Unit 1 Greetings

Activity 4 Look, listen and say.

Objectives: to introduce the new structure “I can ski.”

STEP 1: Ask the pupils who can skate or ski in real life. Receiving the answers, offer the pupils to learn how to talk about it using the structure “I can ...”. Here you can use gestures to explain the structure. To do it, at first, show yourself (I) and then throw your fist up (as if you are proving “I can”). Explain that it does not matter whether the pupils are able to ski or not. They can imagine that they can do.

Next show the pictures of the commands “Ski!”, etc. and work on their pronunciation in chorus.

I can ski.

I can skate.

I can play hockey.

I can play snowballs.

STEP 2: Then ask volunteers to go to the board and show off what they can do. Explain that it is possible to use both the old and new commands but it is necessary for them to show an action. For example, the volunteer says “I can run” and runs in his/her resting place. Or he/she says “I can fly” and flaps his/her arms like wings.
