I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to use the vocabulary of the topic 'Cities of the world' (landmark, palace, postcard, tower, square, delicious, friendly, exciting) to complete the Skills 1 tasks.
By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to read a postcard for gist and for details, and match each question with a sentence in the text that gives evidence.
By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to tell the difference between what the writer says in the text and their own opinion, and speak briefly about the text from keyword notes.

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss read the text on their own first, underline the evidence and check their answers again before they report to the class.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to ask and answer questions, share keyword notes and give reasons for their choices.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss explain why they chose an answer by using context clues, and correct their own wrong answers after checking the text.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read a short postcard for gist and details, answer questions with evidence, and retell the text in their own words from keyword notes.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the eight topic words correctly in context and notice simple past and present forms in the postcard (walked, visited, watched; are, is, have, will go).

3. Personal qualities

Honesty: Ss clearly separate what the writer says in the postcard from their own ideas, and say 'In my life...' when they compare.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Speaking from notes and comparing with my own life

Ss retell the postcard in their own words using only keywords, give one opinion with a reason, and compare one detail with their own life.

Ss write keywords (not full sentences) for three points: topic, two important details, and one opinion with a reason. Then Ss tell a partner about the postcard in 40 to 60 seconds. Then they compare one detail with their own life and say clearly: 'In the text...' or 'In my life...'.
Sample keywords: Topic: family trip, Da Nang; Detail 1: hotel near river; Detail 2: old objects in museum; Opinion: old objects are interesting because they help imagine past.

Students
Ss listen and write their own keywords on a small sheet of paper for about two minutes.

Step 2: Task performance
T asks Ss to work in pairs. Partner A speaks first, then Partner B. T reminds: 'Say In the text when you talk about the postcard, and say In my life when you talk about yourself.'

Ss speak from their keywords. Expected sentence: 'The postcard is about a family visit to Da Nang. The hotel is near the river. I think the trip is special because they share a happy memory.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on three or four pairs to speak to the class. T gives feedback on the summary (main idea, details, reason) and on the use of 'In the text' and 'In my life'.
Students
Volunteers speak. For example: 'In the text, An likes the old objects. In my life, I like the beach because it is exciting.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T summarises the lesson in three points: find evidence in the text, speak from keywords, and separate the writer's ideas from your own ideas. T writes the key words from the Ghi nhớ on the board: 'Read with evidence; speak from notes with reasons.'
