Rules
Warming Up---Whispering Dictation
Each group selects a Speaker, who needs to stand in the back of the classroom and to be responsible for checking the words given by the teacher. Then each group selects a Writer, who needs to stand in front of the blackboard and to write down the delivered words correctly. The other students in the group are Messagers, who are responsible for passing the words seen by the Speaker to the Writer in turn. The team that writes correctly and the most words in the shortest time within the limited time will win and will get a chance to skip homework for this term.

how to make suggestions
Listen again and find out the sentences patterns we can use when making suggestions
Andy: Hello!
Clara: Hi, Andy! This is Clara. Matt just called me. He said he broke his leg and couldn’t make our trip to London this week.
Andy: What a shame! He’s been looking forward to it for ages. Why don’t we wait until he’s better?
Clara: He said we should go without him. It will take quite a while for him to get well again. He doesn’t want us to give up our holiday because of him.
Andy: But Matt is our friend. He needs our comfort and support. Let’s think about ways to cheer him up!
Clara: You’re right! We could send him photos of the places we visit.
Andy: We could, but that might make him feel even worse. I want to make him laugh.
Clara: How about sending him funny postcards from every place we visit?
Andy: Maybe, but postcards can take days to arrive. How about having a video chat with him wherever we go? That way he can see everything, too.
Clara: That’s a good idea. But you aren’t allowed to take videos in some places. OK, I’ve got it – why don’t we take Matt with us?
Andy: What about his broken leg?
Clara: Not the real Matt. Let’s make a “Flat Matt”!
Andy: What?!
Clara: We can print Matt’s photo on a life-sized cardboard cutout. We’ll then take it with us and whenever we take photos in London…
Andy: [interrupts] Matt will be in the photos, too, as if he were there with us.
Clara: That’s right! “Flat Matt” will go to London with us, and the real Matt will laugh at the photos.
Andy: OK, Clara. Let’s do it!
