Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Warming up
Let Ss watch a video of Michael Jackson and evoke Ss’
awareness of environmental protection.
Free Talk & Look and say
T may want to Ss to work in groups of four and discuss what they
can do to save the earth. T can encourage Ss to make a list of the
things they can do. T can write Ss’ suggestions on the board, then
encourage Ss to comment on one another’s suggestions.
(Tip: If the class is weak, T can use the examples from PPT P7-
P13 as prompts. First, T can ask Ss to look at the pictures and say
what people can do to save the earth. Then, T can encourage Ss to
write / think of more ways to save the earth. If the class is strong,
T can let Ss share their ideas first, then use the examples on PPT
to make a conclusion.)
Step 2 Presentation & Practice
While-listening
1a
Ask Ss to rank the items from the easiest to the most difficult
using number 1-5.As it is most likely that Ss won’t have identical rankings for the
list of items, after Ss have filled in their rankings, T may want to
call on a few Ss to ask them to share their rankings with the class
and explain their reasons for their rankings.
Answers will vary.
1b
Ask Ss to compare their answers in 1a with their partners.
T may want to clarify the use the conjunction but used in the given
conversation.

sentence in formal writing. However, it can be used at the
beginning of a sentence in speech or in informal writing.

about.
Answers: turning off the shower, taking your own bags when
shopping, not riding in cars, riding a bike

Before playing the recording again for Ss to complete the activity, T
may want to have Ss try to recall what they heard and have Ss
attempt the activity first.
Answers: Checked: Doing now — turn off the lights
Will do in the future — taking your own bags when shopping
Would never do — turning off the shower, not riding in cars, riding
a bike
Play the recording for another time and answer the questions.
1. Who read a book?
2. Would Julia turn off the shower when she is washing her hair?
3. Does Jack live close to school?
Show Ss the listening material, and ask them to role-play the
conversation in pairs.
Post-listening

help save the earth, then use these new suggestions to make
their conversations.
