E4.2 A2 Speakout unit 7B. Work: An extra day.

• Engels
• MBO
• Studiejaar 1

Period 4 lesson 1

Ss learn the difference between the present simple and present continuous. This builds on the work they did on the present continuous in Lesson 6A. The context is a listening where they listen to people talking about what they’d do if they had an ‘extra day’. Ss learn some phrasal verbs.

They also learn about the /t/ sound in connected speech. Then they do a speaking activity where they

discuss doing volunteer jobs.

Check Teams for all the individual replies.

Speaking

First: think 25 seconds.

Then: speak 25 seconds.

Put Ss in small groups to discuss the questions. When they have finished, nominate a student from each group to share their ideas with the class.

Speaking

Work in pairs. Answer the questions.

1. What do you like about your job/studies?

What don’t you like? Why? 

2. Imagine you have an extra day free each week. What would you like to do on the extra day?

3. Look at the photo of the man working on his extra day. What is he doing?

Ss discuss the questions in pairs. 

If you have a multicultural class, try to put people from different countries together. When they have finished, elicit a few answers and have a brief class discussion.
