Students discuss the pictures with their groups, then a spokesperson for each group describes the picture to the whole class.

This activity fosters the creativity and imagination of the learners as well as their public speaking skills.

2. Talk for a minute activity

It is a good game for the learners to practice speaking for one minute, share ideas orally in pairs or in groups to give /get information and clarify opinions about certain topics.

In this activityteachers can provide the learners with different topics from the text book that are familiar to them, and already have enough vocabulary to use while speaking. e.g. ( My family , My best friend , My favorite sport, My plans for next week, My free time etc.) then later on,the teacher may ask the learners to choose topics they are interested in speaking and talking about.

One other way of getting students to speak is role-playing. Students pretend they are in various social contexts and have a variety of social roles. In role-play activities, the teacher gives information to the learners such as who they are and what they think or feel. Thus, the teacher can tell the student that You are at the check-in desk and the agent is asking you some questions which you are supposed to give responses to.

* You are at the check-in desk, complete and perform the following dialogue between you and the agent in front of the class.

You: ....

Agent: Good morning! Where are you flying today?

Agent: May I have your passport, please?

You: ....

Agent: Are you checking any luggage?

You: ....

Agent: Would you like an aisle or a window seat?

Agent: Here is your boarding pass. Well be boarding at gate 6 at nine forty-five.

Your seat number is 25C. Have a pleasant flight.

You: ....

2. Interviews

Students can conduct interviews on selected topics with various people. It is a good idea that the teacher provides a rubric to a student so that they know what type of questions they can ask or what path to follow, but students should prepare their own interview questions. Conducting interviews with people gives student a chance to practice their speaking ability not only in class but also outside and help them becoming socialized. After interviews, each student can present his or her study to the class. Moreover, students can interview each other and introduce his or her partner to the class.

3. Investigative journalist

The basis of investigative journalist is for students to interview one another in pairs and present their findings.

Teachers may ask their learners to work in pairs and ask their partners about their family structure, favorite colors and foods, pets and hobbies.After that teachers may ask the learners to present their findings to the class.

4. Young teacher:

In this the activity teachers may ask some learners to teach some text book topics like, saving energy, sports ...etc.

Living things need clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. Plants need sunlight and land to grow, and we need plants for food. When plants breathe, they clean the air around them. We use the wood from plants and trees to make a lot of things, like paper, some houses, and furniture.

We shouldnt hurt our natural resources because we cant usually make more of them. Smoke from cars and factories makes the air dirty. If the air is dirty, people can get sick and plants cant grow. If we cut down trees, we should plant new ones.

Trash is very bad for our natural resources. Sometimes people throw trash into water but we cant drink dirty water, and plants cant grow near it. Trash goes to places called landfills, and it stays there forever. Some landfills are dirty and they smell bad. People cant use that land, and farmers cant grow food on it. We can all take care of the Earths resources. Here are some ideas:

Use things until you cant use them anymore.

Dont throw things away. Reuse them. Refill plastic drink bottles.

Reduce the natural resources you use. Take your own bag to the store.

Reading Comprehension 5

Read the following passage, then answer the questions below

Life in the past was different. It was so hard but at the same time it was simple.

Houses in the past were small, and made of wood. They were not wide enough and they were very traditional. They didnt have facilities that they have today, in particular current water, heating and electricity. People used to use candles or oil lamps to light their houses.

Before the Stone Age, people used to eat fruit, leaves and anything they found from the forest. But this habit changed into hunting animals, preserving food items and planting and growing vegetables, which eventually led into farming different crops. People were healthy; they rarely had diseases and never needed extra exercises because their daily work kept their bodies running.

In terms of education in the past, people rarely got the chance to educate themselves. Farmers made sure that their children knew how to plot a farm and carry out the daily work.
