words to guess their meanings (except for, the word ‘friend as this word is familiar with
Ss)
— Ss guess the meaning of the words based on the contexts in the sentences For example,
to guess the meaning of unselfish Ss may realize that this word is the noun of unselfishness
in line 5 Therefore, they may guess the meaning of unselfish first Ss can pay attention to
the prefix un - and such phrases as concerned only, his own interest and feelings in the
following sentence
— T checks that Ss understand the words correctly T can check Ss’ understanding by
asking them to provide the Vietnamese equivalents to the words

— T gives the correct answers:
1 The first quality for true friendship is unselfishness It tells us / me that a person who is
concerned only with his / her own interests and feelings cannot be a true friend (paragraph
2)
2 Because they take up an interest with enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it, and they
feel the attraction of some new object (line 2—3, paragraph 3)
3 The third quality for true friendship is loyalty It tell us / me that the two friends must be
loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions
between them (line 1—3, paragraph 4)
4 Because if not people cannot feel safe when telling the other their secrets (line 1 —3,
paragraph 5)
5 Because they cannot keep a secret, either of their own or of others (line 3 —4, paragraph
5)
6 The last quality is sympathy It tells us / me that to be a true friend one must sympathise
with his / her friend Where there is no mutual sympathy between friends, there is no true
friendship (last paragraph)

Individualwork
Probably my best friend is one of my classmates Her name is Mai We have known
each other since we were 8 years old, and we have studied together since then
However, we became best friends when we were at grade 6 At that time I was very bad
at English, and it was her who helped me improve my English Now Mai lives with
their parents in Hai Ba
Trungstreet
If I were to describe how she looks, I would say she is very pretty She has short black
hair, brown almond—shaped eyes, a small nose and a small pointed chin She is not very
tall but not short either and she is quite slim She doesn’t like to dress up so I usually
see her wearing jeans and a T—shirt or sweater She has a very nice personality and a
wonderful sense of humor, but she can also get a little depressed from time to time I
can always count on her to be honest and to give me the best advice
What I like about Mai is that she has the same hobbies with me We both enjoy music,
playing the guitar and singing We like going to the cinema but sometimes can’t agree
on which movie to see Whatever we’re doing, it’s always fun to be with her In
addition, since I am better in math and science and she is better in English and
languages, we can always help each other if we get confused about a dfJIcult
homework assignment We are lucky that we complement each other so well and that
we get along so well I hope that our friendship will continue and be just as strong after
we graduate from high school We would like to study at the same university

IV Procedure
arrangement
12' PRONUNCIATION
Pronouncing the two sounds separately
— T models the two sounds / d3 / and / tJ / for a few times and explains the differences in
producing them
+ The phonetic sound / dj/ is a voiced palatal.voiced = vocal cords vibrate while making
this sound palatal = put your tongue behind your top teeth, push air as you drop your
tongue away from the roof ofyour mouth
+ The phonetic sound/ti / is an unvoiced fricative palatal unvoiced = vocal cords do not
vibrate while making this sound fricative palatal = touch your tongue to the back of your
upper teeth and pull your tongue away as you push air out of your mouth
— T plays the tape (or reads) once for Ss to hear the words containing these two sounds
Then T plays the tape (or reads) again and this time asks Ss to repeat after the tape (orT)
Pronouncing words containing the sounds
— T reads the words in each column all at once
— T reads the words once again, each time with a word in each column to help Ss
distinguish the differences between the sounds in the words
— T reads the words and asks Ss to repeat them

— T goes around to providing help
— T asks some Ss to read the sentences and gives feedback
Wholeclass,individualwork & pairwork
1 To-infinitive
a) Presentation
— T writes some sentences on the board and underline the to + infinitive:
+ Ihave letters to write
+ Does he get anything to eat?
+ There is plenty to do
— T asks Ss to comment on the use of to + infinitives in these examples T reviews the
form anc( use of
to-infinitives in the examples T may give Ss the following handout
Wholeclass,individualwork & pairwork
In the examples above the infinitives are used to replace relative clauses
1 The infinitive can be placed after nouns / pronouns to show how they can be used
or what is to be done with them
+ I have letters to write = I have letters that I must write
+ Does he get anything to eat? = Does he get anything that he can eat?
Similarly with to-infinitives + preposition:
someone to talk to cushions to sit on a table to write on a tool to open it with a case to
Trang 11(a) plenty of things we can do
(b) plenty of work we must do
In the there + be+ noun / pronoun + to-infinitive construction, when there is an idea
of duty, as in (b) above, a passive to-infinitive is possible: There is a lot to be done
But the active to-infinitive is more usual
— T continues writing some other sentences on the board:
+ I’m sorry to trouble you
+ It is easy to please that customer
+ The pie is too hot to eat
— T asks some Ss to comment on the examples T might explain to Ss that we can put
infinitives after adjectives The form is: adj + infinitive; adj + too / enough+
to-infinitive (too before an adjective means excessively; enough after an adjective means to
the necessary degree)
— T asks some Ss to give some similar examples
b) Practice
Exercise 1
— T asks Ss to do Exercise 1 individually and then compare their answers with another
student
— T calls on some Ss to read out their answers
— T gives correct answers:
1 Who wants something to eat?
2 I have some letters to write
3 1 am / was delighted to hest the news
4 My mother has some shopping to do
5 You always have too much to talk about
6 It’s lovely to see you again
7 It’s / was too cold to go out
8 I’m happy to know that you have passed the exams
10' 2 Infinitive without to (bare infinitive)
a) Presentation
— T calls on some Ss to give out some verbs that are followed by bare infinitives,
— T may make clear that:
+ We can use a noun or pronoun object + bare infinitive after verbs of perceptions such
as feel, hear, watch, see, notice, observe, perceive, smell The bare infinitive generally
refers to the complete action
+ We use the bare infinitive after let and make: let sb do sth = allow sb to do sth, make
— T asks them to compare answers with another pair
— T calls on some Ss to go to the board to write their answers
— T asks other Ss to feedback and gives correct Answers:
1 The police watched them get out of the car
2 They let him write a letter to his wife
3 I heard them talk in the next room
4 The customs officer made him open the briefcase
5 The boy saw the cat jump through the window

