Giáo án Lesson 3

Ss recall the vocabulary of places and activities from previous lessons and get ready for the new lesson.

Ss pass a soft ball to the beat of music. When the music stops, the student holding the ball names one place or one activity from Unit 15 (for example: 'swimming pool', 'play tennis') and makes a short sentence with 'On Saturdays…'.

Ss name at least 5 places or activities correctly and make at least 3 short sentences with 'On Saturdays' or 'On Sundays'.

Ss recognise and pronounce the sounds /g/ in 'go' and /ʒ/ in 'television', and understand that 's' is not always /s/.

Look, listen and repeat: Ss look at the words 'go' and 'television', listen to the recording (en-US), then repeat each word. Listen, point and say: Ss listen to a sentence, point to the correct word in Exercise 1 and identify the sound of 's' in Exercise 2 (Look at the sound chart on the board: /g/ is a voiced plosive; /ʒ/ is a voiced fricative). Teacher listens and gives direct feedback; the NeoEdu page can be used for extra listening.

Ss pronounce 'go' and 'television' clearly. Exercise 1 answer: B (go). Exercise 2 answer: A (/ʒ/ in 'television').

Ss read a short text about a family's weekends, find the topic, and answer questions and match vocabulary.

Ss read the text: 'On Saturdays, my mother goes to the shopping centre. My brother goes to the sports centre and plays tennis. On Sundays, we watch television together.' First reading: find the topic (a family's weekends). Second reading: underline or circle the words that answer the questions. Then Ss complete Worksheet 1 (multiple-choice question, True/False statement, and matching new vocabulary to meanings).

Ss complete Worksheet 1. Answers: Exercise 4: A (the sports centre). Exercise 5: True (The family watches television on Sundays). Exercise 6: cinema – rạp chiếu phim; swimming pool – bể bơi; watch television – xem ti vi.

Ss say the target words with correct rhythm and stress, and use them in new sentences.

Let's chant (self-composed): 'go — clap — television — clap.' Ss read the two sentences: 'I go to the cinema. I watch television in the evening.' Ss work in groups of three: one student keeps the beat by clapping, one reminds the words, one says the sentences. Then they change roles and say two new sentences with each word.

Each group chants correctly with the rhythm and makes two new sentences: one with 'go' and one with 'television'. Example: 'I go to the swimming pool on Sundays. I watch television after dinner.'

Ss use the correct verb forms with he/she and write a short paragraph about a family's weekends.

Exercise 7: Ss choose the correct word from the box to complete the sentence 'She ___ yoga.' Exercise 8 (Let's write): Ss write 4–5 sentences about a family's weekend, using the imaginary table below or their own project. Ss start with a general sentence, then add details, and then reread to check does/goes/plays and the verb forms. Ss use Worksheet 2 to plan their writing.

Exercise 7 answer: does (She does yoga.). Ss write a paragraph of 4–5 sentences. Sample: 'On Saturdays, my dad goes to the sports centre. He plays tennis. On Sundays, my sister does yoga at home. I go to the swimming pool on Sundays. I swim there.'

Ss create a table about their family's weekends and present it using the target sentences, then answer a question from a classmate.

Project: 'My family's weekends.' Ss make a table for two family members and themselves, with the columns Person, Day, Where, What (Worksheet 2). Ss use the sample table if they do not have a real family: dad – Saturday – sports centre – play tennis; sister – Sunday – at home – do yoga; I – Sunday – swimming pool – swim. Ss then present 4–5 linked sentences to a partner, and the partner asks one question about the Unit (for example: 'Where does your dad go on Saturdays?').

A completed table with three people (Person, Day, Where, What) and a 4–5 sentence presentation. Sample presentation: 'On Saturdays, my dad goes to the sports centre. He plays tennis. On Sundays, my sister does yoga at home. I go to the swimming pool on Sundays. I swim there.' Ss answer the partner's question correctly.
