Teaching Methods Preference Ranking & Discussion Listening Comprehension Training Advice - Giving Practice Teaching Aids Textbook, blackboard, multimedia, audio player Teaching Procedure I. Warm - up & Stress - Relieving Talk (7 mins) Daily Question Ask students: “What do you do when you feel stressed? Like before exams or arguments with friends? ” Let 3 - 4 students share, e.g., “I play sports to relax.”, “I talk to my mom.” Lead - in to 1a Say: “Today we’ll list activities that help lower stress. Let’s see which ones you like most!” II. 1a Activity – Stress - Relieving Activity Ranking (8 mins) Instruction Show 1a activities: play sports, hang out with friends, talk to parents, spend time alone, play computer games, read books, watch movies, other. Tell students: “Rank them [1–8], 1 being your favorite stress - reliever. Write ‘other’ if you have your own activity.” Student Activity Students rank individually. Then, turn to partners (1b) and share: “My favorite is play sports (rank 1) because it makes me feel energetic. What’s yours?”. Walk around to listen, encouraging use of “I like... because...”, e.g., “I rank ‘talk to parents’ as 2 because they give good advice.” Invite 2 - 3 pairs to share their top 3 activities, writing some on the board (e.g., “play sports – relax body; talk to parents – get support”). III. 1c & 1d Activities – Listening for Problems & Advice (18 mins) Pre - listening (1c Preparation) Introduce: “Wei Ming has stress problems. Let’s listen to his conversation with Alice. What problems does he talk about? Look at 1c’s list: parents’ pressure, not enough sleep, not enough free time, fight with parents, compete with classmates.” Predict: Ask students “Which problems do you think Wei Ming has? Why?”. While - listening (1c & 1d) Play 1c audio. Tell students: “Listen and check (✓) the problems Wei Ming talks about.” Play the audio again for 1d: “Now listen to Alice’s advice. Fill in the blanks in 1d.” Pause after each play to let students write. Walk around to help, pointing to key words like “pressure”, “compete”. Post - listening Check 1c answers: Let students say which problems are checked (e.g., “My parents give me a lot of pressure about school.”, “I don’t have enough free time.”, “I have to compete with my classmates at school.”). Check 1d answers together: Although you may be unhappy with your parents, you should talk to them. Ask them why they give you so much pressure. Life shouldn’t just be about grades. Free time activities like sports and hanging out with friends are important, too. You shouldn’t compete with your classmates to get better grades. You should all be helping each other to improve. Explain new words: “pressure” (stress from others), “compete” (try to win against), “helping each other” (supporting one another). IV. 1e Activity – Giving Advice to Wei Ming (12 mins) Instruction Say: “Now, think about Wei Ming’s problems. What advice would you give him? Talk to your partner. Use ‘I think Wei Ming should... Because...’.” Example: “I think Wei Ming should talk to his parents more often. Because communication can reduce pressure.” Student Activity Students work in pairs. Encourage using 1d’s advice structure and adding personal ideas, like “Although it’s hard, he should compete less and help classmates, so that they can support each other.” Walk around to guide, praising “Good use of ‘although’!” or suggesting “How about advising him to plan free time so that he has time to relax?”. Invite 3 - 4 pairs to share their advice. Write creative ones on the board, e.g., “Wei Ming should join a sports club so that he can lower stress and make friends.” V.
