the students’ characteristics.
● Pronunciation: For ESL student, correcting pronunciation is really important and
teachers should correct during the class.
● The teacher should appraise the student or correct positively frequently.
● If the student cannot answer, the teacher can ask guiding questions to help the S to
get to the answer.
● If the student cannot concentrate, the teacher can use TPR to motivate the student.

For writing activities, please ask the student to TYPE the answers instead of WRITING
using the pen tool.

 Grammar Builder - Passive Forms

The shop is called Tiny Space.

It was painted by him as well.

(5 mins)

- T introduces grammar point no.1: Passive Forms

- Leading: T poses the questions:
+ Do you remember in the video in the beginning of the lesson, Sean said that "The shop is
called Tiny Space," and "It was painted by him as well."
+ What do these sentences have in common? ( both have "be + v3; one is passive voice in the
present, the other is passive voice in the past)
=> T introduces the video, saying that St can find the answers to this question in the video
 Change the sentence in active voice into passive voice.

0. People call this a sofa. 4. People call my science teacher Mr.

-> This is called a sofa.
1. My dad bought this flower vase at the local
shop.
->..................................................................
2. She put the key on top of the fridge by
accident.

->..................................................................

3. They built a new apartment near the 7. My grandpa grew a lot of plants in the
school last month. back garden when he was young.
->.................................................................. ->..................................................................

(3 mins)

T repeats the steps to change active to passive voice:

1. Put the passive noun (object) before the verb.
2. Add "to be" in front of the main verb and change the verb to the past participle form.
3. (Optional) Put "by" after verb, followed by the active noun (subject)

T explains the task and the given example.

Suggested explanation:
- The given sentences are in active voice. St needs to change these sentences into passive
voice.
- In the example sentence, the tense is present simple. To change the sentence into passive
voice, we put "this" at the beginning and change the verb "call" to "is called."

T lets St answer orally and check.

T grants the tool for S to write the answer.

T checks and give feedback.

Answer key:
1. This flower vase was bought at the local shop.
2. The key was put on top of the fridge by accident.

T leaves St 2 minutes to do the task.

T asks S to explain his/her answers & gives hints on the ones that S got wrong so that S can
self-correct
Answer key
1. was (1920 is in the past, so the sentence must be in the past simple)
2. under (wrong collocation - under repair = being repaired)
3. by (wrong collocation - by accident = without intending to)
4. was bought (the sofa is a passive noun, so the sentence must be in passive voice)
5. will be fixed (the heating system is a passive noun, so the sentence must be in
passive voice)
6. of (wrong collocation - on the other side of something)

(4 mins)

T introduces the task: Practicing time! Let's do these exercise and review what we've learned
in the previous parts.

T asks St what St needs to do in this task. ( choose the correct answer to each question)

T grants the tool for lets St complete the email.

Answer key:
1. B
2. B
3. C

Suggested explanation:
1. Guide S to underline the keyword "under construction" (something is being built) ->
B. they haven't finished building the place = they are still building the place = under
construction
A. wrong - they are still working on the place, not the basement.
C. wrong - collapse = fall down, which has different meaning with "under construction."
2. Guide S to underline the keyword "under repair" (something is being fixed)
B. It should be fixed by the end of the day.= It will work again before tomorrow.
A. T explains the meaning of the distractor "have your understanding" = to ask
someone to not become angry about an unexpected situation, which has different
meaning with "No one understands why"
C. T explains although the option contain "hope" as in the question but the question
doesn't mention that everyone hopes the heating system won't be broken again.

3. Guide S to underline the keyword "out of stock" (the store doesn't have it anymore)
->

C has the closest meaning with "out of stock."

A contains the distractor "come back to the store" but the question doesn't mention the store is
closed.
B contains the distractor "go to the mall" but the question doesn't mention Josh wants Katie to
go to the mall with him.

T says: It's time for self-reflection!

T signals S to look at the boxes and put a tick on the box if they think they can achieve it.

If S puts a tick, T should asks some follow-up questions to get S apply what they've learned
into practice.
- Can you describe your house?
- Can you use passive voice when you want to focus attention on the person or things affected
by the action?