“Have you ever” Game
This is a game for students to practise making “Have you ever ” questions, and
responding to them To prepare for it, at home T cuts out and shuffles the given “Tell the
Truth” or “Tell a Lie” cards
— T first divides the class into groups of 3 — 4 Then T places the cards in one pile at the
centre of the table
— T models “Have you ever” + past participle” for Ss as well as ways to respond to
“Have you ever” questions
E.g
Have you ever sung in public?
Yes, I have or No, I haven t.‘
If the answer is “Yes”, one might ask a follow-up question, using the past simple, e.g
When was it? Where did you sing? etc
— Now T introduces the game: Within their groups the first student starts and asks
anyone else in his I her group a “Have you ever question.” The student who is asked the
question should draw a card from the pile of “Tell the Truth” or “Tell a Lie” cards and
answer according to the card The rest of the students are allowed to ask 3 more
follow-up questions to try and determine if the person answering is telling the truth or lying

arrangement
— T elicits the verb tenses that can be used for describing a past event (past simple, past
perfect, past continuous) If necessary, T reviews the uses of these tenses
E.g.:
+ The past simple is used to talk about an event that happened and finished in the past
+ The past continuous is used to talk about an event that was in progress around a
specflc past time We often use the past continuous together with the past simple The
past continuous refers to a longer ‘background’ action or situation; the simple past refers
to a shorter action or situation that happened in the middle or interrupted it
+ The past perfect is used to talk about an event that had happened before another event
that happened in the past
— T gives examples and checks that Ss understand the use of these tenses
— T gets Ss to plan their stories according to the questions on the board, then compare
and check with a peer
E.g A sample outline
What happened? I nearly drowned
When it happened? A year ago, my last summer vacation
Where it happened? A river near my andparents’ho use

haven’t seen them since my
last school holiday
Let me tell you about my last summer vacation at my grandparents’ It was almost a
year ago and was one of my most unforgettable experiences
My grandparents live in a small village, which is about 70 kilometres southeast of
Hanoi There is a large river at the back of their house where I often do swimming
every afternoon when I spend my vacation with them
One day when I was swimming with some of my friends, I suddenly caught a cold I
felt so dizzy and was too weak to continue swimming, so I started to sink I thought I
was going to drown but I couldn’t call out for help because I was too tired and
terrified Luckily, one of my friends saw that and shouted for help Immediately,
another friend who swims the best among us swam towards me and tried to pull me
up Then other friends swam towards us to help him push me in My ljfe was finally

E.g.: Are you sleeping?
E.g.: I have had a cold for two weeks
Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl
Note:
* You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as:
yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that
moment, that day, one day, etc We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific
expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already,
yet, etc
— T emphasises that we can use all these present tenses in telling stories (which are often
concerned with past events) to make the stories more interesting
— If T sees that Ss have already mastered the forms, meanings, and uses of these verb
tenses, T can skip the presentation stage to save time, and go straight to the practice

Eg.: Isaw a horror film last night He didn ‘I was!, his car
E.g.: 1-Ie arrived from the airport at 8 00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the
others at 10.00
E.g.: I lived in Brazil for 2 years
E.g.: They never went to school They always skipped their classes
E.g.: She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing
Past continuous
+ Form: Was / were + V-ing
+ Meaning: Past time
E.g.: I was watching TV when she called Last at 6 PM, I was eating dinner
E.g.: I was studying while he was making dinner
E.g.: When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some were
talking on the phones, the boss was yelling directions, and customers were waiting to be
helped One customer was yelling at a secretary and waving his hands Others were
complaining to each other about the bad service

+ Form: Had + Past Participle
+ Meaning: Past time
E.g.: I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Hanoi V With Non-Continuous
Verbs and some non- continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that
something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past
E.g.: We had had that car for ten years before it broke down
— If T sees that Ss have already mastered the form, meaning, and uses of this verb tense, T can
skip the presentation stage to save time, and go straight to the practice stage
