WHILE YOU READ
Setting the scene
You are going to read a passage about the qualities of a long lasting friendship. While you
are reading, do the tasks in the textbook.
TASK 1
Instruction: Fill each blank with one of the words in the box.
T writes these words on the board:
Acquaintance, incapable of mutual, unselfIsh, give-and-take, friend, loyal to, suspicious
Then T instructs Ss to read the passage quickly and stop at the lines that contain these
words to guess their meanings (except for, the word friend as this word is familiar with
Ss).
Ss guess the meaning of the words based on the contexts in the sentences. For example,
to guess the meaning of unselfish Ss may realize that this word is the noun of unselfishness
in line 5. Therefore, they may guess the meaning of unselfish first. Ss can pay attention to
the prefix un - and such phrases as concerned only, his own interest and feelings in the
following sentence.
T checks that Ss understand the words correctly. T can check Ss understanding by
asking them to provide the Vietnamese equivalents to the words.
Next, T instructs Ss to use some strategies to do Task 1:
- Continue with the rest of the sentences.
T asks Ss to work individually to do the task
T goes around to help Ss when necessary.
T asks Ss to exchange their answers with other Ss.
T asks Ss for their answers and tells them to explain their choices.
T gives the correct answers:

T gives feedback and the correct answer:
Answer: B
6' Instruction: You are required to answer the six questions in the book.
T asks Ss how .to do this task. If they do not remember, T may instruct them to use some
strategies to do the task:
+ First, skim the six questions to understand them. As Ss do this they:
T gives the correct answers:
1. The first quality for true friendship is unselfishness. It tells us / me that a person who is
concerned only with his / her own interests and feelings cannot be a true friend. (paragraph
2)
2. Because they take up an interest with enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it, and they
feel the attraction of some new object. (line 23, paragraph 3)
3. The third quality for true friendship is loyalty. It tell us / me that the two friends must be
loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions
between them. (line 13, paragraph 4)
4. Because if not people cannot feel safe when telling the other their secrets. (line 1 3,
paragraph 5)
5. Because they cannot keep a secret, either of their own or of others (line 3 4, paragraph
5)
6. The last quality is sympathy. It tells us / me that to be a true friend one must sympathise
with his / her friend. Where there is no mutual sympathy between friends, there is no true
friendship. (last paragraph)

15' WRITING
T gets Ss to write about their friend in 15 minutes.
T goes around to observe and offer help.
Sample writing:
Individual
work
Probably my best friend is one of my classmates. Her name is Mai. We have known
each other since we were 8 years old, and we have studied together since then.
However, we became best friends when we were at grade 6. At that time I was very bad
at English, and it was her who helped me improve my English. Now Mai lives with
their parents in Hai Ba
Trungstreet.
If I were to describe how she looks, I would say she is very pretty. She has short black
hair, brown almondshaped eyes, a small nose and a small pointed chin. She is not very
tall but not short either and she is quite slim. She doesnt like to dress up so I usually
see her wearing jeans and a Tshirt or sweater. She has a very nice personality and a
wonderful sense of humor, but she can also get a little depressed from time to time. I
can always count on her to be honest and to give me the best advice.
What I like about Mai is that she has the same hobbies with me. We both enjoy music,
playing the guitar and singing. We like going to the cinema but sometimes cant agree
on which movie to see. Whatever were doing, its always fun to be with her. In
addition, since I am better in math and science and she is better in English and
languages, we can always help each other if we get confused about a dfJIcult
homework assignment. We are lucky that we complement each other so well and that
we get along so well. I hope that our friendship will continue and be just as strong after
we graduate from high school. We would like to study at the same university.

