*TASK 1: WORK IN GROUPS LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

-T divide class into 4 groups to discuss about this question Give them 2mts to discuss.

(What can you see in the picture? How each object is related to a green life style? Ex: single-use plastic bags: plastic waste, pollution, difficult to recycle, can end up in the ocean, fresh vegetable, green lifestyle.)

Which pictures show a green lifestyle? Why?

- Ss come back to the class ( MS.Team) -T asks some groups to share their answers.

“Ok, so now I would like to invite some group to share youranswers with whole class Which picture and the reasonwhy you chose them?”

-T confirm and leads into the topic of the reading

“What can people do to live green?”

***Suggested answers:

- In Picture a, a man goes shopping with lots of plastic bags It doesn’t show a green lifestyle Plastic bags pollute the environment since they take time to decay

- In Picture b, we can see fresh food, which looks organic and is better for our health It shows a green lifestyle - In Picture c, we can see a lot of litter on the ground Dropping litter makes the streets very dirty and pollutes the air and water It doesn’t show a green lifestyle

- In Picture d, the sign advises people to turn off lights when they are not in use This can save electricity and shows a green lifestyle.

*Pictures b, d show a green lifestyle In picture b, the man is harvesting organic food which reduces harmful chemicals in food and protects the environment In picture d, the sign shows us the activity of saving electricity, which helps our life and environment to be greener.

II.While-Reading

*TASK 2: READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT AND CHOOSE THE BEST TITILE FOR IT.

“We gonna move to activities 2 read and choose the best title for the text.”

-T show the text

“But before you read the text, I want you guys focus on the Tips box here Can some one help me to read the Tips

box?”

-T remind other Ss while your friends read out loud, they also must read it by themselves.

If no one raise hand, call randomly

-T checks their understanding after reading the Tips box.

“You read through the text or some first sentences? Focus on first paragraph or last paragraph? You chose the title for the whole text or each paragraph?”

-T tell them to work in pair to discuss the best option and compare their answers Give them 2mts

-T tell them type their pair answer on the chat box (MS Teams)

-T confirms the correct one

***Optional

Call some represents Ss to explain why the other options cannot be used as title for the text

Ex: (B) This only refers to environmental problems while the text mentions some solutions as well (C) The text mentions a couple of green products such as organic food and refillable bottles, but they are not the focus here.

“So, as you can see in the text, they give you a long text right, but, beside that they also give some particular idea/ small idea as here, here, here, and here (4 pinks lines) so you can easily guess the main idea for the whole text right?

So, in the first paragraph, there is a sentence “There are

many things you can do to become an eco-friendly person Here are some of them.”

So we choose A Green living.”

*TASK 3: CIRCLE THE CORECT MEANINGS OF THE HIGHTLIGHTED WORDS AND PHRASES IN THE TEXT.
