(Justification: The revision will examine students' learuing effect and easily lead in the text.)

Step 2 Presentation (10 minutes)

2a

The teacher makes students' attention focus on the picture, and asks students to describe it. Help students say that the boy is going to somewhere, but he doesn't know what to wear. The girl is helping him to pick out clothes.

Then points to the list of reasons, and invite a student to read them to the class.

T: You are going to listen to a conversation between Larry, and the girl, and circle the reasons. For the first time, you only need to listen to it. For the second time, you should listen to it again and circle the reasons.

Check the answers.

(Justification : The process of this step can provide practice for students in understanding the target language in spoken conversation. )

2b

Read the instructions to the class.

Point to the list of sentences. Invite a student to read them to the class.

T: You will listen to the same conversation again. This time you are going to check the four things that Larry's sister says to him.

Play the recording again. Students listen and check the things.

Check the answers.

(Justification : The process of this step provides listening practice for students in using the target language.)

Step 3 Practice (10 minutes)

The teacher points to the list of Larry' s worries in the box, and invites a student to read them to the class. Then asks students to look back at the list of checked sentences.

Read the instructions to the class.

T: Please make conversations by using information from Activities 2b and 2c.

Ask a pair of students to demonstrate a conversation to the class.

S1 : I don't know what to wear.

S2 : If I were you, I' d wear a shirt and tie.

Get students to work in pairs. As the pairs work together, walk around the room checking the pairs' progress and giving language and pronunciation support as needed.

After all the students have a chance to play both parts, stop the activity. Ask different students to perform their conversations.

Optional activity

Ask students to write down a problem they have on a piece of paper. Have students exchange papers with one another and read the one they receive. Then ask students to write two pieces of advice they would give the other student. Ask a student to read his / her advice to the class. The rest guess the problem.

(Justification: This activity provides oral practice for students in using the target language.)

Step 4 Grammar Focus (15 minutes)

Ask different students to read the question and answer and the statements to the class.

S1 : What would you do if you won a million dollars?

S2: I'd give it to charity.

S3 : If I were you, I' d wear a shirt and tie.

S4 : If I were you, I'd take a small present.

Write them on the blackboard.

Show a picture of someone in a lion's cage on the screen by a projector. Ask students questions pointing to the picture.

T: Have you ever been in a lion's cage?

Ss : No.

T: That's right. None of us has ever been in a lion's cage. What would you do if you were in a lion's cage?

(Write the question on the blackboard.)

S1 : I 'd call for help. (Write the sentence on the blackboard.)

T: What about you?

S1 : I 'd get out fast. (Write the sentence on the blackboard. )'

Get several more examples from other students.

T: When we talk about things that haven't happened, we often use the word"would"(underline the word"would" in the question). Apostrophe "d" is the abbreviation of the word "would" (underline the abbreviation "d"in the answers).

Then underline the word "were" in the two statements.

T: When you tell someone what you would do, you use the expression if I were you.

Get all the students to read the target language on the blackboard.

Pronunciation noteWhen saying the words"would you" in phrases such as what would you doEnglish speakers often run the words together and pronounce these words as if they were spelled "wudjudu".

(Justification: Let students know the point of the grammar and the right pronunciation of words.)
