- give a specific compliment, accept it politely and recognise the team in a four-turn exchange.

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss work on the vocabulary and dialogue tasks alone first, check their own answers against the model, and correct their mistakes before sharing.
Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs to read the model dialogue, discuss the answers and co-create a new exchange, listening to their partner and responding to what the partner says.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss choose a suitable reply that fits the context of each compliment and change a detail of the model to express their own meaning.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss read and listen to the opening exchange, identify the function of each turn, and produce a short exchange giving and responding to a compliment about a community activity.
Language knowledge (vocabulary, expressions): Ss understand and use the topic words and the expressions Thank you, Everyone helped, Thank you for explaining and You are welcome in appropriate contexts.

3. Personal qualities

Kindness: Ss show appreciation for other people's contributions to the community by giving sincere compliments to their classmates.
Responsibility: Ss complete their pair tasks on time, respect their partner's ideas and take responsibility for the final version of their exchange.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Understanding the opening exchange

a) Aims

Ss understand the structure and the communicative purpose of the model dialogue and how to respond to a compliment.

b) Content

Ss read and listen to the model dialogue. Ss answer the questions: a) Does Alex ask a question? b) Does Mai answer before Alex speaks? c) Does Alex thank Mai? (Exercise 6). Ss put the lines of the conversation in the correct order (Exercise 7).

Students
Ss discuss in pairs. A possible discussion: 'Alex does not ask a question. He makes a statement, so the answer is False.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T calls on pairs to give their answers and asks: Why does Mai say Everyone helped? T guides Ss to see that Mai shares the credit with the team.
Students
Ss answer, for example: 'Mai says Everyone helped because she wants to thank the whole team, not only herself.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T confirms the answers and highlights the key point: Give a specific compliment, accept it politely and recognise the team rather than dismissing the speaker. T writes the key expressions on the board.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Choosing the right reply

a) Aims

Ss choose the correct reply that fits a compliment and identify the communicative purpose of a turn.

b) Content

Ss do Exercise 2: What communicative purpose does Mai's first reply serve? A. accepting a compliment; B. asking for a reason; C. making a suggestion; D. expressing a preference. Ss do Exercise 3: Which reply fits Alex's opening statement? A. Thank you. Everyone helped.; B. I cannot answer because you did not ask a question.; C. Thank you for the birthday present.; D. The missing bag is blue. Ss can also check their work on the NeoEdu interactive exercises.

c) Expected outcomes

Exercise 2: A (Mai accepts the compliment with thanks and shares the credit with the team). Exercise 3: A (Thank you. Everyone helped. gives a suitable reply that accepts the compliment and recognises the team). Key note: a correct keyword does not make an irrelevant response correct; use the complete context.

d) Organisation

Teacher's activities

Students' activities

Teacher
Step 1: Task delivering
T displays Exercises 2 and 3 on the board or on the NeoEdu page. T reads the questions and options aloud.
Students
Ss read the options silently and note the key words in the question.
Teacher
Step 2: Task performance
T asks Ss to answer individually first and then compare with a partner. T reminds Ss: Look at the whole context, not only one familiar word.
Students
Ss choose their answers, then explain to their partner. For example: 'Option C is about a birthday present, so it does not fit a compliment about a team.'
Teacher
Step 3: Report and discussion
T asks several Ss to give their answers and reasons. T asks: Why is option B wrong in Exercise 3?
Students
Ss answer, for example: 'Option B is wrong because Alex makes a statement, not a question, so the reply does not fit.'
Teacher
Step 4: Conclusion and assessment
T confirms: Exercise 2 is A and Exercise 3 is A. T emphasises the common mistake: a keyword alone does not make a reply correct.
Students
Ss correct their answers and write the answers and the reason for each in their notebook.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Creating a compliment exchange

a) Aims

Ss create a new four-turn exchange giving and responding to a compliment about community service, using at least one topic word.

c) Expected outcomes

A four-turn exchange, for example: Speaker A: Your class did a great job collecting rubbish at the park. Speaker B: Thank you. Everyone worked hard. Speaker A: Thank you for organising the event.
