I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Identify the main idea and specific details (names, places, times, reasons) in a listening text about travelling in the future.
    • Use the Future simple (will + base verb) to make predictions, including negative and question forms.
    • Distinguish possessive pronouns (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs) from possessive adjectives.
    • Write a 60–80-word description of an imagined future vehicle with a prediction, a benefit and an uncertainty.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss predict the content of the listening text, take short notes and check their own answers against the audio.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss brainstorm and share ideas in pairs and present their answers to the class.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss design an imagined future vehicle and explain its benefits and uncertainties in their own words.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen for main ideas and details about future travel, talk about future vehicles and write a 60–80-word description.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the vocabulary driverless, solar-powered, hyperloop, eco-friendly, autopilot and vehicle, and apply will for predictions and possessive pronouns correctly.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all listening tasks and the writing task on time, and revise their drafts after peer feedback.
  • Responsibility: Ss explain a careful, safe choice in the listening text, such as the safety tests the boat needs before use, and apply the same care to their own writing.
  • Honesty: Ss admit the uncertainty in their predictions and do not claim that a future service already exists.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Audio recording of the Skills 2 listening text (Exercises 1–6 and Exercise 7)
  • Projector or interactive board, board and markers
  • Slides with the unit title, the listening strategy, the Future simple and possessive pronoun charts, and the original model
  • NeoEdu lesson page for interactive lecture, examples and exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/7/english/unit-11-skills-2

2. Students

  • Student's book (Unit 11, Skills 2)
  • Notebook, pen and pencil
  • Worksheet 1 (listening notes) and Worksheet 2 (writing plan)
  • Headphones or a device to access NeoEdu (optional)

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Brainstorming future vehicles

a) Aims

Ss activate prior knowledge about vehicles and predict the topic of the lesson, Travelling in the future.

b) Content

Ss work in pairs to answer three questions:

  • What vehicles do you use today?
  • What do you think vehicles will be like in the future?
  • Which future vehicle would you like to travel in? Why?
    They use words such as driverless, solar-powered, eco-friendly and vehicle.

c) Expected outcomes

Each pair lists three current vehicles and at least one prediction, for example: 'Buses will run on solar power.' Possible answer to question 3: 'I would like a driverless bus because it is safe and comfortable.'

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the unit title Travelling in the future on the board and asks the three questions. T says: 'Today we will listen for ideas and details, then describe an imagined future vehicle.'

    Students

    Ss listen and look at the title and the questions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks pairs to brainstorm for two minutes and write their ideas in their notebooks.

    Students

    Pairs discuss and note down vehicles and predictions, for example: 'Cars will fly one day.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three pairs to share. T writes key words on the board and asks: 'Why do you think so?'

    Students

    Pairs report, for example: 'Future buses will be cleaner because they will use electricity.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises good ideas and introduces the lesson aims: listening for main ideas and details, using will for predictions, and writing a description of a future vehicle.

    Students

    Ss copy the lesson aims into their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Listening strategy: predict, listen and take notes

a) Aims

Ss understand and apply the three-step listening strategy: predict, listen for the main idea, then listen again for details.

b) Content

T introduces the new vocabulary with Vietnamese meanings:

  • driverless (không người lái)
  • solar-powered (chạy bằng năng lượng mặt trời)
  • hyperloop (hệ thống tàu ống tốc độ cao)
  • eco-friendly (thân thiện môi trường)
  • autopilot (chế độ lái tự động)
  • vehicle (phương tiện)
    Ss follow the strategy: predict the topic from Travelling in the future, listen for the activity and reason, then listen again for names, times and places and take short notes in Worksheet 1.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss' notes in Worksheet 1 under five headings:

  • Who: Tuan
  • What: designing a future boat
  • Where: school science club
  • When: this month
  • Why: he wants a quieter way to cross the river

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T shows the listening strategy on the slide and gives Worksheet 1. T asks: 'What is the topic before you listen?'

    Students

    Ss read the strategy and answer: 'The topic is Travelling in the future.'

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T plays the audio once and asks Ss to listen for the main activity and reason only. T plays the audio again and pauses to let Ss note names, places and times.

