They will sit facing the board and they will form two groups for the closure exercise.
Possible problems/difficulties and their possible solutions during class
They might be a bit reluctant to speak. I’ll encourage them to participate as actively as
possible.
Assessment
I’ll assess their use of the target structure during the different exercises.
Routine 3’
I’ll say hello to students and I’ll copy the date on the board.
Warm-up 10’
Purpose: To review should/shouldn’t to give advice.
I’ll take cards that contain different problems and or situations. I’ll read them out loud one by one. Students will have to give some advice using should/shouldn’t.
What are some things you should do to improve your English?
I want to make a lot of money, give me some advice.
What should politicians do to make your country a better place? What should ordinary people do?
I just saw a man stealing a woman’s purse, what should I do?
What should people do to be happy? I want to be healthier, give me some advice.
Comentario [A4]: Why don´t you have students taking the cards and reading them out loud? Thus, they will participate more actively.
Comentario [A5]: What will you say to introduce the activity? You must set the context.
Questions taken from: http://www.eslconversationquestions.com/should-and-shouldnt/
Transition: Very good, now let’s open the book on page 30.
Presentation 5’
Purpose: to introduce new vocabulary related to illnesses and symptoms.
T: Now, you’ll match the pictures with the correct words from the box.
Once they’ve finished we’ll correct it orally.
Transition: Now, look at these dialogues.
Development
Activity 1 (10’)
Purpose: to review should/shouldn’t using the new vocabulary.
I’ll stick on the board the following dialogues.
A: What’s the matter?
B: I don’t feel well. I’ve got an earache.
A: Poor you! You should go to the doctor’s.
A: What’s wrong?
B: I don’t feel well. I’ve got a bad rash.
A: Oh dear. You should use some cream.
Comentario [A6]: You may tell them that, to keep on giving pieces of advice, they need to open their books at page 30.
Comentario [A7]: You can ask students what those pictures have in common, so as to elicit the word illnesses.
I’ll ask two students to volunteer to read them.
Then I’ll stick these ideas as pieces of advice.
Drink a lot of water
Go to bed
Go to the dentist’s/doctor’s
Have a throat lozenge
Rest
Stay at home
Take a pain killer
Take some cough/cold medicine
Use an ice pack
Use some cream.
We’ll go through them one by one so that I assure they know everything on the list.
T: Taking these two dialogues as models, you’ll have to invent some dialogues among yourselves, using the new vocabulary and these pieces of advice.
Transition: Now, let’s read about some people’s problems.
Activity 2 (7’)
Purpose: to read and match the problems with the pieces of advice.
T: There are five people who have written to the Aagony Aaunt in a magazine. (I’ll ask them if they know what the agony aunt is.) You’ll have to read and find out who wrote the problems by matching them with the correct piece of advice.
I never have any money
and am always broke. As
soon as I get my pocket
money, I spend it the first
time I go out.
My parents don’t like my friends.
They blame them for everything
that goes wrong. They say I have
to stop going out with them. What
should I do?
Some people told me my
brother has some new friends
who are often in trouble with
the police. Do you think I
should tell my parents?
I’m very overworked. I’ve got a full
time job and two children, but my
wife never helps with any
household jobs and never looks
after the children. It’s so unfair!
I moved here two months ago
and still don’t know anyone apart
from the people I work with. I
don’t like discos, so I find it very
hard to meet people.
Dear Tim,
You should stop feeling sorry for
yourself and do something about
the problem. Why don’t you
invite somebody from work for a
coffee or join a sports club?
Dear Ken,
I wouldn’t say anything about
this for the moment, if I were you.
Perhaps what you heard is not
true. You should first speak to
your brother.
Dear Andrew,
You should ask your wife to help
with housework. If she doesn’t
want to, you should leave her at
once or you’ll be a slave all your
life.
Comentario [A8]: You may brainstorm some possible problems for those pieces of advice.
Comentario [A9]: What will you say in case they don´t know?
Comentario [A10]: There are some words they might not know, such as blame, broke, pocket money, overworked, household… How are you planning to deal with them?
Before they start matching we’ll read every extract together so that I make sure everyone understands everything.
Once they’ve finished we’ll check it orally.
Taken from: https://en.islcollective.com/resources/printables/worksheets_doc_docx/giving_advice/modals-
advice-should/13431
Transition: Now, you’ll be agony aunts!
Activity 3 (15’)
Purpose: To write short problems and advise their classmates on others.
T: In a piece of paper, you’ll write a short problem. When everyone has finished, you’ll give those pieces of paper to me. I’ll mix them up and I’ll hand out themthem out again. You’ll have to be the agony aunt of your classmate.
When they have finished they will read the problem and the advice.
Transition: Now let’s make two groups.
Closure 10’
Purpose: To give a closure to the lesson.
I’ll take pictures for the following words
Backache
Toothache
Rash
Cold
Cough
Earache
Headache
Sore throat
Stomach ache
Temperature
T: Without looking, a member of your group will have to take a card and stick it onto their forehead. (I’ll show them what to do) The rest of the group will have to give clues so that the person that has the card guesses the word.
Clues can be pieces of advice or a description of the word, but you cannot mention the word or part of it.
I’ll say good bye to students.
Dear Paul,
This is a problem a lot of people have.
Perhaps you shouldn’t take all your
money with you when you go out.
Another good thing is to keep an
account of what you spend every day.
Dear Jenny,
You should take your friends home so that
your parents can get to know them better.
However, perhaps your parents are right
and your friends are nothing but trouble.
Think it over before you decide.
Comentario [A11]: If they don´t, what will you do?
Comentario [A12]: You must include them here.
Comentario [A13]: You can model the activity first.