III. Anticipated problems
Ss may find it difficult to pronounce the two sounds, so T should prepare a lot of practice.
IV. Procedure
Time Steps
Work
arrangement
12' PRONUNCIATION
Pronouncing the two sounds separately
T models the two sounds / d3 / and / tJ / for a few times and explains the differences in
producing them.
+ The phonetic sound / dj/ is a voiced palatal.voiced = vocal cords vibrate while making
this sound palatal = put your tongue behind your top teeth, push air as you drop your
tongue away from the roof ofyour mouth
+ The phonetic sound/ti / is an unvoiced fricative palatal. unvoiced = vocal cords do not
vibrate while making this sound fricative palatal = touch your tongue to the back of your
upper teeth and pull your tongue away as you push air out of your mouth
T plays the tape (or reads) once for Ss to hear the words containing these two sounds.
Then T plays the tape (or reads) again and this time asks Ss to repeat after the tape (orT).
Pronouncing words containing the sounds
T reads the words in each column all at once.
T reads the words once again, each time with a word in each column to help Ss
distinguish the differences between the sounds in the words.
T reads the words and asks Ss to repeat them.
T asks Ss to practice pronouncing the words in pairs.
T goes around providing help. -
T asks some Ss to pronounce the words and gives correction if necessary.
Practising sentences containing the target sounds
T reads the sentences and asks Ss underline the words with the sounds and write / d3 /
and / tf / under them.

Work
arrangement
or what is to be done with them.
+ I have letters to write. = I have letters that I must write.
+ Does he get anything to eat? = Does he get anything that he can eat?
Similarly with to-infinitives + preposition:
someone to talk to cushions to sit on a table to write on a tool to open it with a case to
keep my records in
2. Use of passive to-infinitive
+ There is plenty =
(a) plenty of things we can do
(b) plenty of work we must do
In the there + be+ noun / pronoun + to-infinitive construction, when there is an idea
of duty, as in (b) above, a passive to-infinitive is possible: There is a lot to be done.
But the active to-infinitive is more usual.
T continues writing some other sentences on the board:
+ Im sorry to trouble you.
+ It is easy to please that customer.
+ The pie is too hot to eat.
T asks some Ss to comment on the examples. T might explain to Ss that we can put to-
infinitives after adjectives. The form is: adj + to-infinitive; adj + too / enough+ to-
infinitive (too before an adjective means excessively; enough after an adjective means to
the necessary degree)
T asks some Ss to give some similar examples.
b) Practice
Exercise 1
T asks Ss to do Exercise 1 individually and then compare their answers with another
student.
T calls on some Ss to read out their answers.

8. Do you think her parents will let her go on a picnic?
Production: Story telling
T prepares a handout with six pictures in the right order.
T asks Ss to work in groups of 5 to tell the story about the crow in the pictures. T gets
across to Ss that they should use as many sentences with to-infinitives and bare
infinitives as possible. The group which produces the most logical story with the most
appropriate sentences using toinfinitives and bare infinitives will be the winner.
T calls on some groups to tell their story and elicits feedback from the class.
T gives final comments and provides correction if necessary.
Suggested story:
A WISE CROW
A crow had not had anything to drink for a long time. One day she saw a pitcher. There
was a little water in the pitcher, but it was too low for her to reach. What was she to do?
She tried to break the pitcher with her beak, and then to overturn it on the ground, but it
was too hard and heavy to do. Then she thought of a plan. She picked up a number of
little stones and dropped them one by one into the pitcher. In this way the water was
soon raised high enough for her to easily reach.

perfect, past continuous). If necessary, T reviews the uses of these tenses.
E.g.:
+ The past simple is used to talk about an event that happened and finished in the past
+ The past continuous is used to talk about an event that was in progress around a
specflc past time. We often use the past continuous together with the past simple. The
past continuous refers to a longer background action or situation; the simple past refers
to a shorter action or situation that happened in the middle or interrupted it.
+ The past perfect is used to talk about an event that had happened before another event
that happened in the past.
T gives examples and checks that Ss understand the use of these tenses.
T gets Ss to plan their stories according to the questions on the board, then compare
and check with a peer.

What happened? I nearly drowned
When it happened? A year ago, my last summer vacation
Where it happened? A river near my andparentsho use
