Do you have such problems in your life? What problems do you have?Give students about 2 minutes to talk about the problems they have in their life. Then let them turn to page 10 and look at activity 1a.T: Here are some problems in activity 1a. Read the problems and tell if they are serious or not serious. Then put them in the right column below. Then play the tape, let students listen and circle the problems they hear in activity 1a. Then check the answer and let them repeat the problems after the tape.T: In the conversation, a girl talks about her problems and another girl gives her advice. Lets listen and write down the sentences of giving advice. Play the tape again, give time for students to write down the advice. Stop for answers. And play the tape more times if necessary. Then let them say the sentences and write them on the board.Sentences of giving advice:Maybe you should buy some new clothes. Maybe you could get a part-time job in the evenings. You shouldnt argue with your parents. You should talk about your problems. Then make a summary of the functional structure. T: Look at the blackboard, which words are commonly used in these sentences?Ss: Should, shouldnt and could. T: Yes, you are right. We use them to give advice. There are more structures that we can use to give advice. Ill write them on the board. Write “Why dont you .” and “Why not .”on the board. Then present a problem to them, and let students give advice using “should” or “could”. T: At the beginning of the class, I told you about my problem. My neighbor played his CD too loud and I couldnt sleep well. Now could you give me some advice?Ss: You could talk to him about that.Maybe you should call the police.Step II Pair workThen let students work in pairs and practice talking about problems and giving advice. T: Now whod like to read the conversation in activity 1c? Ask two students to read the sample conversation and then let students make similar conversations with the problems in activity 1a. Sample conversation:A: Whats wrong?B: I argued with my best friend.A: Maybe you should say sorry to him. Then let students do more practice about giving advice. Instructions:1. Make a two-column chart on the board with the heading Problem at the top of column 1 and the heading Advice at the top of column 2.2. Divide the whole class into two groups. Let each student from group A writes a problem in the first column. ProblemsAdvice3. Then write the words could, should, and shouldnt on the board next to the chart. Read the problems to the class and ask students in group B to give advice using the words given. e.g.T: I argued with my best friend. What should I do?S: You could / should say sorry to him.Or let students practice in pairs like that.Language tips:Serious problem is a very bad problem, a very big problem.

He told me that he wouldnt do that again. I had a good sleep last night. So thank you for your advice. Yesterday, I asked you to write your problems on the paper. Now I will collect your paper. Collect the paper; choose some samples and read the problems one by one to the class. Let students give advice by saying “Maybe he or she should/could .” to review the target language. For example, teacher reads, “This Friday is my mothers birthday, but I dont have money to buy a gift for her.” Then a student may offer his/her advice like, “Maybe he/she could sing a song for his/her mother.”Step II ListeningThis activity provides listening practice using the target language. T: Now you will hear a conversation between Peter and a friend. Peter talks about his problems and his friend gives him advice. Listen and circle the word “could” or “should” you hear.Play the recording for the first time and students circle the words Peters friend uses to give advice. Check the answers. Then play the recording again, let students repeat the sentences of giving advice. Then move on to activity 2b.T: Now look at the sentences in activity 2b. There are two groups of sentences. The group on the left are sentences of advice, and the group on the right are reasons that Peter doesnt like the advice. We will listen to the recording again, draw lines to match the advice with the reasons. Play the recording again. Then check the answers. Step III GroupworkIn this step, students will do some oral practice with the target language. Point to the example in the sample dialogue. Ask two students to read the conversation to the class. Ask students to role play the conversation between Peter and his friend using the two sets of sentences in activity 2b. Check the answers by calling on different pairs to say their conversation to the class. Step IV Grammar focusReview the grammar box and give a summary.T: These days, we learned how to use “could” and “should” to give advice. In fact, there is a little difference between these two words. “Could” is a less serious word than “should”. We use the word “could” when we are not sure of our advice. We use “should” when we are very sure of our advice. So you should remember this rule when you give advice. By the way, what do we say when we ask for advice?Ss: What should I do?T: Right! But we dont say “what could I do”. Remember? Ok, so much for today. Language tips:surprise v. to make someone feel surprised His strange question surprised her. His death surprised me. call sb up (informal; especially American English) to telephone someoneHe called me up to tell me about it.Ill call you up later. on the phone 用电话交谈，在通话You cant see her now, she is on the phone.