Remember they are supposed to describe the skills students will develop throughout the lesson. As well as this, think of teaching strategies so as to make sure they understand thoroughly. Use the target language as much as possible. They are pre-intermediate students – take advantage of that! And do foster their using L2 meaningfully as well. Have a nice lesson.

Teaching approach
The lesson will be organized through PPP procedure.
Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
Students will practisce oral and writing skills.
Materials
Board, tape, sentences for the presentation activity, copies for the different activities.
Seating Arrangement
They will sit facing the board.
Possible problems/difficulties and their possible solutions during class
They might not feel like playing the game. In that case I’ll ask half of the group to write an ‘if clause’ and the other half to write the main clause. Then, they’ll match each half randomly with one of their classmates and they’ll read the results. (This activity might also be done in case we have some spare time).
Assessment
I’ll assess their use of the target structure during the different exercises.
Routine 5’
I will say ‘hello!’ to students. Then I’ll copy the date on the board.
We’ll check the productions of the Agony Aunt from the previous class. I’ll ask them to read their pieces of advice.
Wamp-up 10’
Purpose: to review should/shouldn’t.
I will ask students to write a short problem in on a piece of paper. When they have finished, I’ll ask them to fold the paper and give them to me. I’ll mix them up and I’ll hand out the writing again. Students will have to write a piece of advice for those problems.
Finally, they will have to read the answer and their advice.
Transition: Now, let’s review some conditional sentences.
Comentario [A17]: ?
Comentario [A18]: Is it a meaningful and contextualized transition?
Presentation 10’
Purpose: To introduce zero and first conditional sentences.
T: Well, we are going to review conditional sentences zero and first. You might have seen it in the previous year, and before continuing with second conditional, we’re going to refresh these two.
I will stick on the board the following:
ZERO CONDITIONAL
You use it to talk about a general truth – a fact.
FIRST CONDITIONAL
You use it to say something that might happen in the future.
We will read the headlines and their uses and I’ll explain them if necessary. Then I’ll stick two more sentences on the board and say:
“Now, knowing this, can you put these two examples under the correct headline?”
If you run too much, your muscles hurt.
If you eat too much chocolate, you’ll have a stomach-ache.
When they have chosen, I’ll say if they have done it correctly or not.
T: So, now, I have brought separately the different components of the conditional sentences. Looking at the examples, can you match them correctly to work out the structure?
IF IF SIMPLE PRESENT SIMPLE PRESENT
WILL SIMPLE PRESENT
The result should be:
Zero conditional > If + Present simple + present simple.
First conditional > If + present simple + will
I’ll ask them to copy everything on their notebooks.
Transition: Now, let’s classify sentences.
Development
Activity 1 (5’)
Purpose: to review conditionals zero and first.
I’ll hand out copies of the following examples of conditional sentences. They will have to write zero conditional or first conditional next to them.
Write zero conditional (ZC) or first conditional (FC) next to the following sentences.
1. You get fat, if you eat too much. __________ 2. If you don’t use sun cream, you’ll get sunburnt. __________ 3. You’ll have a toothache, if you eat too many sweets. __________ 4. If you do exercise, you feel happier. __________ 5. If you get wet, you’ll catch a cold. __________ 6. You go to the doctor, if you feel sick. __________
Comentario [A19]: What kind of approach is this? Why have you chosen it?
When everyone has finished, we’ll correct it orally.
Transition: very good! Now, let’s keep on practising.
Activity 2 (10’) Purpose: to keep on practising zero and first conditional.
I’ll give students a copy of the following parts of sentences. They will have to complete them
using zero or first conditional and their own ideas. They can do it in pairs.
Using your own ideas, complete the following sentences with zero and first conditional.
1. If you obey the rules,_________________

