buying a car. I really need something to drive to the
university and so I can drive my friends around.” “So do you
need help looking around?” “Well, actually, I think I’ve

older.” “How old are the cars?” “The sports car is a 1989

give them.
Give students poster-sized pieces of paper to write on
in large letters, one paper to each team for each category. Tell
students to organize what they write into nouns, adjectives and
verbs E.g. Rumah: kamar mandi, kamar tidur, halaman, alamat,
pohon.,/ kosong, besar, kecil, luas, tradisional, lumayan/
berwarna….., hidup, tidur, makan, mandi. Collect the papers and
hang them on the wall for all to see after each category to
identify which team has the most words for that category.
(Categories can include: makanan, pendidikan, kota, transportasi,
etc.)
Activity 2 – Listening: 10 min
Ask students to listen to the soundfile077-01 and identify which
topic is being discussed and how they know After students have
identified the people are discussing a car, elicit what
categories/characteristics were discussed. Tell students to
listen again and take notes for each of the categories. After they
have listened, show students pictures of two cars. Elicit one or
two examples from the students comparing the cars. Ask them to
discuss which car the student should buy and why.
Activity 3 – Controlled practice: 15 min
Give pairs of students the pictures of other items and ask them to
compare the differences and to make at least three sentences
comparing the two items.: e.g. Mobile yang merah adalah lebih
murah daripada mobile yang biru. They should then discuss which
one is better for different people: sepeda motor: orang yg muda/
orang yg mau jalan-jalan/ keluarg yg beranak 2 orang.
Activity 4 –Debate: 15 min
Divide students into two groups. Choose one category where the
students had a lot of vocabulary (e.g.). transportasi. Ask them
to think of the categories that can be compared (e.g. cost, speed,
safety, comfort)
Tell group A to make sentences about why
raveling by plane is better and have group B prepare sentences for
why traveling by train is better. Help students with the grammar.
Combine students in pairs A/B to discuss their ideas.
