Introduction
To start the lesson, write ‘Green Summer Campaign’, ‘working for the community’, and ‘having a beach holiday’ on the board. Ask Ss to guess which two phrases connect to each other. Once Ss have found the answer, ask them why they think ‘green summer’ relates to ‘working for the community’, and what activities a person can do. If T has some volunteer experience, he/ she can share with the class.
Ask Ss to open their books to the picture. T can ask Ss prediction questions about the picture. For more able classes, brainstorm questions with Ss and write them on the board. Questions may include:
- What can you see in the picture?
- Who do you think they are?
- What are they talking about?
Ss answer the questions as a class. T plays the recording and has Ss follow along. After the first listening, T asks Ss to recall information from the listening.
- Global Citizen is (the name of the radio programme).
- Hai Ba Trung School is (the school where Mai and Phuc go to).
- Be a Buddy is (the organisation that Mai is from).
- Go Green is (the organisation that Phuc is from).
