1. Does he take money to buy things?

3. Does Danny buy the supplies he wants?

If some students can’t answer the questions well, don't lose your temper. We can go on the next step.

Step 4. Read the text and check the answers to the listening part. Ask the students to find more questions about Danny. If they find any, they can ask any student. If one can’t give the right answer, others can help him or her.

The questions can be like this:

Teaching Procedure:

Step 1. Come to “THINK ABOUT IT”.

Discuss the questions in groups, talk about the feeling that you must wait. Where must you wait? Give examples.

S1: When I am ill, I must go to see a doctor. I must wait my turn.

S2. When I buy my breakfast, I must wait in queue because everyone is in a hurry. They all want to go to school or work earlier.

S3: When I buy something in shops I must wait. Because the shop near my home is so good that many people buy things there, I must wait.

The teacher sums what the students say.:

We live in a big world. We must be polite when we buy something. That’s a good manner. We can’t jump the queue. We should think more about the others.

Step 2. Look at the picture of Danny. What is he doing? Do you know his feeling now?

Talk about the picture in pairs. Then let some students demonstrate their ideas in front of the class.

Step 7. PROJECT

We can finish the project in three lessons.

In the first lesson, divide the class into several groups. Discuss what you want to produce in your group. What materials do you need? After everyone has demonstrated his or her ideas, choose the best one to produce.

In the second lesson, write advertising for your product. Think about all kinds of words or pictures to match it. Choose the best and design a complete one.

In the third lesson, let the student show the product to the class. At the same time, introduce its use and how to use it. Now you present your ad to the class. Does if have a good profit? Does everyone want to buy it? What does everyone buy it for?

If your product or ad needs to be changed or added something interesting, do you want to change it. Why or why not.

Summary:

We are living in a new world. All around us are all kinds of ads. We can see them on TV, radios and computers. When we go to school, we can see the names of the shops which also attracts many customers in many ways. Choose the best one to present it to the class. Why do you think it is good? What do the others think about it? Leave the homework to them. Let the students to observe with their own eyes. They will find more interesting things.
