T-S T explains the procedure of the “Substitution Drill.” 5’
T: OK. Now, you have understood how to talk about likes and dislike, how to suggest what
to eat or where to eat out and how to accept suggestions.
Now, you are going to work in pairs. Students A will get a blue chip and Students B will
get a red chip.
On the board, you’ll see the lines of a conversation. You’ll see one line at a time.
Students A, read the lines in blue bubbles. Students B, read the red bubbles.
Later, I’ll show you different pictures of food. So, change the names of the food.
After we finish one conversation, exchange your chips and find a new partner. We will
continue with another conversation. So what are we going to do?
Ss: Read the lines – exchange chips – find a new partner – start with a new conversation.
T: Right. Are you ready? Let’s start! (See ppt slides.)
S–S T explains the procedure of “Eternal Mingle.” 10’
T: Good job, everyone! Now you’ll have the chance to practice the expressions to ask
your friends to eat out. Each of you will get a worksheet like this one (APPENDIX 1).
Write down your three favorite foods. Then go around the class and talk to you friends,
one friend at a time. Ask him if they like the food you like. How do you do that?
Ss: Do you like ....?
T: Right! If your friend says YES, ask him to eat out together and write down his name. If
he says NO, find another friend and ask him the same question until you find someone
who says YES. Keep going around the class and talk to your friends until you have
found three friends go eat out together.
Is it clear? What are we going to do?
Ss: Write down our favorite foods – ask a friend if he likes the food we like – talk to other
friends until we find three friends saying YES – write down their names.
S–S 1. T pairs up Ss. 10’
2. T assigns Ss to prepare a conversation similar to the model conversation but with the
Ss’ own ideas.
3. T gives Ss time to prepare and practice the conversation.
4. T invites some pairs to perform their conversation, on pair at a time.
While performing, Ss are not allowed to bring their books or notes.
5. Before the first pair performs, T gives Ss a Feedback Form (APPENDIX 2).
6. T explains that Ss need to give feedback on their friends performance by completing
the feedback form:
 1st column with their friends’ names
 2nd column with the foods their friends like
 3rd column with the foods their friends don’t like

they can using the words they see on the Wordle; miniboard 2  negative sentences,
etc.
5. When Ss hear T claps her hands, Ss working on miniboard 1 go to miniboard 2; Ss
working on miniboard 2 go to miniboard 3, etc.
6. After all groups have finished writing their sentences, T assigns Ss to go around the
class checking the sentences and Qs their friends have written and to find if there are
grammatical errors. Ss are to offer suggestions/corrections to their friends work.
T–S 1. T models the pronunciation of Yes/No Qs with rising intonation and WH- Qs with falling 5’

learned by stating their 2. T gives each pair a picture of food. (APPENDIX 4) Ss ask and answer questions about
opinion about certain foods the food shown on the picture.
based on pictures . 3. SA has to challenge SB to say a sentence about the picture using more a longer
(“How long can you go?) sentence.
4. Whoever can make a longer sentence wins.
5. The one who loses gets to keep the picture. And he needs to find a new friend who
doesn’t hold any picture.
6. Ss with pictures challenge those with no pictures to tell their opinions about the picture.

T: Now, let’s work in pairs. I will give each pair a picture of food. One of you has to ask a
question, like “Do you like vegetables?” or “What vegetables do you like?”
The other should answer the question. Try to make your answer as long as possible.
Whoever can make a longer sentence wins that round.
For example, if SA’s sentence is “I love milk.” and SB’s sentence is “I love strawberry
and chocolate milk especially because they are delicious.”, then SB wins.
SA loses, so he gets to keep the picture. And he has to challenge a new friend with no
picture, a winner of another pair.
Is it clear? Yes? What do we have to do?
Ss: Ask and answer questions about the picture we have.
T: How can you win the story telling competition?
Ss: If our sentence(s) is/are longer than our friend’s sentence(s).
T: What do you do if you lose a round?
Ss: We get to keep the picture and we have to challenge winners of other pairs.
T: How do you know who to challenge?
Ss: Friends with no pictures.
T: Excellent. Here are your pictures. Everybody, stand up! Are you ready? Go!
