I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- Pronounce and recognise the six topic words: sunburn, acne, dim light, active, avoid, healthy.
- Explain the meaning of each word in Vietnamese and use it in a useful phrase or sentence about healthy living.
- Distinguish the sounds /f/ and /v/ in words such as fan, van, leaf and leave.

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss cover the English side of the word cards and recall the meaning on their own before checking.

Problem-solving and creativity: Ss build their own sentences about healthy living using the target words and explain their meaning.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss listen to the recording of acne, read the word cards, speak about healthy habits, and write two meaningful sentences.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce /f/ and /v/ correctly, use the six topic words accurately, and form complete sentences with a subject and a finite verb.

3. Personal qualities

Diligence: Ss practise the pronunciation of /f/ and /v/ repeatedly until the vibration in the throat is clear.
Responsibility: Ss complete their vocabulary notes and their writing task on time and check their own answers carefully.
Honesty: Ss report their own answers and their own pronunciation honestly, without copying from a partner.

Students' activities

Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T shows the five pictures on the screen and asks Ss to decide in pairs whether each situation is healthy or unhealthy.

Ss look at the pictures and listen to the instructions. They prepare to talk with a partner.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T walks around, listens to pairs and prompts with questions such as 'Why do you think so?'
Students
Ss discuss in pairs. Possible answers: 'The beach is unhealthy because strong sunlight can cause sunburn.' 'Reading in dim light is unhealthy because it hurts your eyes.' 'Playing football is healthy because it makes you active.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T invites some pairs to share their answers and asks the class: 'Do you agree?'
Students
Two or three pairs report their answers. The class gives comments, for example: 'I agree, fast food is not healthy.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

Students
Ss write the title of the lesson in their notebooks: Unit 2 - A Closer Look 1.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 12 minutes

Vocabulary: Words in Context

a) Aims

Ss understand the meaning, pronunciation and use of six topic words in a useful phrase.

sunburn (cháy nắng): get sunburn after a long day at the beach
acne (mụn trứng cá): have acne on the face
dim light (ánh sáng yếu): read in dim light
active (năng động): be active every day
avoid (tránh): avoid junk food

d) Organisation

Teacher's activities

Students' activities

Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T shows the word cards one by one and asks Ss to repeat the word, the meaning and the phrase. T says: 'Cover the English side and recall the word.'
Students
Ss listen, repeat chorally and then individually. They cover the English side of their own notes and try to recall each word.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T asks: 'What does acne mean? Can you use dim light in a sentence?' T guides Ss to build a message such as 'I avoid junk food because I want to be healthy.'
Students
Ss work in pairs, quiz each other with the cards, and write one or two sentences in their notebooks. Possible answer: 'I try to be active every day and avoid reading in dim light.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on four or five Ss to say their messages aloud and checks the meaning and spelling of the target words.
Students
Ss read their messages aloud. Other Ss listen and check whether the target word is used correctly.
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T summarises the six words, stresses that each word must be used with its own meaning, not with a similar-looking word, and writes the key phrases on the board.
Students
Ss copy the summary into their notebooks: sunburn - cháy nắng; acne - mụn trứng cá; dim light - ánh sáng yếu; active - năng động; avoid - tránh; healthy - lành mạnh.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

Pronunciation: /f/ and /v/

a) Aims

Ss produce and distinguish the voiceless /f/ and the voiced /v/ in minimal pairs.

b) Content

T demonstrates the articulation: for /f/, air passes between the lower lip and upper teeth without voice (fan); for /v/, the same position is used with voice (van). T asks Ss to touch their throat and feel the vibration in van. T also introduces the final sounds in leaf (/f/) and leave (/v/).

c) Expected outcomes

Ss pronounce fan with no vibration in the throat and van with vibration. Ss identify that leaf ends with /f/ and leave ends with /v/. Ss read the minimal pairs fan - van and leaf - leave correctly.

d) Organisation

Teacher's activities

Students' activities

Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T models: 'Listen and repeat: fan - van, leaf - leave.' T asks Ss to put their hand on their throat.
Students
Ss listen carefully, touch their throat and feel the vibration when the sound is voiced.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T calls out words in random order and asks Ss to raise a hand for /f/ or /v/ or to show the sound with a gesture.
Students
Ss repeat the words in chorus and then individually. Ss respond with the correct sound, for example: 'van: /v/, the throat vibrates.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T corrects mistakes, especially the vibration in /v/ and the final sound in leaf and leave, and asks a few Ss to read the pairs aloud.
Students
Two or three Ss read the minimal pairs aloud. The class checks whether the sound is correct.
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T summarises: 'For /f/ keep the air out, no voice. For /v/ use the same lip position, with voice.'
Students
Ss note the key point in their notebooks: fan /f/ - van /v/; leaf /f/ - leave /v/.

Activity 3.2: Practice · 6 minutes

Listening and Sound Contrast

a) Aims

Ss identify the word they hear and apply the /f/ and /v/ contrast when reading aloud.

Model sentences: 'Strong sunlight can cause sunburn, so I wear a hat outdoors.' 'I avoid reading in dim light because it makes the page difficult to see.'

c) Expected outcomes

Each S writes two complete sentences with a subject and a finite verb, for example: 'I wear a hat so I do not get sunburn.' 'I avoid reading in dim light because my eyes get tired.' Ss give a short explanation: sunburn means damage to skin from the sun; dim light means weak lighting.
