WARM-UP:
Let’s start with a little game, shall we?
The game we gonna play today is called “Hit the buzzer!”, sounds exciting right?
First, to play this game, I will have to divide you into 2 groups, from here to here is group 1,
and the rest is group 2.
And here are the rules: there are 3 rounds, each group will have a representative come here to
answer on each round; after listening to the question, they will quickly hit the buzzer to earn
the chance to answer; if their answers’ are on my answers list, they will get 1 point for each
correct answer, if not, the other will get the chance to answer; after 3 rounds, who has the
most points wins!
…
Let’s look at your book to have a better understanding of this.
Task 3:
Okay now please look at the handouts you have just been given.
Here are some Speaking Strategy you can use when you want to change the subject or engage
in a topic that you want to know more about during a conversation. For example:…
Now read the tasks.
Now let’s listen to this recording, and take note of phrases that you use.
Anyone want to present their answers?/ Yes, you!/ Alright I will pick one.
Task 4:
Next let’s look at these indirect questions.
Can anyone tell me what is an indirect question? And when would we use it?
That’s right, they are the same as a normal question, they difference is they would be used as
a formal and polite way to ask about something, especially when you’re speaking to a stranger
or someone who has superior status to you, like an elder or teacher, your boss perhap.
They often begin with…
Okay now let’s hear the recording again and fill in your answers.
Can someone come to the board to write down their answers for me? Yes you please.
GRAMMAR BUILDER:
Alright now, look at the handouts, you can see the indirect questions I have listed out for you.
Like I have said before, indirect questions are used in a more formal context compared to
normal questions.
You can form them by…
Now, please do Exercise 1, you’ll have 2 minutes.
Okay, now you and you, please come to the board and write your answers. You too, please.
Everyone, pay attention to the board and check for your friends’ answers.
Task 6 + 7:
We will now do a little Role Play!
I will once again divide you into 2 groups, this time group A and B.
Each group will have a different job interview scenario.
Group A would be for a Tour guide position and Group B would be for a Restaurant Server
position.
You will work in pairs with one as the employer and the other as the job applicant.
Applicants, please remember to use your indirect questions, because this is a formal context
with your superior, in this case, your employer. You should cover these 4 points in task 6:
(responsibilities, experience required, your personal qualities, hours of work and salary)
You’ll have 1 minute to prepare, and remember to switch role.
I will now have some pairs to come to the board and perform their versions of the interview,
okay? Yes you and you…
MYSTERY JOB INTERVIEW!:
The next activity would have you walk around a bit.
It’s called “MYSTERY JOB INTERVIEW”.
The premise is simple. I have here with me 5 job cards, one of you will receive a card without
knowing what it is. They will have to show the cards to other classmate then ask indirect
questions to find out what the job is. You can ask questions like "Could you tell me if my job
is indoors or outdoors?" or "Would you mind telling me if I need to work with customers?". If
they think they know what the job is, they will write it on the board. If the answer is correct,
they will receive a gift, if not, they will have to continue asking.
Now, let’s play, who want to go first?