If I were you, I would tell him
the truth.
Teaching approach
The lesson will be organized through PPP procedure.
Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
Students will practise speaking skills and use of English through written exercises.
Materials
Board, chalk, tape, posters of the comics, students’ book (Champions 3), speaking cards and
copies for exercise 3.
Seating Arrangement
They will sit facing the board.
Possible problems/difficulties and their possible solutions during class
In case we have some spare time I’ll add another question to the closure activity: What would you do if there was a zombie apocalypse?
Assessment
I’ll assess their use of the target structure during the different exercises.
Routine 5’
I will say ‘hello!’ to students. Then I’ll copy the date on the board.
We’ll check the exercises from the previous class. We’ll employ oral peer assessment. A student will say their answer and the rest will say if it’s correct or not.
Transition: Very good! Now, let’s review the conditionals from the previous class.
Warm-up 5’ Purpose: to review zero and first conditional.
I’ll give them a piece of paper. Half of the students will have to write an “if” clause (I’ll
demonstrate with an example on the board), the other half will have to write a main clause
(Again, I’ll demonstrate on the board).
When everyone has finished the students of the ‘if’ clause will pair with the ‘main clause’ ones.
And they will read the result out loud.
Comentario [A24]: How?
Comentario [A25]: Cannot you foresee any posible problem?
Comentario [A26]: Wrong Word. Check meaning.
Comentario [A27]: How are you planning to choose students? Can you think of any innovative strategy to put into practice for this stage? You know that checking homework at the very beginning of the lesson may have its pros and cons…
Comentario [A28]: Is it a meangingul transition? What context are you using?
Comentario [A29]: about???
Comentario [A30]: Will the sentences make sense?
Transition: Very good! Now let’s see second conditional this time.
Presentation 10’ Purpose: to introduce second conditional.
I’ll stick the following comics on the board:
I’ll ask two volunteers to read them.
T: Very well, now can you tell me what kind of situations are these?
Ss: imaginary/unreal/advice/no answer.
T: Very good! They are imaginary situations; they do not happen in real life. And the third one
is a piece of advice. This is what we use the second conditional for.
Comentario [A31]: Is this relevant/appealing for students? You may ask student if they like reading comics, for instance. The transition ought to focus on the context you are providing, not on the language structures you are trying to teach by means of that context.
Comentario [A32]: Before asking this question, you should work on the meaning of each comic strip. If not, you are just using the input to work on a grammar structure – you should exploit resources to the full.
I will write another example on the board:
If I were you, I would tell him the truth.
T: OK. We have three parts in this sentence. Can you tell which are they?
Ss: (expected answer) IF+ PAST SIMPLE + WOULD / No answer
T: Very good! We use IF+ PAST SIMPLE + WOULD (I’ll write this on the board) to form a
conditional sentence. Can you provide some other examples?
Transition: Excellent! Now let’s start working! Open your books onat page 33.
Development
Activity 1 (10’) Purpose: To practise second conditional.
T: Now, we are going to practice some grammar. On exercise 1 you have to choose the correct
option.
We’ll check their answers.
On exercise 2, you have to complete the sentences with the correct form of the verb.
We’ll check their answers.
And finally on exercise 3, you have to use the words in the box in the correct form to complete
the dialogues.
Comentario [A33]: Context?
Comentario [A34]: We usually divide Conditional sentences into two parts.
Comentario [A35]: What would you do if they cannot come up with an accurate answer? To make it clearer, you may write the examples from the comic strips, one below the other, so that it is easier for them to spot the structures involved.
Comentario [A36]: So far you have exposed learners to examples of the Second Conditional in the affirmative form. Be attentive, because there are some questions in the exercises they have to complete. You should draw their attention to the necessary changes they have to make.
Transition: Now, let’s talk about imaginary situations.
Activity 2 (15’) Purpose: To practisce speaking with the target structure.
I’ll take these cards. I’ll ask students to take one, read it out loud and answer them. The rest of
the students can also give their answer if they wish to.
What would be the very
first thing to buy if you
won the lottery?
Where would you live if
you could live anywhere
in the world?
If you went on a desert
island, what three
books/films would you

