10mins: Introduction:
Online homework: Discuss any problems or difficulties the student may be having.
Independent reading: Ask the student about what they have read in English during the last week. If you are reading a novel together, discuss the assigned reading and any vocabulary words/ writing assignments.

Use speaking help cards and prompts to have students practice Speaking Part 2. They'll be given a long turn, where they need to compare and contrast 2/3 photos, making sure to answer the overarching question. (Long turn, 1 minute)
Then they'll be given a short turn, where they have to answer a question based on their partner's photographs. (Short turn, 30 seconds)

15mins: Writing exercise - Discuss speech writing. What occasions does one write a speech for? Tell the students to imagine they are graduating in a few months and they will be delivering a speech to their classmates, parents, and teachers. Students must say something inspiring, something that will make everyone laugh and something that will be memorable. Give students 5-10 minutes to write their speeches, then present them to the class.
05mins: Warm down: Goodbye, see you next time. Encourage students to do additional reading for vocabulary building outside of the lesson. News articles, short stories, and novels are all great examples.

1) Think about the voice - can you switch between active and passive voice?
2) Look at the words directly before and after the gap. If a past participle follows the gap, you know you'll need the auxiliary verb 'have/had' in your response.
3) Do not use fewer than three or more than six words.
4) Do not modify the key word in any way.
5) Contractions count as two words.
6) Keep in mind comparative forms, phrasal verbs and colloquial phrases.
- did she take pride in
- was her hate / hatred
- was no alternative but
- had I made a complaint
