Giáo án Review 1 – Language

Ss activate prior knowledge of vocabulary and the meanings of the key words from Units 1, 2 and 3.

Ss play a quick word-chain game in teams. T says a word and Ss give its Vietnamese meaning or an English synonym. Target words: patient, hobby, avoid, healthy, donate, shelter, collection point. Each team member must say one word in turn.

Ss recall the meanings: patient (kiên nhẫn); hobby (sở thích); avoid (tránh); healthy (lành mạnh); donate (quyên góp, tặng); shelter (nơi trú ẩn); collection point (điểm thu gom).

Ss systematise the present simple (Unit 1), simple sentences (Unit 2) and past simple (Unit 3), and explain the common mistakes.

Ss complete Worksheet 1 in pairs. The worksheet has three parts: (1) complete the present simple table with examples such as 'Mai makes models on Sundays' and 'enjoy making models'; (2) identify simple sentences, for example 'Mai and Nam walk to school' and 'Do not join unrelated clauses with just a comma'; (3) form the past simple: study→studied, go→went, give→gave, make→made, and the negative did not + base verb. Ss look at the wrong sentence 'They did not collected' and correct it.

Ss complete Worksheet 1 with these key points:

• Present simple: I/you/we/they + base verb; he/she/it + verb-s/es; negative do not/does not + base verb; questions begin Do/Does; use it for habits, facts and timetables.
• After enjoy, use the -ing form: enjoy making models.
• Simple sentence: one main clause, for example 'We exercise', 'Mai drinks water', 'She is active'.
• Past simple: regular verbs add -ed (study→studied); irregular forms go→went, give→gave, make→made; negative did not + base verb; question Did + subject + base verb?
• Correction: 'They did not collected' → 'They did not collect'.

Ss identify the final sound of regular -ed verbs and pronounce /t/, /d/ and /ɪd/ correctly.

T models the words helped, played, wanted and needed. Ss listen, repeat and sort the words into three columns on Worksheet 2: /t/ (after voiceless sounds except /t/), /d/ (after voiced sounds except /d/), /ɪd/ (after /t/ or /d/). Ss also feel the vibration of /v/ in van and the lack of vibration in /f/ in fan.

Ss complete Worksheet 2:

• /t/: helped, asked, stopped (voiceless final sound)
• /d/: played, lived, enjoyed (voiced final sound)
• /ɪd/: wanted, needed, donated (final sound /t/ or /d/; this ending adds one syllable)
  Key rule: It is the final sound, not the final letter, that decides the pronunciation.

Ss use the key words patient, hobby, avoid, healthy and donate in simple sentences.

Ss read four short sentences and choose the correct key word for each gap. Example: 'My ___ is making paper models.' (hobby) and 'Try to ___ eating too much sugar.' (avoid). Ss then give one new sentence for each word.

Ss complete the sentences: 'My hobby is making paper models.' 'Try to avoid junk food and eat healthy meals.' 'We need to be patient when we learn a new skill.' 'Last Saturday we donated books to a shelter.' Meanings: hobby (sở thích); avoid (tránh); healthy (lành mạnh); patient (kiên nhẫn); donate (quyên góp).

Ss apply the present simple, simple sentence and past simple rules to select the correct answer, and explain each correction.

Ss do the review exercises from the lesson book (Exercises 1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10) on NeoEdu or on paper. Ss first identify the intended meaning and the time, then choose the form. After each answer, Ss explain the reason in one sentence. Exercise 1: Mai ___ small boats every Sunday. A. making B. made C. makes D. make. Exercise 2: My friends ___ collect coins. A. not does B. do not C. does not D. is not. Exercise 5: Choose a complete simple sentence. A. My brother well. B. My brother sleeps well. C. Because my brother sleeps. D. In the evening. Exercise 6: Mai and Lan ___ active. A. are B. is C. am D. be. Exercise 9: Last Saturday we ___ books to a shelter. A. donated B. donate C. donates D. donating. Exercise 10: Mai ___ to the collection point yesterday. A. go B. goes C. going D. went.

Answer key with reasons:

• Exercise 1: C. makes – Mai is singular; a repeated habit takes makes.
• Exercise 2: B. do not – plural subject uses do not + base verb.
• Exercise 5: B. My brother sleeps well. – a subject and a finite verb form a complete main clause.
• Exercise 6: A. are – two people form a plural subject.
• Exercise 9: A. donated – last Saturday is a finished past time; donate → donated.
• Exercise 10: D. went – past form of go.
  Teacher note: 'They did not collected' is wrong because did already carries past time, so the verb stays in base form.

Ss apply the present simple, simple sentences, the key vocabulary and the health advice pattern to write a short personal text connected to real life.

Ss choose one task. Task A: Describe a hobby you do regularly in 60–80 words. Include its name, when you do it, the materials and one benefit. Task B: Write 60–80 words giving safe daily health advice to a friend. Include sleep, food and outdoor protection; do not diagnose an illness. Ss may use the sample texts as models but must write their own sentences. Ss who finish early exchange their text with a partner and check the verb forms.

A 60–80-word paragraph using the present simple, at least one simple sentence with a clear subject and verb, and the key words hobby, patient, healthy or avoid.
Sample for Task A: 'My hobby is making paper models. I make them on Sunday afternoons. I need clean paper, glue and a ruler. My sister sometimes helps me measure the parts. We do not buy expensive materials. I enjoy turning old boxes into useful toys. This hobby teaches me to be patient and to follow a plan.'
Sample for Task B: 'You can build healthy habits step by step. Eat regular meals with different vegetables and drink water. Walk or play a suitable sport each day. Go to bed at a regular time instead of using your phone late at night. Wear a hat in strong sunlight. If you feel unwell for a long time, tell an adult and ask a health professional for help.'
