Task 1: A Survey on Favourite Sports

 

Part B: Knowing teachers’ favourite sports

 

	1.	Introduce the context – a rich man would donate some money to the school for building a new sports facility and pupils need to write to the Principal to make suggestions about the sports facility to be built.
	2.	Have pupils listen to interviews with some teachers (LT 1.3) on their favourite sports and complete the interview form (LT 1.4).
	3.	Introduce interview skills using the interview cue sheet (LT 1.5).
	4.	Focus pupils’ attention on the adjectives for describing sports activities (e.g. thrilling, exciting, interesting). Elicit more adjectives by guiding pupils to think of reasons why they like or do not like the different sports activities (e.g. relaxing, tiring, boring).
	5.	Draw pupils’ attention to the derived forms of the adjectives, i.e. the –ing adjectives and the –ed adjectives. Highlight the difference in the use of the derived forms: the –ing adjectives for describing the sports activities and the –ed adjectives for describing the feelings.
	6.	Have pupils complete the activity sheet (LT 1.6) to consolidate the learning of the derived forms.
	7.	Introduce some phrases to describe the sports activities. Draw pupils’ attention to the word combinations, i.e. make me + adjective.
	8.	Play a ‘Broken Sentences’ game with pupils to revise the vocabulary learnt.
	9.	Show pupils a bar chart of the results of the teachers’ survey (LT 1.7) and guide them to guess why the teachers like playing the sports. Encourage pupils to practise using the newly learnt adjectives and phrases.
