Giáo án Lesson 3

Ss activate prior knowledge about healthy habits and get ready for the lesson.

T shows pictures of daily activities (eating vegetables, drinking water, playing sports, going to bed early) and asks Ss to say which activities are healthy. Ss answer with simple sentences such as: Eating vegetables is healthy.

Ss name at least four healthy habits in English, and they are ready to learn the new lesson.

Ss understand, pronounce and use the pattern How often does she do exercise? and the vocabulary of the lesson to ask and answer about frequency.

Pattern: How often does she do exercise? / She does exercise every day. Vocabulary: exercise (tập thể dục), regularly (đều đặn), yoga (yoga), vegetables (rau), water (nước), healthy (khỏe mạnh), every day (hằng ngày), morning (buổi sáng). T explains that How do/does ... stay healthy? asks about ways to stay healthy and How often ...? asks about frequency. In a statement with he/she, the verb takes -s/-es (She does, She goes), while after does in a question the verb stays in the base form (does exercise, not does exercises).

Ss can say the pattern correctly, use at least five new words in short sentences and ask and answer about frequency in pairs.

Ss recognise and practise the word stress in yes/no questions about health and habits.

T uses the model: Does she eat fresh fruit? The stressed words are eat, fresh and fruit. The word does and the pronoun she are lighter. Second model: Does he swim twice a week? The stressed words are swim, twice and week. The rhythm is kept between the content words; the words are not all stressed equally.

Ss can mark the stressed words in two sentences, and they say the questions with the correct rhythm and clap on the stressed syllables.

Ss read a short text for general and specific information and find the answer to a question about frequency.

T gives the text: Lan stays healthy in simple ways. She does morning exercise every day. She eats vegetables with lunch and dinner. She drinks water after playing sports. She goes to bed early. She watches TV only after finishing her homework. Ss first read to find the main character and the topic. Then they read again to underline time words (every day, with lunch and dinner, after playing sports, early, only after), places and activities. The question is: How often does Lan do exercise? Use Worksheet 1.

Ss answer the question with the English phrase every day and complete the matching part of Worksheet 1 correctly.

Ss practise the vocabulary and the target sentences through matching, choosing and ordering tasks.

Exercise 2: Choose the English word or phrase that means tập thể dục. A. yoga; B. healthy; C. exercise. Exercise 3: Choose the word that means đều đặn. A. regularly; B. vegetables; C. every day. Exercise 4: Match the words to their meanings: exercise - tập thể dục; regularly - đều đặn; yoga - yoga; vegetables - rau. Exercise 5: Listen and choose the sentence you hear: A. Could you say that again, please? B. She does morning exercise. C. She does exercise every day. Exercise 6: Use the correct vocabulary item for rau: vegetables. Exercise 7: Put the lines of the conversation in the correct order: Hello! Can we talk? / How often does she do exercise? / She does exercise every day. / Thank you for telling me.

Answers: 2 - C (exercise); 3 - A (regularly); 4 - exercise - tập thể dục; regularly - đều đặn; yoga - yoga; vegetables - rau; 5 - C (She does exercise every day.); 6 - vegetables; 7 - Hello! Can we talk? / How often does she do exercise? / She does exercise every day. / Thank you for telling me.

Ss practise asking and answering about frequency in a fast and fun way.

Ss stand in a circle. T throws a small ball to a student and asks a question: How often do you eat vegetables? The student catches the ball, answers with a full sentence, for example: I eat vegetables every day, and throws the ball to another student who asks a new question. Question prompts: How often do you drink water? How often do you do exercise? How often do you go to bed early? Ss must use does/do and the correct verb form.

Each S answers at least one question with a full sentence using every day, regularly or the correct frequency, and the class uses the target pattern accurately.

Ss create a healthy lifestyle chart about their own habits and present it in four or five sentences.

Project: My healthy lifestyle. Ss draw a pie chart or a three-branch map with three branches: Food and drink, Exercise and Rest. Each branch has one specific habit and how often they do it, for example: Food and drink - eat vegetables every day; Exercise - walk every day; Rest - go to bed early. Ss use Worksheet 2 to plan their chart. Then they present their chart in four or five sentences and answer one question from a classmate. Ss describe their real habits and do not copy the sample. Fun corner: T shows a picture of a girl doing yoga and asks Ss: What is she doing? Ss answer: She is doing exercise / doing yoga (the picture is used to practise the vocabulary, see Exercise 10).

Each S completes a healthy lifestyle chart with three branches and presents it in four or five sentences, answering one question from a classmate. Example presentation: This is my healthy lifestyle chart. I eat vegetables with my meals and drink water every day. I walk with my family in the evening. I do gentle exercise in the morning. I also go to bed early so that I have time to rest.
