Dinner alone

Introduction

- Before Ss open their books, review the previous unit. Focus on the characters in Unit 4 and key language and structures learnt.
- Write the Unit title on the board ‘Vietnamese food and drink’. Elicit any information Ss know about Vietnamese food and drink by asking what they know about different types of food and drink and their taste.
- Ask Ss to guess what the photo might show or what the conversation might be about. Let Ss open their books and check their answers.

1 Ask Ss questions about the picture:

E.g. Where are Phong and his mum? What might be happening to them? What are they doing? What is there in the fridge? T can ask Ss to guess what food and drink Phong would like to have. T can also ask Ss to share any recent experiences of having dinner alone: 'Have you ever had dinner alone?’, ‘When and where?’, ‘What did you eat then?’, ‘How did you feel then?’

- Play the recording. Ss listen and read. T can play the recording more than once. Pause the recording at the appropriate places if Ss need help with comprehension questions.