Transition: Excellent! Now let’s use the second conditional to give some advice!
Activity 3 (10’) Purpose: To use the second conditional to give advice.
I’ll give them a copy of the following exercise:
Read the problems. Then, using the second conditional, write a sentence giving a piece of

Comentario [A41]: At this stage, it is important you monitor them so that they realize you are available for them.
Comentario [A42]: Will you tell them this? You may model the activity first, so as to highlight the structure they are supposed to use.
Transition: Very good! Now, let’s keep on practising.
Presentation 5’ Purpose: To use the second conditional to give advice.
I’ll give them a copy of the following exercise:
T: You’ll have to give some advice for these problems. Let’s see an example:
I’ll write on the board:
I’m late for work. My boss is mad at me.
If you woke up earlier, your boss wouldn’t be angry.
Read the problems. Then, using the second conditional, write a sentence giving a piece of
advice.
6. I feel really bad. I’ve got a toothache.
_______________________________________________
7. I failed at the maths test. My mum is mad at me.
_______________________________________________
8. My best friend lied to me. I’m very angry with her.
_______________________________________________
9. I have a great party tonight. I haven’t got anything to wear.
_______________________________________________
10. I broke my new mobile phone. My father is going to kill me.
_______________________________________________
We’ll check it orally.
Transition: Very good! Now, open your books at page 34.
Development
Activity 1 (5’) Purpose: pre-reading activity.
I’ll write three options on the board:
a) An online newsletter
b) An official medical website
c) An advice site
T: look at the text on page 34. What kind of website is it? (pointing to the three options)
Ss: It’s an advice site.
Comentario [A43]: Careful with this example. Conditional Type 3 would be much more appropriate. You may encourage them to use the structure If I were you…
T: Very good! Have you ever written to a site like this one?
Ss: Yes/No.
T: What do you do whenever you have a problem?}
Ss: (open answer)
Transition: OK, now let’s read the text.
Activity 2 (10’) Purpose: while-reading activity.
T: You’ll read the text and you’ll find the answers to the questions in exercise 2. Comentario [A44]: Will you go over the questions so as to clarify meaning, in order to check understanding?
We’ll check it orally.
Transition: OK, have you got any opinions on these problems?
Activity 3 (5’) Purpose: Post-reading exercise.
T: Have you got any other advice for these people?
Ss: (open answer)
T: Have you ever had any similar problem? What did you do?
Ss: (open answer)
Transition: Now, let’s learn some expressions to give advice.
Activity 4 (2’) Purpose: To learn some new expressions to give advice.
I’ll write the following expressions on the board.
…is/are a great way to…
I’m sure…
You should…
You shouldn’t
Why don’t you…?
T: Now, can you look for examples of these structures in the text?
Ss: They’re a great way to make friends. / I’m sure they can help. / You should tell him that you
need your own space. / You shouldn’t be angry with your brother. /Why don’t you ask him
what he’d like to do?
T: Very good!
Transition: Now, let’s use these expressions to give advice to the people on page 35.
Activity 5 (5’) Purpose: to give advice using the expressions learnt. (Pre-writing)
T: Let’s read the following problems.
We read and analyse vocabulary in case they need to.
T: Now, using the expressions we learnt. Can you give some advice to these people?
Ss: (open answer)
Transition: Very good! Now let’s put those ideas on paper!
Activity 6 (15’) Purpose: to write a short answer to the problems above, using the structures and expressions
learnt.
T: Now, using the ideas you have, you’ll choose Mia or Prash and you’ll write a reply giving
them some advice. You can use the texts on page 34, the expressions learnt and, of course,
you can ask me anything you want to know.

