Steps:
1 Show Ss the picture. Different people are doing different things at Jake’s surprise party.
2 Let Ss find Emily. Ask the question: Is Emily eating a sandwich? (-No.) Is the first sentence true of false? (-false)
3 Tell that Ss should do the rest of the exercise as fast as possible. Judge if these things true or false. Write T or F.
4 Check the answers with the class. If the answer is true, sit well. If the answer is false, stand up.
Guided questions: 2) Is Jenny writing an email? What is she doing? She is reading.
3) Is Jarred singing? 4) Is Suzy wearing sunglasses. 5) Is Simon enjoying the party? What is he doing? He is standing at the door. How is he feeling? He seems to be worried. 6) Are Jake and Rachel dancing? 7) Is Martin taking a selfie?

Present Continuous
1 We use the present continuous to talk about things that are happening now / usually happen.
2 We form the present continuous with to be / to have and the –ing form of the verb.
Explanation of Present Continuous uses
Steps:
1 Guide students to observe the words in green boxes and tell them they will learn a new tense this class.
2 Tell that it’s present continuous.
3 Guide students to choose the correct option in red to complete the rules.
4 How do we spell the Present Continuous Tense when we add -ing to the verb?

Spelling Rules
Most verbs
Verbs ending in a silent –e
Verbs with one syllable, ending in one vowel and one consonant
Verb with two or more syllables, ending with one vowel and one consonant
-ing
double the last consonant and add -ing
watch - watching
find - finding
write - writing
come - coming
put - putting
run - running
double the last consonant and add –ing if the last syllable is stressed.
begin - beginning
prefer – preferring
forget - forgetting
add –ing when the last syllable is not stressed
open - opening
listen – listening
add to the verb
take off , then add -ing
-e
Present Continuous spelling rules
Steps:
1 Have Ss look at the examples ‘watch – watching; find - finding ’, and conclude that for most verbs, add –ing to the base verb.
2 Have Ss look at the examples ‘write – writing; come - coming ’, and conclude ‘When the verb ends with a silent e, drop the e and add –ing.’
3 Have Ss look at the examples ‘put – putting; run - running ’.
Look at the verb put. How many syllables does it have? (-one) Letter u says /ʊ/; it’s a vowel. Letter t says /t/; it’s a consonant (e.g /k/, /p/, /b/, /t/, /d/). Verb ‘put’ has one syllable and ends with one vowel and one consonant.
The verb ‘run’ also has one syllable and ends in a vowel and a consonant.
Guide them to conclude that ‘For short, one-syllable verbs, that end with vowel + consonant (VC), we must double the last consonant and then add –ing.’
4 Have Ss look at the examples ‘begin – beginning; prefer – preferring; forget - forgetting’.
Do the three words end with a vowel and a consonant? Yes.
But here is a little bit difference. How many syllables does each word have? ( begin-2; prefer-2; forget-2) These three words has more than one syllable.
Is the last syllable stressed? be-gin, pre-fer, for-get. Yes, remember, the last syllable is stressed.
How to make the present continuous form? Double the last consonant and add –ing.
5 Have Ss look at the examples ‘open – opening; listen – listening’. They have more than one syllable, ending with one vowel and one consonant.
However, is the last syllable stressed? O-pen, lis-ten. No.
When the last syllable is not stressed, just add –ing.
6 Review the spelling rules.

CARD
Game rules - optional
1 Put the kids into groups of three or pairs.
2 Give one set of cards for each group (seen in teaching material 2). Every group will get the following cards with ‘Yes, I am.’ ‘Yes, he is.’ ‘Yes, she is.’ ‘Yes, they are.’ ‘Yes, it is.’ ‘Yes, we are.’ ‘No, I am not. (I’m not)’ ‘No, he isn’t. (he is not)’ ‘No, she isn’t.’(she is not.) ‘No, it isn’t. (it is not)’ ‘No, we aren’t. (we are not)’ ‘No, they aren’t. (they are not) ’ There are 12 kinds of cards in total.
3 The members of the groups deal out the cards evenly.
4 The object of the game is to ask each other questions by using present continuous in order to elicit exactly the answers on the cards.
e.g. a person A with the card “No, I am not.” asks a question: “Are you sleeping?” If the answer is “No, I am not.” the first person can get rid of the card.
5 Then the other person B asks a question and tries to get the exact answer on the card. Students take turns ask and answer.
6 The winner of the game is the one who can discard first or who has the least cards.
7 Set a time limit: 5 minutes. T walks around the classroom to provide help.

Reading Part 1 – Tips
Text Option B

A word or phrase in the text might have the same meaning as a different word or phrase in the option.
Tip 2: Look for words or phrases in the options and the text that have the same meaning.
Tips:
Look at the example, point out that what makes the task more difficult is that part 1 uses different ways to say the same thing (paraphrase). A word or phrase in the text might have the same meaning as a different word or phrase in the option.
Tell that when doing the task, look for words or phrases in the options and the text that have the same meaning.
