Giáo án Lesson 1

Ss activate prior knowledge about healthy and unhealthy habits and get ready for the topic Staying healthy.

T shows pictures of a child doing morning exercise, eating vegetables, drinking water, eating a lot of candy, and playing games all day. Ss give a thumbs up for healthy habits and a thumbs down for unhealthy habits, then say the sentence 'It's healthy.' or 'It's not healthy.'

Ss respond to all pictures with the correct gesture and short sentences, such as 'It's healthy.' or 'It's not healthy.'

Ss recognise the meaning of the eight new words and pronounce them correctly, especially the /θ/ sound in 'healthy'.

T presents the eight words with flashcards and audio. Ss listen, repeat and read each chunk aloud: exercise, regularly, yoga, vegetables, water, healthy, every day, morning. T models the /θ/ sound in 'healthy': the tip of the tongue touches lightly between the teeth and air is blown out, not /t/. Ss play the 'Cover and say' game: T covers the meaning and Ss say the word again from memory. Words are learnt in chunks such as 'morning exercise', 'exercise regularly', 'every day'.

Ss can read and say the eight words and the chunks correctly, pronounce 'healthy' with the /θ/ sound, and match each word with its Vietnamese meaning.

Ss understand and use the target question 'How does she stay healthy?', the answer 'She does morning exercise.', and the question 'How often ...?' with its answer.

T shows a picture of a girl doing morning exercise and asks the target question. T models the dialogue: A: How does she stay healthy? B: She does morning exercise. T explains the grammar in simple words: How do/does ... stay healthy? asks about the way to stay healthy. How often ...? asks about how frequently something happens. In statements with he/she, the verb takes s/es. In questions with does, the verb stays in its base form, as in 'stay'. Ss point to the picture and say the sentence with a partner.

Ss can ask and answer 'How does she stay healthy?' with 'She does morning exercise.' and explain in Vietnamese or English when to use 'does' and the base form of the verb.

Ss consolidate the vocabulary and listening skills through choosing, matching and filling activities.

Ss complete Exercises 1 to 5 in the textbook, using Worksheet 1. Exercise 1: choose the word meaning 'exercise' from A. exercise, B. yoga, C. healthy. Exercise 2: choose the word meaning 'regularly' from A. vegetables, B. regularly, C. every day. Exercise 3: match the words with their meanings: exercise - tập thể dục; regularly - đều đặn; yoga - yoga; vegetables - rau. Exercise 4: listen to the recording and choose the sentence you hear from A. Could you say that again, please?, B. She does exercise every day., C. She does morning exercise. Exercise 5: fill in the blank {{1}} with the word meaning 'vegetables'. T can use NeoEdu interactive exercises for self-checking after the lesson.

Ss complete Worksheet 1 with the following answers: Exercise 1: A (exercise); Exercise 2: B (regularly); Exercise 3: exercise - tập thể dục, regularly - đều đặn, yoga - yoga, vegetables - rau; Exercise 4: C (She does morning exercise.); Exercise 5: vegetables.

Ss arrange a natural conversation and choose the question that matches the purpose of asking about staying healthy.

Ss do Exercise 6 by arranging the conversation turns in Worksheet 2 into a natural order. Turns: Hello! Can we talk? / How does she stay healthy? / She does morning exercise. / Thank you for telling me. Then Ss do Exercise 7: choose the question that asks how a girl stays healthy from A. How does she stay healthy?, B. How often does she do exercise?, C. What food does she like? Ss practise the conversation in pairs.

Ss complete Worksheet 2 with the correct order: 1. Hello! Can we talk? 2. How does she stay healthy? 3. She does morning exercise. 4. Thank you for telling me. Exercise 7 answer: A (How does she stay healthy?).

Ss use the two target questions in a real-life role-play and evaluate their partner's performance.

Ss work in pairs. Each pair makes a short dialogue of at least four turns using the questions 'How does she stay healthy?' and 'How often does she do exercise?'. Ss first write the dialogue on a small card, then act it out in front of the class. Ss take turns as the interviewer and the interviewee. Peers evaluate with the criteria: correct function (1 point), two suitable answers (1 point), correct vocabulary and structure (1 point), clear speech and role change (1 point). This task can be continued at home by interviewing a family member.

Each pair writes and performs a dialogue with at least four turns, for example: A: How does she stay healthy? B: She does morning exercise. A: How often does she do exercise? B: She does exercise every day. Ss swap roles and evaluate with the criteria.
