Step 1 Vocabulary Link

Introduce the idea of online pen pals --- new friends that correspond by e-mail. Ask if any students have online pen pals. If there are some students having online pen pals, ask one or two to introduce their pen pals to the class. Present the vocabulary. Have students fill in the information. Check answers. Next have students work in pairs. If there is one student left, ask him or her to join a pair to make a group. Have students interview each other and fill in the information.

Step 2 Listening

Familiarize students with the new words. Ask them to read the new words aloud after you. Review the idea of online pen pals. Tell students to listen and write their answers. Play the recording and check answers. Listen again and answer the questions about the people. Check the correct box.

Step 3 Speaking

Ask students how they greet people in English and direct their attention to the useful expressions. Introduce the situation and present the conversation. Ask students to guess

whether they’re meeting f or the first time. Listen again and then have them practice the conversation with a partner. Direct students’ attention to the useful expressions in the box and have them read these expressions aloud with their parents. Give students one minute to prepare their own information. Then have students practice the conversation with a partner using their information. Invite pairs to present their conversations to the class.

Step 4 Communication

Go over the list of questions. Place students in groups of five or six. Have one student in each group start to ask another group member the list of questions until he or she gets the answer to the follow-up question. Then the second student goes on asking another group member the list of questions until he or she answers Yes. Then ask a follow-up question. Repeat the cycle until all the group members have finished.

Step 5 Global Viewpoints

Before they watch, say the list of vocabulary items aloud as students repeat for pronunciation practice. If necessary, explain the meaning of the words. Explain to students that they are going to watch several people introducing themselves or others. While watch for the first time, have students circle the correct answers and check together. Then watch again and ask them to write the letter of each statement next to the name of the person it matches. Check answers together.

Step 6 City Living Sun-hee’s favorite cousin

Introduce the main characters and minor characters to the students. Then ask them: Do you have family or friends you haven’t seen for a long time? What do you think they look like now? Have students look at the pictures and read the story line aloud or to themselves. Let students predict what they think happens in the episode. Have students use the information from the photos and captions to complete the sentences. Check answers. Then watch the video and check the sentences that are true and correct the false sentences. Play the video for the second time so that students can correct the false ones. After that, direct students’ attention to the useful expressions used in the video. Explain to the students that items in the Everyday English box are expressions often used in conversation. Give them a certain time to study these expressions. Watch the video again and fill in the blanks with the information they hear.
