unselfishness. It tells us/me that a person
who is concerned only with his/her own
interests and feelings can’t be a true friend.
(paragraph 2)
2. Because they take up an interest with
enthusiasm, but they are soon tired of it, and
they feel the attraction of some new object.
(line 2-3, paragraph 3)
3. The third quality for true friendship is
loyalty. It tells us/me that the 2 friends must
be loyal to each other, and they must know
each other so well that there can can be no
suspicions between them. (line 1-3,
paragraph 4)
4. Because if not people cannot feel sae
when telling the other their secrets .(line 1-3
, paragraph 5 ) .

6 . The last quality is sympathy . It tell us /
me that to be a true friend one must
sympathise with his / her friend one . Where
there is no mutual sympathy between friends
. there is no true friendsship . (last
paragraph )
* underline the key words. For
instance, in question 1 Ss can

live in Nguyen Cong Tru Residential Area in Hanoi. Her family moved
to Hai Phong in 1985. It is said that Hai Phong people are cold but Ha
is really, really friendly. I first started to get to know her when I was
going on a two day trip to Do Son last year and I didn’t know anybody
there. I gave Ha a ring and she was so friendly, she said, ‘Oh, I’ll come
to visit you.’ So she rode on her motorbike to Do Son and 20 minutes
later she was there. She stayed with me for 2 days. She happened to
know a lot of people there,so she introduced me around and we’ve been
best friends ever since.

Minh was a guitarist. So we worked together a lot. But we also became
friends . Minh has a great sense of humour, he’s very, very funny, and
that’s one of my favourite things about him. And over the years, we
have been through good times and bad times with each other, and that’s
one of the things I like best about him. And we have a lot of the same

three parts : (1) general information about their friend,(2) his /
her physical charateristics and personalities, and(3) what Ss
like about the friend .
Whole class
- T elicits the verb tenses that may be useful when Ss want to
write about when and where they met their friend . In this case ,
Ss may us the simple past tense and past continuous in their
writing . If needed , T may revise the uses of these tenses . T
make clear that :
+ While the past simple is used to talk about an event that
happened and finished in the past , the past continuous is used
to talk about an event that was happening at a specific past time
. We often use the past continuous together whith the past
simple . The past continuous indicates a longer ‘ background’
action or situation ; th simple past refers to a shorter action or
situation that happened in the middle or interruppted it .

became best friends when we were at grade 6 . At that time I
was very bad at English , and it was her who helper me
improve my English . Now Mai lives with their parents in Hai
Ba Trung street .
If I were to describe how she looks , I would say the very pretty
. She has short black hair , brown almond- shaped eyes , a
small nose and a small pointed chin . She is not very tall but
not short either and she is quite slim . She doesn’t like to dress
up so I usually see her wearing jeans and T - shirt or sweater .
She has very nice presonality an a wonderful sense of humor ,
but she can also get a little depressed from time to time . I can
always count on her to be honest and to give me the best
advice .
What I like about Mai is that she has the same hobbies whith
me . We both enjoy music , playing the guitar and singing .
We like going to the cinema but some times can’t agree on
which movie to see . Wtatever we’re doing , it’s always fun to
be with her . In addition , since I am better in math and science
and she is better in English and languages , we can always
help each other if me get confused about a difficult homework
assignment . We are lucky that we complement each other so
well and that we get along so well . I hope that our friendship
will continue and be just as strong after we graduate from high
school . We would like to study at the same university.

PRONUNCIATION
Pronouncing the 2 sounds separately
- T models the 2 sounds / dЗ / and / t∫ / for a few
times and explains the differences in producing them.
+ The phonetic sound / dЗ / is a voiced palatal.
Voiced = vocal cords vibrate while making this sound
palatal = put your tongue behind your top teeth, push
air as you drop your tongue away from the roof of
your mouth.
+ The phonetic sound / t∫ / is an unvoiced fricative
palatal. Unvoiced = vocal cords do not vibrate while
making this sound. Fricative palatal = touch your
tongue to the back of your upper teeth and pull your
tongue away as you push air out of your mouth.
- T palys the tape( or reads) once for SS to hear the
words containing these 2 sounds. Then T plays the
tape (or reads) again and this time asks Ss to repeat
after the tape (or T).
Pronouncing words containing the sounds
- T reads the words in each column all at once.
- T read the words once again, each time with a word
in each column to help distinguish the differences
between the sounds in the words.
- T reads the words and asks Ss to repeat them.
- T asks to practise pronouncing the words in pairs.
- T goes around providing help.
- T asks some Ss to pronounce the words and gives
correction if necessary.
Practising sentences containing the target sounds
- T reads the sentences and asks Ss underline the
words with the sounds and write
/ dЗ / and / t∫ / under them.
- T asks Ss providing the sentences in pairs.
- T goes around to provide help.
- T asks some Ss to read the sentences and gives
feedback.

