3. Personal qualities

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Understanding the Model Exchange

a) Aims

Ss understand the model exchange and the function of asking and answering about transport.

  • Mai: You are welcome.
    Questions: What is Alex asking about? What does Mai give in her answer? Is the distance necessary? What does Alex do after Mai answers?

c) Expected outcomes

  • Alex asks about transport: 'How do you get to school?'
  • Mai gives a means of transport: 'I walk.' and, as extra information, distance: 'It is about one kilometre from my home.'

    Students

    Ss read the exchange silently and note answers to the questions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T asks Ss to practise the exchange in pairs once, with Student A as Alex and Student B as Mai. T monitors and corrects pronunciation.

    Students

    Ss role-play the exchange in pairs. Possible answer to the question 'What does Mai give?': 'She gives the means of transport, walking, and the distance, one kilometre.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks two or three pairs to perform the exchange for the class and asks: 'Is the distance necessary?' T guides Ss to see that it is useful but optional.

    Students

    Ss perform the exchange and answer: 'The distance is useful, but it is not compulsory.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T summarises the key idea on the board: Give a means of transport and, if useful, distance. Ask a follow-up question without judging another person's circumstances. T reminds Ss that a reply must fit the question.

    Students

    Ss copy the key idea into their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 10 minutes

Choosing the Right Reply

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T explains the task and gives Worksheet 2 to each pair. T says: 'Work in pairs. Check your answers carefully. Each answer must fit the question.'

    Students

    Ss read the instructions and the questions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors and reminds Ss that a correct keyword does not make an irrelevant reply correct.

    Students

    Ss discuss and complete Worksheet 2. Possible reasoning: 'Option B is wrong because Alex asked a question, so the reply must answer it.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks individual Ss to give answers to each question and invites other Ss to agree or disagree.

    Students

    Ss report: 'Question 2 is A because I walk answers how Mai gets to school.' Other Ss respond: 'I agree.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    Ss check their answers and correct any mistakes in their notebooks.

Activity 4: Application · 10 minutes

Creating My Own Exchange

a) Aims

Ss create a new four-turn exchange about transport, using at least one topic word and responding meaningfully to their partner.

b) Content

In pairs, Ss create a new four-turn exchange about asking and answering about transport. The exchange must include at least one topic word (pavement, helmet, pedestrian, crossing, passenger or road sign). Ss change at least one detail from the model, for example the means of transport or the distance, so that the exchange shows their own meaning. Then they perform it for the class. Assessment criteria: communicative purpose (4 points), suitable response (3 points), topic language (2 points) and clear delivery (1 point).

c) Expected outcomes

Each pair produces one four-turn exchange with the required pattern, for example:

  • A: How do you get to school?
  • B: I ride a bike. It is about two kilometres from my home.
  • A: Thank you for explaining.
  • B: You are welcome.
    The exchange includes at least one topic word and matches the question. Ss use the four-turn pattern.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T explains the task and the assessment criteria on the board. T says: 'Create a new exchange with your partner. Use at least one topic word and change one detail.'

    Students

    Ss listen and ask questions if they are not sure about the task.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss five minutes to write and rehearse their exchanges. T helps weaker pairs with sentence patterns.

    Students

    Ss write and practise their new exchanges. Possible exchange: 'Q: How do you get to school? A: I go by bus. It is about three kilometres from my home.'

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three or four pairs to perform their exchange in front of the class. The listeners check whether the reply fits the question.

    Students

    Ss perform the exchanges. Listeners answer T: 'The reply fits the question.' or 'The second turn is missing a thanks.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T praises good performances, gives feedback on pronunciation and the suitability of replies, and summarises the lesson: give a means of transport and, if useful, distance.

    Students

    Ss note the feedback and the key structure in their notebooks.