Closure 10’ Purpose: to give a closure to the lesson.
T: Look at this sentence. It’s in second conditional.
If I had the money, I would buy a big house. (I’ll write it one the board.)
T: The idea is that you read and one of you, using the main clause, will invent another
sentence. When you are done, a classmate does the same with the sentence you have made
up and so on. For example…
If I had the money, I would buy a big house. (I’ll write it one the board.)
If I bought a big house, I would have lots of dogs.
If I had lots of dogs, I would spend a lot of money.
We’ll do this exercise until each of the students has participated.

Teaching approach
The lesson will be organized through PPP procedure.
Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how?
Students will practise listening by doing a worksheet of the song ‘Grenade’ by Bruno Mars.
Materials
Board, chalk, tic-tac-toe poster, worksheet of the song, CD player and song.
Seating Arrangement
They will sit facing the board.
Possible problems/difficulties and their possible solutions during class
They may say that they don’t understand the lyrics of the song. I’ll tell them to pay attention and that there’s no need to understand every single word, they just have to focus on the target words.
We’ll also work out the meaning of the lyrics.
Assessment
I’ll assess students on their listening skills through the song worksheet.
Routine 5’
Purpose: to generate a proper environment to learn.
I will say ‘hello!’ to students. I’ll copy the date on the board and then I’ll proceed to hand out their tests.
Transition: As you know this is my last class with you. So we’re going to have some fun!
Warm-up 10’
Purpose: To review should/shouldn’t.
I’ll stick a tic-tac-toe grid on the board.
T: OK. Form two groups. We’re playing tic-tac-toe. I think you all know this game, but today, it has got another difficulty. In order to choose a square to draw ‘X’ or ‘O’, you have to make a sentence using should or shouldn’t correctly.
For example, suppose you choose a square that says “I’ve got a stomachache”. You’ll say, “You shouldn’t eat too much chocolate next time.”
If the sentence is correct you can draw ‘X’ or ‘O’. The first team to have four Xs or Os in a row wins.
Comentario [A65]: What are the pros and cons of giving them their tests at the very beginning of the lesson? Won´t you provide them any kind of feedback?
Comentario [A66]: Nice idea!

Link to the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6iYWJxHqs
I’ll give them a copy of the worksheet of the song.
T: Do you know Bruno Mars?
Ss: Yes/no.
T: Do you like it?
Ss: Yes/no.
T: OK. Today we’re listening to and working with the song called ‘Grenade’. Do you know it?
Ss: yes/no.
T: Very well. As you can see, there are various exercises on the sheet. The first three exercises are are meant to be done while listening to the song. Let’s read the lyrics… (We read it and work out the meaning of unknown words)
T: Great. Now, on the first exercise you have to complete that part of the lyrics with the words you have in the box. On exercise 2, you have to listen and put the lines in the correct order. And in exercise three, you’ll listen to find the mistakes.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand every word. You just try to focus on the words you need to complete the tasks. And if you can’t do it, don’t worry. We’ll play the song one more time then.
1. Fill in the gaps with the words in the box.

Comentario [A69]: him
Comentario [A70]: How will you check understanding of the instructions?
Black, black, black and blue, hug me 'til I'm numb
Tell the doctor I said, hey, when you get back to where you're from
Wise woman, kind woman, that's just what you are, yeah
You'll shout in my face then rip the seats out my car
If my house was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me break down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a saint
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, lady
3. Correct the mistakes.
Gave you all I had […] I'd catch a grenade for ya […]
But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya […]

Comentario [A71]: One exercise is related to vocabulary, and the other to grammar. You should work on one first, and then move on to the other one.
Activity 3 (10’)
Purpose: To practisce speaking by giving opinions on the song.
T: Now, I’ve got some questions for you about the song.
I’ll ask students the following questions:
1. What does the singer mean when he says “I'd catch a grenade for ya”?
2. Mention three more things he would be willing to do for her.
3. What does he expect from the girl in return?
4. What does he accuse the girl of doing?
5. What adjectives would he use to describe her? Provide evidence from the lyrics.
6. What adjectives would you use to describe the singer?
Transition: Very good! Now, do you like paper airplanes?
Closure 5’ Purpose: to give a closure to the lesson
T: OK, now do make an airplane. We’ll play in two teams. I’ll show you a picture, and one of
your team will have to say the word correctly to have the chance to throw the airplane and
win points for the group. (I’ll draw different targets on the board with different points.) If you
hit the targets you win those points, and if you hit the board you get five points. The group
with more points wins.
Comentario [A72]: Lovely!