GRAMMAR

18
a. Presentation
- T writes some sentences on the board and underline
the to- infinitive:
+ I have letters to write.
+ Does he get anything to eat ?
+ There is plenty to do ?
- T asks Ss to comment on the use of to-infinitives in
these examples. T reviews the form and use of to-
infinitives in the examples. T may give Ss the
following handout.
In the examples above the infinitives are used to
replace relative clauses.
1. The infinitive can be placed after
nouns/pronouns to show how they can be used or
what is to be done with them.
+ I have letters to write. = I have letters that I must
write.
+ Does he get anything to eat ? = Does he get
anything that he can eat ?
Similarly with to-infinitives + preposition:
Someome to talk to cushions to sit on a table to write
on a tool to open it with a case to keep my records in
2. Use of passive to-infinitive
+ There is plenty to do =
a. plenty of things we can do
b. plenty of work we must do
In the there + be + noun/pronoun + to-infinitive
construction, when there is an idea of duty, as in (b)
above, a passive to-infinitive is possible: There is a
lot to be done. But the active to-infinitive is more
usual.
- T continues writing some other sentences on the
board:
+ I’m sorry to trouble you.
+ It is easy to please that customer.
+ The pie is too hot to eat.
- T asks some Ss to comment on the examples. T
might explain to Ss that we can put to-infinitive after
adjectives. The form is: adj + to-infinitive; adj +
too/enough + to-infinitive (too before an adj means
excessively; enough after an adj means to the
necessary degree).
- T asks some Ss to give some similar examples.
b) Practise
Exercise 1
- T asks Ss to do Exercise 1 individually and then
compare their answers with another student.
- T calls on some Ss to read out their answers.
- T gives correct answers:
1. Who wants something to eat?
2. I have some letters to write.
3. I am/was delighted to hear the news.
4. My mother has some shopping to do.
5. You always have too much to talk about.

6. It is lovely to see you again.
7. It’s/was too cold to go out.
8. I’m happy to know that you have passed the
exams
2. Infinitive without to (bare infinitive)
a) Presentation
- T calls on some Ss to give out some verbs that are
followed by bare infinitives.
- T may make clear that:
+ We can use a noun or pronoun object + bare
infinitive after verbs of perceptions such as
feel,hear,watch,see,notice,observe,perceive,smell .
The bare infinitive generally refers to the complete
action.
+ We use the bare infinitive after let and make:
Let SO do STH = allow SO to do STH; make SO do
STH = force SO to do STH.
b) Practice
Exercise 2
- T asks Ss to do exercise 2 in pairs. Ss have to
rewrite the sentences by using the words given.
- T asks them to compare answers with another pair.
- T calls on some Ss to go to the board to write their
answers.
- T asks other Ss to feedback and give correct
answers:
1. The police watched them get out of thr car.
2. They let him write a letter to his wife.
3. I heard them talk in the next room.
4. The customs officer made him open the briefcase.
5. The boy saw the cat jump through the window.
6. Do you think the company will make him pay
some extra money.
7. I felt the animal move toward to me.
8. Do you think her parents will let her go on a
picnic.
Production: Story telling
- T prepares a handout with 6 pictures in the right
order. T asks Ss to work in groups of 5 to tell the
story about the crow in the pictures. T gets across to
Ss that they shouls use as many sentences with to-
infinitives and bare-infinitives as possible. The
group which produces the most logical story with
the most appropriate sentences using to-infinitives
and bare-infinitives will be the winner.
- T calls on some groups to tell their story and elicits
feedback from the class.
- T gives final comments and provides correction if
necessary.
Suggested story
A wise crow
A crow hadn’t had anything to drink for a long time.
One day she saw a pitcher. There was a little water
20
in the pitcher, but it was too low for her to reach.
What was she to do ? She tried to break the pitcher
with her beak, and then to overturn it on the ground,
but it was too hard and heavy to do. Then she
thought of a plan. She picked up a number of little
stones and dropped them one by one into the
pitcher. In this way the water was soon raised high
enough for her to easily reach.
