"Where are they?"
"What do you think the people in the picture are talking
about?"
-Ss answer the questions as a class. If they mention 'Bat Trang',
elicit what they know about this village.
-Play the recording and have Ss follow along. After that, Ss can
compare their answers with the information in the dialogue and
add some more details to their answers.
a/.Ss work independently to find the words with the given
meanings in the dialogue. Allow Ss to share their answers
before asking them to discuss as a class. Remember to ask Ss to
read out the lines in the dialogue that contain the words. Quickly
write the correct answers on the board.
-Have Ss look at the Watch out! box and quickly read the
information. Tell them that there are some similar expressions
such as 'as far as I can remember', 'as far as I can see', or 'as far
as I can tell'.
b/.Have Ss read the questions to make sure they understand
them. Ask them firstly to answer the questions without reading
the dialogue again. Ss exchange their answers with a classmate.
Now ask them to check their answers by reading the dialogue
again. Ask for Ss' answers.
Activity 2:

-Ss do this exercise individually. Elicit the answers and
give correction.
-To prepare for the next exercise T may organise a small
game for Ss to help them remember the meaning of the
phrasal verbs in the yellow box and exercise 4. The
class is divided into two teams A and B. Read out the
meaning of one phrasal verb. The quickest student to
raise their hand will be asked to say the verb out loud. If
the answer is correct, the team gets one point.
Otherwise, call one student from the other team to give
the answer. Keep a record of each team's scores on the
board. Remember to choose about eight to ten verbs that
you think are difficult for Ss.
Activity 6:
-Have Ss quickly read the provided sentences. Make
sure they understand the meaning of each sentence. Tell
Ss that all the phrasal verbs used in this exercise have
been presented in this lesson. Ss write the sentences
individually and then compare their answers with a
classmate. Call on two Ss to write their sentences on the
board. Other Ss and T give feedback. For a less able
class, T may want to model the first sentence. Ss may
just focus on the next two sentences. After two Ss write
their sentences on the board, check them carefully. If
there is no time left, ask Ss to finish the remaining
sentences as homework.

Dear Mira,

English Teaching Plan 9

Nghi Duc Secondary School

Ss work in pairs and discuss the places of interest in
their hometown/city that can be visited in one day and
the activities that can be done there. Remind Ss that
these places of interest should be most typical and worth
visiting. T should move around to, give comments as
there may not be enough time for checking with the
whole class.
Activity 5:
-Ss write the email, using the notes they have made. Ss
may also write this in groups on big pieces of paper. Ss
or groups exchange their descriptions to spot any
mistakes. Share them with the whole class. T may
collect some Ss' work to mark at home or ask them to
rewrite the email as homework. In this case, remember
to ask for Ss' revised work in the next lesson

School-year: 2023-2024
It's great to know that you're coming to
VietNam. What a pity you can only spend
one day in Ha Noi.
There are so many interesting places in
the city, but I think within one day you
should be able to visit three places. The
first place I suggest is VietNam National
Museum of History. You like history, so it's
a must-see place. There's an extensive
collection of artefacts tracing Viet Nam's
history. They're arranged chronologically
from primitive life to modern times. The
second place is Hoan Kiem Lake. It's one
of the symbols of Ha Noi. There you can
enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit Ngoc
Son Temple. You can also have a look at
the Old Quarter. Wander around the old
streets and some ancient houses to explore
Vietnamese culture.
Conveniently, these places are close to one
another, so we can walk around easily.
Tell me when you're coming, so I can show
you around these places.
Look forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes,
Thuc Anh