Slide 3:
M: Native Male
F: Vietnamese Female

Script:
M: So this is my living room. Have a seat!
F: Can I walk around first? Oh, this sofa looks nice and comfy. The cushions are eye-catching
as well. Where can I find those?
M: My mum got it from a furniture shop downtown. I think the shop is called Tiny Space.
F: Oh! I know that shop! I'll go there later then... Oh is that a gas heating system?
M: Yes, it is. I have just had it installed this morning. I really can't stand the cold weather here
in winter.
F: Really? I also think of installing one but it's a bit pricey. I think I'm better than you with cold
weather too.
M: That's true. For us it's really worth it.
F: Shall we come to the kitchen next?
M: Sure! Make yourself at home! Follow me this way. The kitchen is right over here.
F: Wow, it's a nice kitchen. (point to the left). Those vases look cool!
M: They are placed there for good luck. Also, they make the kitchen look greener.
F: (act like look around) the kitchen sink looks elegant. But where is the tap?
M: Oh. It's under repair. While I was washing the dish, the tap suddenly stopped working.
F: Oh dear.
M: No worries. It will be fixed soon. I've just asked my neighbour for help. He's a mechanic.
F: Are your neighbours nice and friendly?
M: Yes, they are. When we first moved here, the roof leaked and we were total newbies. They
saw that and offered to help!
F: It's so kind of them! And how many bedrooms do you have?
M: Three, one for my parents, one for me, and a square bedroom for guests. Wanna have a
look at the spare bedroom?
F: Sure! Which way should I go? This way? (point to the right)
M: Oh, don't go that way. That's the way to the garage. The bedroom is at the end of the hall.
"F: What a lovely bedroom! The picture on the wall is cool.
M: It was a present from Woo Bin, my pen-pal. It was painted by him as well.
F: Is he the Korean guy that you usually talk about? He really has a good sense of art. The
picture really matches the room's colour.
M: Thanks. Would you like to have a look at the garden as well? It's behind the kitchen. I think
you'd love it!
F: Why not? Let's go!"

Slide 10:
Script:

Let's take a look at the structure.

They all start with a subject - in this case the subjects are objects: the shop and the picture.

Next is the verb to-be, followed by a past participle.

Sounds familiar right? It's the structure of the passive voice.

These sentences are the two examples of passive present simple voice and passive past
simple voice.

The only main difference between them is the tense.

In the 1st sentence, it's the simple present, so the verb 'be' becomes 'is'.
In the 2nd sentence, it's something that happened in the past, so the verb 'be' becomes 'was'.

<pause 2s>"
Let's have a look at some other examples where I will change them into passive ones. 5s
"Let's look at No.1, the main verb is 'built'. Obviously, it's a past tense verb, so to change it into
passive voice, we need to
1) put 'this house' to the beginning,
2) add 'was' before the past participle of build (which is also built) and
3) keep the 'a long time ago' part.
So it will be 'This house was built a long time ago.'

As for No.2, 'always puts' signals us that it's the simple present tense. After we applied the
same rule, we've got 'The flower vases are always put next to the window.'. We need 'are' here
because flower vases are plural nouns.

"Similarly for No.3, 'divided' is a past tense verb, and when we change it into a passive
sentence, it should become 'The apartment was divided into four main rooms.'

Slide 12:
Script:

Beside those prepositions, we also have by, under, and out of.

Have you ever heard of by the river, after dinner, or out of stock?
These phrases both have prepositions at the front and a noun phrase to follow.

These phrases are called prepositional phrases. These phrases help us to locate the object
that is being referred to. For example, when saying 'by the river', we know that something is
the river, not somewhere else. <pause 2s>

Here are some common cases that people often use prepositional phrases.

First, it's when they talk about places. Some examples are: at a party, by the river, opposite the
library

Or here are some examples of using prepositional phrases to talk about time: after the party,
during the first semester, before the holidays

Finally is the special case where prepositional phrases have idiomatic meanings. Take the
phrase 'under construction' for example. It means 'being built'. However, if we separate it into
two words, the meaning of each word is quite far from 'being built'. Let's take a look at some
special prepositional phrases.

Out of stock means unavailable for immediate sale. On sale means available to buy. In/on time
means being done when it should and is not late. <pause 2s>
