Members of families can have a chance to get together, to know and help one another. Second paragraph: - When to celebrate: I think first Sunday of April is suitable. Sunday is a day off so everybody is free from work or study. April is late in spring or early summer, and the weather is generally fine at this time of the year, many activities can happen outdoors. - How to celebrate: It is not necessary to have parties but it’s a good idea to have lunch or dinner with all members of the family. Children should give their parents flowers, send them cards, or bring them a special cake. Moreover, children should serve their parents the food that they like best. Third paragraph: I believe the idea will be supported and the day will be celebrated nationwide because everybody loves their parents and wants their parents to be happy. * Homework:(5 ') - Write the passage into your notebooks - Prepare section language focus ( Relative clauses & adverb clauses of concession ) Self evaluation ………………………………………………………………… ……… ……………………………………………………………………… Giao an Tieng Anh lop 9 Ngo Thi Hanh Truong THCS Tran Hung Dao [...]...Week: 27 Period: 53 Unit 8: (cont’d) Preparing day: 15.3. 08 Teaching day: 18. 3. 08 LANGUAGE FOCUS ( p 70 – 73 ) I Objectives: By the end of the lesson, Ss will be able to use relative clauses & adverb clauses of concession II Language contents: * Vocab: from unit 8 * Grammar: Relative clauses & adverb clauses of concession III.Techniques: Matching,... even though she has decorated her house and exercise in pairs, noting to made plenty of cakes change some words b/ Although we don’t have a Mother’s Day in Viet - giving feedback & Nam, Dad and I have special gifts and parties for corrections my mom every year on the 8th of March c/ We went to HaNoi to watch the parade on the National Day last year even though we live in Nam Dinh d/ Many tourists enjoy... tried to finish her letter * Homework:(4 ') - Write some sentences to describe the picture in ex 3/ page72 -Prepare unit 9: Natural disasters ( 1 & 2 ) Self evaluation : ………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………………………………………………… Giao an Tieng Anh lop 9 Ngo Thi Hanh Truong THCS Tran Hung Dao ... very much e/ Even though in Australia Christmas season is Giao an Tieng Anh lop 9 Ngo Thi Hanh Truong THCS Tran Hung Dao in summer, Australians enjoy Christmas as much as people in European countries do f/ Although Jim came to the show late due to the traffic jam, he could see the main part of the show 4/ Activity 4: (8' ) - T explains the task - Ss read the example - T has Ss study the pictures, T... compose songs - Ss do the exercise - Cross check Giao an Tieng Anh lop 9 Ngo Thi Hanh Truong THCS Tran Hung Dao public corrections keys & d/ We often go to the town cultural house, which always opens on public holidays e/ I like reading books which tell about different peoples and their cultures f/ On my mom’s birthday my dad gave her roses, which were very sweet and beautiful g/ Judy like the full-moon... beautiful g/ Judy like the full-moon festival, which is celebrated in mid-fall, very much h/ Tomorrow I’ll go to the airport to meet my friends, who come to stay with us during the Christmas Activity 2 (8' ) * Activity 2: Describe each of the people in the pictures Use relative clauses EX: - T explains the task, + I am the boy who is wearing a white T- shirt teaches ss the new words + My aunt Judy is the . section read/ 68, 69 ( Father’s Day & Mother’s Day) D/ Remarks : Week: 27 Preparing date: 18/ 3/07 Period: 53 Teaching date: 19/ 3/07 Unit 8: (cont) celebrations.
