● Flashcards
- Whiteboard and pen.

Setting up the class:

- The teacher should log into the system via the link shared by Operations Executive 5
minutes before starting time.

General notes:

- Speed: For this level, speed is really important. Speed will be decided based on the
student's age and level. The higher level, the faster speed. Speed will also depend on
the students’ characteristics.
- Pronunciation: For ESL student, correcting pronunciation is really important and
teachers should correct during the class.
- The teacher should appraise the student or correct positively frequently.
- If the student cannot answer, the teacher can ask guiding questions to help the S to
get to the answer.
- If the student cannot concentrate, the teacher can use TPR to motivate the student.

For writing activities, please ask the student to TYPE the answers instead of WRITING
using the pen tool.

Evaluate the student performance after class (for teachers): Please spare five minutes to
fill in the performance evaluation for the student via Kynaforkids Teacher’s App. This is

Mike

(6 mins)

T introduces the task and explains that the S need to choose a correct answer for each blank.

T asks the S to read the text and stops at the first blank. T explains why we fill that word in the
blank. For example: we need to fill a preposition that goes with "your place", so "in" is the
correct word.

For questions 1- 6:
T grants the writing tool for S.
T asks the S to read out loud and stop at the blank (No.0). T asks the S what kind of word
should be written in the blank. T gives some examples. T asks the S to type the correct word.
T checks and explains.

Answer key:
1. on - put on = wear something
2. has - singular noun (a new department store) so only <has> fits the gap.
3. and - the author is listing things, before the last item mentioned, there should be the
word <and>
4. because - give reasons - only conjunction <because> fits.
5. at - it's a fixed phrase expressing the presence.
6. around - take sb around = guide someone through and introduce them to some place.

F: OK. Do you have any ideas about the watch in particular?
M: Not yet. I really like my current one. It's a digital silver watch but it cannot be used in the

M: Yes, please.
F: The first one is the Casino. It's made of steel and best known for its high-quality though it's
a bit pricey. Every month, we offer a 20% discount, which might save at least £10.

F: It's £50.

T introduces the task and explains that they will listen to a conversation between two people.
The S needs to match two lists of information.

T briefs through some tips for this part:

- You need to look through two lists and think about what they are going to talk about for each
option.
- In the second list, the word you hear might not be the words that you see, but their
synonyms. For example, you might hear very big instead of large.
- There is one answer for each question --> After you use an answer, you can cross it out.

T circles the topics and explains what S might hear in each option.

T plays the audio and asks the S to note down the answers on a piece of paper. T grants the
writing tool for the S to write the answer. T checks the answer and explains.

M: With my classmates, Mum. The store wasn't as large as people said, but it was modern
with many well-equipped facilities.
F: Really? What do other friends say about it?
M: Peter said that it was quite expensive to shop there. There is some stuff which we can
easily find in the local market, but it is half price cheaper.
F: Oh, I see. What about Katherine?
M: She said that it wasn't pricey at all. She said it was quite reasonable because most of the
products are from big brands.
F: Did Sarah also think so?
M: She didn't say much about the price. She was just surprised by how small the parking
lot was. There was barely room for bikes. The cars alone took up most of the space.
