Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Hobby Talk

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about hobbies and get ready to use the question 'What do you enjoy doing?'.

b) Content

T asks Ss to think about one thing they enjoy doing in their free time and to answer the question 'What do you enjoy doing?' with a partner. Ss then share one answer with the class.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss give at least one short answer in the form 'I enjoy + V-ing' (for example, 'I enjoy reading'). T writes the title 'Hobbies' on the board as the unit topic.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the question 'What do you enjoy doing?' on the board and says: 'Think about your free time. What do you enjoy doing?' T gives 1 minute to think.

    Students

    Ss listen and think silently about their own free-time activity.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to turn to a partner and ask the question. T walks around and listens to pairs.

    Students

    Ss ask and answer in pairs. Possible answers: 'I enjoy reading.', 'I enjoy playing football.', 'I enjoy listening to music.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 3–4 Ss to share their partner's answer, for example: 'Minh enjoys drawing.'

    Students

    Ss report what their partner enjoys doing. Other Ss listen and repeat the answer.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T says: 'Today we talk about hobbies. A hobby is an activity you enjoy in your free time.' T writes the title 'Unit 1: Hobbies – Getting Started' on the board.

    Students

    Ss copy the title into their notebooks and note the new topic.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Topic Words

a) Aims

Ss recognise and understand the meaning of the six topic words and use them in context.

b) Content

T presents the words gardening, collect, model, creative, patient and hobby with their Vietnamese meanings: gardening (làm vườn), collect (sưu tầm), model (mô hình), creative (sáng tạo), patient (kiên nhẫn), hobby (sở thích). T then reads the sentence 'I enjoy gardening because I can watch plants grow.' and asks Ss to find the topic word in the sentence.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write the six words with their meanings in their notebooks. Ss identify 'gardening' in the sentence 'I enjoy gardening because I can watch plants grow.' and say 'gardening means làm vườn'.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the word bank and asks: 'Look at these six words. Which word means làm vườn?' T gives Ss 1 minute to read the words silently.

    Students

    Ss read the six words silently and guess the meanings they know.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T reads each word aloud, models pronunciation, and asks Ss to repeat in chorus and then individually. T asks Ss to find 'gardening' in the sentence 'I enjoy gardening because I can watch plants grow.'

    Students

    Ss repeat each word and copy the meaning into their notebooks. Ss find 'gardening' in the sentence and answer: 'gardening means làm vườn.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks questions: 'Which word means sưu tầm?' 'Which word means sáng tạo?' 'Which word means kiên nhẫn?' T checks answers with the class.

    Students

    Ss answer: 'collect' (sưu tầm), 'creative' (sáng tạo), 'patient' (kiên nhẫn). The class checks and corrects together.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises: 'These six words are the topic language of hobbies. Use them with the question and a reason.' T points to the NeoEdu page for extra listening and reading practice at home.

    Students

    Ss复 check their notebooks and write one example sentence using a topic word.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Opening Exchange

a) Aims

Ss understand the structure of the opening exchange: a question about likes, a reason, and a reply to thanks.

b) Content

T shows the original dialogue on the slide:
Alex: What do you enjoy doing?
Mai: I enjoy gardening because I can watch plants grow.
Alex: Thank you for explaining.
Mai: You are welcome.
T asks Ss to identify who asks, what information is needed, and how the partner replies. T explains the key idea: 'Ask about the activity, then give a reason; respect a different interest.'

c) Expected outcomes

Ss can state: (1) Alex asks about Mai's likes; (2) Mai gives the activity and a reason with 'because'; (3) Alex thanks Mai and Mai replies 'You are welcome.' Ss copy the key idea: 'Ask about the activity, then give a reason; respect a different interest.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T asks Ss to read the dialogue silently and answer: 'Who asks the question? What does Mai give after the question?'

    Students

    Ss read the dialogue silently and think about the answers.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks pairs to read the dialogue aloud, switching roles. T monitors pronunciation of 'enjoy', 'gardening' and 'because'.

    Students

    Ss practise the dialogue in pairs twice, switching roles each time.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'What does the word because do in Mai's sentence?' and 'What does Mai say after Alex says thank you?'

    Students

    Ss answer: 'because' introduces the reason (I can watch plants grow). Mai answers 'You are welcome.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T writes the pattern on the board: 'What do you enjoy doing?' → 'I enjoy + V-ing because + reason.' T stresses: 'A useful reply must fit the question, not merely contain a familiar word.'

    Students

    Ss copy the pattern and the key idea into their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Quick Check

a) Aims

Ss check their understanding of the topic words, the purpose of the question and the order of the dialogue.

    Students

    Ss receive Worksheet 1 and read the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors and helps Ss who are stuck. T notes common mistakes, for example the wrong order of the dialogue.

    Students

    Ss complete the worksheet individually. Then they compare answers with their partner and correct each other.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on individual Ss to read answers aloud, for example: 'Question 2?' 'Question 6, part b?' T asks the class to agree or disagree.

    Students

    Ss give answers. Possible answer: 'Question 6b is False because Mai answers after Alex asks.' Other Ss confirm.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T gives the final key and emphasises: 'The correct keyword does not make an irrelevant response correct. Use the complete context.'

    Students

    Ss check their worksheets, correct mistakes in a different colour and keep the worksheet.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

My Hobby Exchange

a) Aims

Ss use the topic language to create and perform their own four-turn exchange about likes and reasons.

b) Content

Ss work in pairs to create a new four-turn exchange about hobbies, following the pattern of the opening dialogue. The exchange must include at least one topic word (gardening, collect, model, creative, patient or hobby) and a reply that fits the question. Ss then perform the exchange in front of the class.
Sample pattern:
A: What do you enjoy doing?
B: I enjoy ... because ...
A: Thank you for explaining.
B: You are welcome.

c) Expected outcomes

Each pair writes and performs one new four-turn exchange. Example: 'Nam: What do you enjoy doing? Lan: I enjoy collecting stamps because I can learn about other countries. Nam: Thank you for explaining. Lan: You are welcome.' (Ss' exchanges may vary; check that each reply fits the question and includes a reason.)

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Work with your partner. Write a new four-turn exchange about hobbies. Use one topic word and give a reason with because.' T shows the sample pattern on the board.

    Students

    Ss listen to the instructions and read the sample pattern.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives 5 minutes for pairs to write and practise. T checks that each reply fits the question and that the reason is clear.

    Students

    Ss write their exchange, check the topic words and practise reading it aloud.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites 2–3 pairs to perform in front of the class and asks the audience: 'Does the reply fit the question? Which topic word did they use?'

    Students

    Pairs perform. Listeners answer: 'Yes, the reply fits the question. They used the word collect.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises good exchanges and gives feedback on pronunciation and the use of because. T repeats the key idea: 'Ask about the activity, then give a reason; respect a different interest.'

    Students

    Ss note the key idea in their notebooks and write the best exchange in their notebooks.
