world. Read it and then do the tasks that follow.
Task 1: gap filling based on word meaning
guessing.
Instruction: the words in the box all appear in

the passage. Fill in each blank with one of them.
There are more words than needed.
-asks Ss to read the passage quickly and stop at
the lines that contain words appearing in box to
guess their meanings.

based on the contexts in the sentences and the
components of words.

correctly by asking them to provide the
Vietnamese equivalents to the words.
-next, T instructs Ss to use some strategies to do
task 1:
+ (1) Ss should read through the sentences
provided in the task to identify the part of speech
of the word to fill in the each blank.
Eg: in sentence 1, the word to fill in should be
an adjective
In sentence 2, a verb
………
+ (2) read the first sentence carefully to
