each other, to ask and answer the questions:
What is your name? My name is.....
How are you? I am fine, thank you.

Vocabulary: saying hello
Before the task, T. asks questions about the picture:
- Where are the boy and girl?
- What class are they in?
Then explains that this is their first day at school after the
holidays.
Students start to do the Ex. 1. Complete the dialogue with
the phrases in the box.
Teacher plays an audio recording of the dialogue between
the two students in exercise 2 to check the answers and ask
the students to listen to the pronunciation.
After that, T. divides Ss. in pairs to practice the dialogue.
Ask one partner to read what Max says and the other partner
to read what Lara says. They should pay attention to their
pronunciation and intonation.
T. asks the ss. what other ways of saying hello, and together
discusses other ways of greeting, such as:
- Good morning.
- Good afternoon.
- Good evening.
- It's nice to meet you.

expressions with a similar meaning a–e.
After checking the students' answers, T. explains the
differences of some expressions in the level of formality:
• Hello is a neutral greeting. Hi is more common between
friends.
• Thanks is a more informal way of saying Thank you.
• Bye is a shorter and more informal way of saying
Goodbye.
Grammar: subject pronouns and possessive adjectives
First teacher explains about new grammar and rules that a
subject pronoun comes before a verb, and a possessive
adjective before a noun and gives the examples.
Before the task, T. reads through the sample dialogue and
asks:
- Which words are underlined?
- Which words are in bold?
Then, T. reminds students to use both the sample dialogue
and the words in the box to complete the exercise.
In the last task, students strengthen their understanding of
grammar by choosing the correct option of the subject
pronoun or possessive adjectives.
Before doing the task, T. asks Ss. to identify if the word that
follows the two options in each sentence is a verb or a noun.
After completing the exercise, Ss. should find three other
examples of subject pronouns or possessive adjectives.
Feedback Teacher uses badges to provide feedback to students.

Students like diversity, and they like to see the evaluation of
their work in a visual form. This gives an additional small
advantage that makes their learning a little more
memorable.
