*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?

A B

Misunderstanding the requirements Not really focus

to discuss MS.TTeans problems

Ss use L1 more than L2

- 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 your

answers with whole class Which picture and the reason

why 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

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

7mts Slide Picture

Ss use L1 more than L2 -T may have some troubles with make rooms to work

in pair

S use L1 more than L2

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.
