Introduction

1. Greeting
2. Warming-up | 3-5 minutes

EXTRA ACTIVITY

Books closed. For recapping words from the vocabulary lesson, I divide the class in two teams I need two students.

Your task is to come to the board and sit on chairs facing the class.

I write up a word from WORD STORE 4A and 4B on the board so that the class can see it, but you cannot.

The teams have to describe the word without saying it. The first team to correctly guess the word wins a point..

WHILE-LISTENING|15minutes                                                                                                                                   Exercise 2 ( individually)

-         Before listening the audio, read the statements so you know what are listening out for.

-         Listen to five teenagers describing their rooms. Are statements 1–5 true or false?

1. Speaker 1 lives in a quiet house. (F)
2. Speaker 2 isn't like her sister.  (T)
3. Speaker 3 doesn't like music.  (F)
4. Speaker 4 is often out.  (T)
5. Speaker 5 never invites her friends round.(F)

Speaker 1: I have a big family - there are seven of us in this house, and we're all very noisy people.It's okay when you're feeling sociable, but sometimes I want to be on my own and have some quiet time.So I shut my bedroom door, put my headphones on and listen to music or chat with my friends.I have a sign on the door that says 'Keep Out' and it's not just for my parents.My brothers and sisters are not welcome either.I don't let anybody in.My room is a calm place for me to get away from other people.

Speaker 2: I like my room to be clean and tidy but, unfortunately it's my sister's room too, and she's very disorganised.She says it's because she's artistic, and artistic people are untidy!I think she's just lazy.When we were younger, it was fun because we used to play together and chat until midnight.But now she doesn't spend much time at home - she's older than meand she has a really good social life.I stay in a lot.So I have the room to myself most of the time.

Speaker 3: I think my room reflects my personality.My parents let me decorate it in my favourite colour, so I painted the walls black and put different coloured lights everywhere.I love making things - I use my room as a kind of studio.I paint, write music lyrics.On my computer, I make music mixes and create light shows to go with them.It's awesome.When my friends have a party, they always ask me to do the music.

Speaker 4: I like my room but there isn't much furniture - just a desk, a wardrobe and a bed.I've got a couple of posters of my favourite artists on the wall - Klimt and Picasso.I don't really spend much time there.I'm very sporty, so I'm usually out playing football or at the gym.When I'm at home, I either watch television in the sitting room, or I have meals with the rest of my family in the kitchen.I usually use my desk in my room for my studies, or sometimes I study downstairs.

Speaker 5: My room isn't anything special but for some reason my friends really like coming round here.I think it's because my parents are cool - well, they're usually at work so it's just my grandmother here, and she can't hear very well.So we can make lots of noise and play music really loud.My room is a kind of meeting place for all my friends - we chat, play computer games and decide what to do at the weekend.

Karen

So welcome to my bedroom.I want to show you my three most treasured possessions.That's my wardrobe over there, and on top of it there is my collection of animals.They're fluffy toys and I've had them since I was a baby.The big lion is probably my favourite, but I love them all.Next to my bed there's a bedside table, and my favourite bedside lamp is on it.It's special to me because my father brought it back from Africa.Opposite my bed you can see my bookshelves - they're full of magazines, books and DVDs.But on the bottom shelf, I've got a collection of shells - these are very important to me because they are souvenirs from all the holidays I've had since I was five years old.
