I. Objectives

1. Knowledge

  • By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to:
    • Explain the difference between suggest, recommend and advise in terms of their structures.
    • Use suggest and recommend with V-ing or with a that-clause using should.
    • Use advise with V-ing, a should-clause or object + to-infinitive, and avoid the error 'suggest you to check'.
    • Apply these patterns to build accurate sentences giving advice about electronic devices.

2. Competences

a) General competences

  • Self-control and independent learning: Ss check their own answers against the worked examples and correct their mistakes before reporting.
  • Communication and collaboration: Ss work in pairs and groups to discuss patterns, peer-check answers and give feedback politely.
  • Problem-solving and creativity: Ss identify the intended meaning first, choose the correct structure, and create original recommendations about a device.

b) Specific competences

  • Communicative competence in English through listening, speaking, reading and writing: Ss give and respond to advice orally and write two original recommendations about a device.
  • Language knowledge (pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar): Ss use the vocabulary device, portable, touchscreen, battery life and the patterns suggest/recommend/advise + V-ing, should-clause and object + to-infinitive accurately.

3. Personal qualities

  • Diligence: Ss complete all exercises on time and check their work carefully against the rules.
  • Responsibility: Ss take responsibility for their group task and make sure every member can explain the answers.
  • Honesty: Ss admit their own errors, such as using 'suggest you to', and correct them openly.
  • Kindness: Ss give constructive, respectful feedback to classmates when peer-checking sentences.

II. Teaching aids and materials

1. Teacher

  • Projector or interactive board with the lesson slides
  • Worksheet 1 and answer key (printed or displayed)
  • Whiteboard and markers
  • NeoEdu lesson page with interactive exercises: neoedu.vn/learn/9/english/unit-11-a-closer-look-2

2. Students

  • Student's book English 9 (Global Success), Unit 11
  • Notebook, pen, pencil
  • Mini whiteboards and markers (for the practice game)

III. Procedures

Activity 1: Warm-up · 5 minutes

Guess the Structure

a) Aims

Ss recall how they give advice in English and get ready for the target structures of the lesson.

b) Content

T shows four sentences on the board, each with a blank:

  • I ___ you to turn off your phone at night. (advise)
  • I ___ reading the instructions before using the device. (suggest)
  • I ___ that you should charge your device fully. (recommend)
  • I ___ you ___ the settings. (advise, object + to-infinitive)
    Ss guess the missing verb forms and say why they fit.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss identify that suggest and recommend are followed by V-ing or that + should, and that advise can also take an object + to-infinitive. Ss predict that the lesson is about the forms after these verbs.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the four sentences on the board and asks: 'Which verb form fits each blank? Work quickly and be ready to explain.'

    Students

    Ss read the sentences silently and think about the verb forms they know.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T gives Ss 1 minute to discuss with a partner and guess the answers.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs and write their guesses in their notebooks.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T calls on 3 or 4 pairs to give answers and asks: 'What do you notice about the words after suggest, recommend and advise?'

    Students

    Ss answer, e.g. 'After suggest we use checking.' 'After recommend we use that you should.' 'Advise can take to + verb.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the answers: checking, should, recommend, to check. T says: 'Today we will learn when to use V-ing, that + should, and to-infinitive with these verbs.'

    Students

    Ss copy the title of the lesson and write the date in their notebooks.

Activity 2.1: Knowledge formation · 10 minutes

Meaning and Form of Suggest, Recommend and Advise

a) Aims

Ss understand the meaning and the structures of suggest, recommend and advise.

b) Content

T presents the language focus with the examples:

  • I suggest checking the settings.
  • I recommend that you should back up your work.
  • I advise you to check.
    Ss complete a chart in pairs with three columns: verb, structure, example. Ss then note the rule: Do not use 'suggest you to check'.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss complete the chart as follows:

  • suggest: + V-ing (I suggest checking the settings.); + that-clause with should (I suggest that you should check the settings.)
  • recommend: + V-ing (I recommend backing up your work.); + that-clause with should (I recommend that you should back up your work.)
  • advise: + V-ing (I advise checking the settings.); + that-clause with should (I advise that you should check the settings.); + object + to-infinitive (I advise you to check.)
    Ss conclude: Suggest and recommend do not take object + to-infinitive, so 'I suggest you to check' is wrong.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T displays the three example sentences and says: 'Work in pairs. Find the structure after each verb and complete the chart on your handout or in your notebook.'

    Students

    Ss read the examples and listen to the task instructions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T moves around the class, checks pairs and gives hints such as 'Look at the word after the verb' or 'Which verb can take to + verb?'

    Students

    Ss discuss in pairs and fill in the chart. Expected answer: suggest and recommend take V-ing or should-clauses; advise takes V-ing, should-clauses or object + to-infinitive.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'Why can we not say I suggest you to check?' and invites one pair to present the chart.

    Students

    A pair reports the chart. A student answers: 'Suggest does not take object + to-infinitive. Only advise can do that.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T writes the key structures on the board and reads the rule aloud: 'Suggest and recommend: V-ing or that + should. Advise: V-ing, that + should, or object + to + verb. Do not use suggest you to check.' Ss repeat the pattern chorally twice.

    Students

    Ss copy the summary into their notebooks and repeat the sentences after T.

