can explain the use of 'does work' in questions and 'works' in statements in one or two sentences.

Ss use the jobs and places in meaningful sentences through a pair game.

Let's play: Partner A draws a job card (nurse, farmer or teacher). Partner B chooses a place card (nursing home, farm or school) and makes a sentence pair. Example: My aunt is a nurse. She works at a nursing home. Partners switch roles. The game allows other suitable places for a job, for example, a nurse can work at a hospital.

Each pair makes at least four meaningful pairs of sentences. Example: My uncle is a farmer. He works at a farm.

Ss consolidate the vocabulary and structures through exercises of listening, reading, ordering and writing.

Exercise 1: Match the words with their meanings. Exercise 2: Listen and choose the word you hear (A. farm; B. school; C. hospital; D. nursing home). Exercise 3: Fill in the blank: She ___ at a hospital. Exercise 4: Put the phrases in order: She / works / at / a hospital. Exercise 5: Choose the word that means 'viện dưỡng lão'. Exercise 6: True or false: 'school' means 'bệnh viện'. Exercise 7: Listen and choose the sentence you hear (A. Where does she work? B. She is a doctor. C. She works at a hospital.). Exercise 8: Work in pairs. Ask 'Where does she work?' and change the answer to suit yourself or an imagined character. Then write two turns of the dialogue. Exercises 1, 2, 5, 6 are in Worksheet No. 1; exercises 3, 4, 7, 8 are in Worksheet No. 2.

Answer key:

• Exercise 1: school – trường học; hospital – bệnh viện; farm – nông trại; nursing home – viện dưỡng lão.
• Exercise 2: A (farm).
• Exercise 3: works (She works at a hospital.)
• Exercise 4: She works at a hospital.
• Exercise 5: C (nursing home).
• Exercise 6: False ('school' means 'trường học'; 'hospital' means 'bệnh viện').
• Exercise 7: C (She works at a hospital.)
• Exercise 8: Pairs write two turns, for example: A: Where does she work? B: She works at a school. Assessment: correct question function, correct answer structure, suitable information, and clear and readable writing (four criteria, 2 points in total).

Ss apply the structures to real life by asking a family member about his or her job and place of work.

Ss interview a family member at home using the questions 'What do you do?' and 'Where do you work?'. Ss write three sentences about the family member in their notebooks, for example: My father is a farmer. He works at a farm. Ss can share the results in class at the next lesson. Note: If Ss' families do not work in those places, Ss may use an imagined character.

Ss write a short paragraph of three to four sentences about a family member's job and workplace, using 'He/She is a + job' and 'He/She works at + place'.
