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.
Speaking part 3:
In this speaking part, students are required to do a collaborative task. Students will have two minutes to respond to the question using the information provided. The students are then given a follow-up question with one minute to make a decision.
Speaking exercise: Split the students into pairs. Have each pair choose one of the options. Have the pair write three talking points and two questions for their option. Remind students it's better to have a well-developed discussion about a few of the points rather than rushing through them all without discussing enough detail.