    Students

    Ss listen and write short notes under the five headings in Worksheet 1.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'Who is the main person? What is he doing? Where? When? Why?' and calls on individual Ss.

    Students

    Ss answer, for example: 'The main person is Tuan. He is designing a future boat at the school science club this month.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers and stresses the strategy: a prediction is a guess to be checked; the exact detail must come from the audio.

    Students

    Ss write the strategy in one sentence: 'Predict, listen for the main idea, then listen for details.'

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 7 minutes

Will for predictions and possessive pronouns

a) Aims

Ss form and use the Future simple with will for predictions and distinguish possessive pronouns from possessive adjectives.

b) Content

T presents the grammar on the slide:

  • Affirmative: will + base verb (for predictions and decisions)
  • Negative: will not / won't + base verb
  • Question: Will + subject + base verb?
  • Caution: 'Some buses may become driverless' is more cautious than 'Every bus will change.'
  • Possessive pronouns stand alone: 'This bicycle is hers.'
  • Possessive adjectives need a noun: 'her bicycle.'
    T gives the example: 'I think future buses ___ cleaner.' and asks Ss to complete it.

c) Expected outcomes

Key knowledge Ss record in their notebooks:

  • Ss complete the example: 'I think future buses will be cleaner.' (Will is followed by the base verb be.)
  • Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs (no noun after them)
  • Possessive adjectives: my, your, his, her, our, their (a noun after them)

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the example sentence on the board and asks Ss to think of the correct form.

    Students

    Ss read the example and think about the verb form.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T presents the charts. T asks: 'Is the verb after will in the base form or the past form?' and 'Is there a noun after hers?'

    Students

    Ss copy the charts and answer, for example: 'The verb is in the base form. There is no noun after hers.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on Ss to make one prediction with will and one negative, for example: 'Cars will not need drivers.'

    Students

    Ss say their sentences. Expected answers: 'Buses will be quieter.' and 'These keys are hers, not mine.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the forms and reminds Ss that predictions are not proven facts.

    Students

    Ss write the rule in their notebooks: 'Will + base verb; possessive pronoun = no noun after it.'

Activity 2.3: Knowledge formation · 5 minutes

Analysing the original model

a) Aims

Ss identify the prediction, benefit and uncertainty in a model and plan their own description.

b) Content

Ss read the original model silently: 'I imagine a small electric bus for our town. It will use a route planned by the transport centre, and passengers will book a seat with help at a local stop. The bus will be quieter than many old vehicles. It will still need safe crossings and careful testing. I do not know when such a system will be affordable. It is an idea, not a description of an existing service.' Ss complete the planning section of Worksheet 2.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss' answers in Worksheet 2:

  • Prediction with will: 'It will use a route planned by the transport centre.'
  • Benefit: 'The bus will be quieter than many old vehicles.'
  • Uncertainty: 'I do not know when such a system will be affordable.'
  • Plan: who = a small electric bus; what = a route and booking; where = our town; when = future; useful detail = quiet engine

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T gives Worksheet 2 and asks Ss to read the model silently and underline three things: a prediction with will, a benefit and an uncertainty.

    Students

    Ss read and underline the sentences.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around and checks. T asks: 'Which sentence shows the bus is only an idea?'

    Students

    Ss work individually and complete the planning section of Worksheet 2.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on two Ss to read their underlined sentences aloud.

    Students

    Ss answer, for example: 'The bus will be quieter. That is the benefit.' and 'I do not know when it will be affordable. That is the uncertainty.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the three elements and says: 'A model is one possible answer, not the only key.'

    Students

    Ss copy the three-part structure: prediction, benefit, uncertainty.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

    Students

    Ss share answers, for example: 'Number 4 is A because the audio says this month.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answer key, explains the mistake in Exercise 6b, and reminds Ss that will + base verb is used in predictions.

    Students

    Ss correct their mistakes and write the correct sentence in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Describing my imagined future vehicle

a) Aims

Ss write a 60–80-word description of an imagined future vehicle using will, naming one benefit and admitting one uncertainty.