Activity 2.2: Knowledge formation · 8 minutes

From Rule to Accurate Use

a) Aims

Ss apply a step-by-step method to choose the correct form in new sentences.

b) Content

T models Worked example 1: I suggest {{1}} the settings. (check). T shows the steps: (1) identify the intended meaning, (2) identify the subject and verb pattern, (3) choose the form.
Ss then complete Worksheet 1 in pairs, using Worked example 2: Choose the correct advice: A. I suggest you to rest. B. I suggest resting. C. I suggest rest you. D. I suggest to resting.
After that, Ss explain their reasoning and say why the other options are wrong.

c) Expected outcomes

Ss write the completed sentence I suggest checking the settings. (suggest + V-ing) and choose B. I suggest resting. Ss explain: 'Suggest takes V-ing, not object + to.' Ss also explain why A, C and D are wrong: A uses object + to after suggest, C has an incorrect word order, D uses to + V-ing after suggest.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Start with the intended meaning, then identify the subject and verb pattern. Use Worksheet 1 with your partner.' T distributes Worksheet 1.

    Students

    Ss receive Worksheet 1 and read the instructions.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T monitors and supports pairs who are stuck. T may ask: 'What is the verb pattern after suggest?' Pairs who finish early can check their answers on the NeoEdu lesson page.

    Students

    Ss work in pairs to complete the worksheet and write one reason for each answer.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites two pairs to share their answers for Worked example 2 and asks: 'Why is A wrong?'

    Students

    Ss answer: 'A is wrong because suggest does not take object + to-infinitive.' 'D is wrong because suggest takes V-ing, not to + verb.'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms: Worked example 1 - checking; Worked example 2 - B. T emphasises that Ss should apply the rule to new sentences, not only memorise the answer.

    Students

    Ss correct their worksheets and write the three steps of the method in their notebooks.

Activity 3: Practice · 14 minutes

Mini-Whiteboard Race

a) Aims

Ss practise choosing and writing the correct structures with suggest, recommend and advise.

b) Content

Ss complete the following exercises individually, then check in pairs:

  1. I suggest {{1}} the settings. (check)
  2. Choose the correct advice. A. I suggest you to rest. B. I suggest resting. C. I suggest rest you. D. I suggest to resting.
  3. She recommends that we {{1}} a backup. (should keep / keeping)
  4. The teacher advised us ___ our passwords. A. protecting to B. to protect C. protects D. protected
  5. Build the recommendation using: I recommend / turning off / unnecessary / notifications.
  6. Check the forms: a) I suggest using a stronger password. b) I suggest you to use a stronger password. Mark each as correct (Đ) or incorrect (S), then fix the incorrect one.

c) Expected outcomes

Answer key:

  1. checking (suggest + V-ing)
  2. B. I suggest resting. (suggest takes V-ing, not object + to)
  3. should keep (recommend + that-clause with should)
  4. B. to protect (advise + object + to-infinitive)
  5. I recommend turning off unnecessary notifications. (recommend + V-ing)
  6. a) Đ; b) S. Correct: I suggest using a stronger password. / I suggest that you should use a stronger password.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T writes the six exercises on the board and says: 'Write your answers on your mini whiteboard. Show them when I say Go. Then check with your partner.'

    Students

    Ss read the exercises and prepare their mini whiteboards.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T says Go for each item, gives 30 seconds per item, and then asks pairs to check each other's answers.

    Students

    Ss write and hold up their answers. Expected difficulties: item 6b, where Ss may not see the error in 'suggest you to'. Ss check each other and correct errors.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T asks: 'Who got item 6 right? Why is b wrong?' and calls on volunteers for items 5 and 6.

    Students

    Ss answer: 'Item 5: I recommend turning off unnecessary notifications.' 'Item 6b is wrong because suggest does not take object + to-infinitive. It should be I suggest using...'

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T confirms the key and highlights the common error: 'Suggest you to' is wrong. T encourages Ss to check whether the verb takes V-ing, should or to + verb before writing.

    Students

    Ss correct any wrong answers in their notebooks. Ss who want extra practice can do the interactive exercises on the NeoEdu page.

Activity 4: Application · 8 minutes

Recommending a Device

a) Aims

Ss use the target structures to give original advice about an electronic device in a real situation.

b) Content

Ss complete exercises 7 and 8:
7. Rewrite using suggest: Let us check the privacy settings.
8. Give two recommendations about a device, one with V-ing and one with a should-clause.
After writing, Ss exchange their recommendations with a partner and read each other's sentences aloud. Partners check the target structures and the meaning.
Topic example: your phone, tablet, laptop or portable charger, with the vocabulary device, portable, touchscreen and battery life.

c) Expected outcomes

Model answers:
7. I suggest checking the privacy settings. / I suggest that we should check the privacy settings.
8. I recommend backing up your notes. / I suggest that you should turn off unnecessary alerts.
Any original sentences are acceptable if they use the correct structures and convey a clear recommendation about a device, for example: I recommend using a portable charger when you travel. Ss should translate ideas as whole phrases, not word by word.

d) Organisation

  1. Teacher

    Step 1: Task delivering

    T says: 'Rewrite the sentence in exercise 7. Then write two recommendations about a device you use, one with V-ing and one with should. Use the words device, portable, touchscreen or battery life if you can.'

    Students

    Ss read the tasks and think about a device they know well.

  2. Teacher

    Step 2: Task performance

    T walks around, helps Ss with vocabulary and reminds them to check the verb pattern. Ss who finish early write a third recommendation using advise.

    Students

    Ss write their sentences individually, then read them to a partner. Partners check the structure and give feedback.

  3. Teacher

    Step 3: Report and discussion

    T invites three or four Ss to read their recommendations aloud and asks the class: 'Is the structure correct? Is the advice clear?'

    Students

    Ss read sentences such as 'I recommend backing up your notes.' Classmates answer 'Yes, it uses V-ing correctly' or suggest a small improvement.

  4. Teacher

    Step 4: Conclusion and assessment

    T gives positive feedback, corrects any remaining errors, and summarises: 'Suggest and recommend take V-ing or that + should. Advise can also take object + to-infinitive. Always check the pattern before you write.'

    Students

    Ss revise their sentences and record the final versions in their notebooks.
