Ss read the dialogue silently and answer three questions: 'Who is talking to whom?', 'Where are they?' and 'What is the purpose of the conversation?' Ss underline words related to natural wonders of Viet Nam and guess their meanings from surrounding sentences before checking the vocabulary list (waterfall, island, cave, desert, suncream, plaster, backpack, scissors).
Dialogue: Hoa: Let's visit the waterfall on Sunday. An: Good idea. What time can we meet? Hoa: Is eight o'clock OK? We can meet at the school gate. An: That's fine. I have a backpack and some water. Hoa: We must stay with the guide. We mustn't climb the wet rocks. An: I'll bring a raincoat, too.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Language focus: countable nouns and modal verbs

a) Aims

Ss understand and use some, any, many, much, must and mustn't in the context of planning a trip.

b) Content

T presents the language in context:

Countable nouns have singular and plural forms: an island, two islands. Water and rice are usually uncountable and are not counted directly. We say: some water, a bottle of water.
Some is usually used in affirmative sentences; any is used in negative sentences and questions. Many is used with plural countable nouns; much is used with uncountable nouns.
Must + base verb shows a requirement. Mustn't shows a prohibition; it does not mean 'do not need to'.
Ss complete Worksheet 1 in pairs, then make two sentences about the dialogue.

c) Expected outcomes

Worksheet 1 completed:

Countable nouns: an island / two islands, a cave / two caves.
Uncountable nouns: water, rice, shade. Example: We need some water.
some (affirmative), any (negative/question), many (plural countable), much (uncountable).
must (requirement): We must stay with the guide.
mustn't (prohibition): We mustn't climb the wet rocks.
Key sentences: 'We need some water.' 'Do we need any suncream?' 'There are many islands in Ha Long Bay.' 'There is not much shade.'

Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T monitors and asks guiding questions: 'Can we say three waters? Why not?' 'Is must used for a requirement or a prohibition?' T gives correct feedback.
Students
Ss complete the table in Worksheet 1. Expected answer: 'We can say a bottle of water, not two waters, because water is uncountable.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on 3–4 pairs to read their answers and writes correct forms on the board. T asks: 'Why do we say some water and not any water in I have some water?'
Students
Ss present their answers. Expected answer: 'We use some because it is an affirmative sentence.' Ss correct their own mistakes if they have any.
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T summarises: 'Some for affirmative, any for negative and questions; many for plural countable nouns, much for uncountable nouns; must for requirement, mustn't for prohibition.' T reminds Ss that mustn't is not the same as don't have to.
