I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
- Use the expressions 'Would you like to…?', 'Yes, I'd love to.' and 'Sorry, I can't. I have another plan.' to invite and accept or decline an invitation politely.
- Give a reason when refusing and respond to a different opinion without attacking the speaker.
- Use the vocabulary: leisure, be keen on, be fond of, hang out, craft kit, balance.
- Explain what a short model talk about leisure time communicates.

2. Competences

a) General competences

Self-control and independent learning: Ss prepare the key language from the model before the role-play and check their own sentences against the model text.
Communication and collaboration: Ss take turns in pairs and groups to invite, accept, decline and discuss leisure activities, listening before they respond.
Problem-solving and creativity: Ss adapt the invitation pattern to new leisure activities and repair a misunderstanding by asking a clarifying question.

b) Specific competences

Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss invite and respond to invitations in role-plays, read and explain a model talk, and write a short opening and closing for a talk about leisure time.
Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss pronounce the linking and intonation in the invitation pattern, use the five target words accurately in context, and form complete sentences instead of translating word order from Vietnamese.

3. Personal qualities

Kindness: Ss use a friendly tone when they decline an invitation and give a polite reason.
Responsibility: Ss keep private contact details out of role-plays and respect the classroom rules for sharing information.
