teaching procedures
step 1  warming-up
first, i will use some dialogues to revise the structures ‘ it’s + adj + to do’ and ‘should (shouldn’t) do’. i will talk with my classmates about their summer holiday. for example, i will have a talk like this: how did you spend your summer holiday? how did you feel? the new term begins. what should we do? what shouldn’t we do? what is it important / necessary / useful… for us to do? what isn’t it … for us to do?
