Exercise 5. Read the text about Alexander Graham Bell and do the tasks
Alexander Graham Bell is widely known as inventor of the first telephone. He
was born on March 3rd, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. When he was 23, Bell
emigrated to Canada with his parents and the next year moved to the United States
to teach deaf-mute children. With his colleague Thomas Watson, Bell worked very
hard on the experimentation to invent devices such as the harmonic telegraph
(used to send multiple messages over a single wire) and phonautograph (used to
draw the shape of the sound waves). The first telephone communication was said
to have happened between Bell and Watson in 1876 while Bell was at one end of
the line, and Watson worked on the telephone in other room. The first transmitted
words were, ‘Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you’

Grammar
1. Complex sentences: review (6’)
- Now ask Ss to read the information in the yellow box.
- When Ss have finished reading, ask them to name the dependent clauses on
the board
- There are different types of dependent clause.
A dependent clause of concession begins with a subordinator (liên từ phụ
thuộc) although, though, or even though. It shows an unexpected result.
Example:
Although she was tired, she finished knitting the scarf for her dad.
A dependent clause of purpose begins with a subordinator so that or in order
that. It tells the purpose of the action in the independent clause.
Example:
The artisan moulded the clay so that he could make a mask.
A dependent clause of reason begins with a subordinator because, since, or
as. It answers the question “Why?”
Example:
Since it was raining, they cancelled the trip to Trang An.
A dependent clause of time begins with a subordinator when, while, before,
after, as soon as, etc. It tells when the action described in the independent
clause takes place.
Example:
When I have free time, I usually go to the museum
Activity 1. Underline the dependent clause in each sentence below. Say whether it
is a dependent clause of concession (DC), of purpose (DP),of reason (DR), or of
time (DT).(5’)
- Let Ss do this exercise individually.
- Elicit Ss’ answers.
- Confirm the correct ones..
Key:
1. When people talk about traditional paintings → DT
2. so that she could buy some bai tho conical hats → DP
3. Although this museum is small → DC
4. because we have space to skateboard → DR
5. before they make the drumheads → DT
Activity 2. Make a complex sentence from each pair of sentences. Use the
subordinator provided and make any necessary changes. (6’)
- Have Ss write the complex sentences individually and then compare them
with a partner.
- Have two Ss write their sentences on the board. Each student writes two or
three sentences.
- Ask other Ss to give feedback.
- Confirm the correct answers.
- For a stronger class, organise a quick game. One side is team A, and the
other is team B. One student from team A calls out a subordinator and points
to one student from team B to make a sentence and vice versa.
- Set a time limit and keep a record of the scores for the teams on the board.
Key:
1. The villagers are trying to learn English in order that they can communicate with
foreign customers.
2. After we had eaten lunch, we went to Non Nuoc marble village to buy some
souvenirs.
3. Even though this hand-embroidered picture was expensive, we bought it.

Key:
1. set up: start something (a business, an organisation, etc.)
take over: take control of something (a business, an organisation, etc.)
2. No, the individual words in the verb phrase do not help with comprehension.
This is why they are sometimes considered difficult.
- Have Ss read the information in the yellow grammar box.
- Ask them to call out any phrasal verbs they know and write them on the board.
Have them explain the meaning of these verbs.
- A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a particle (tiểu từ) such as back, in, on, off
, through, up, etc. When a particle is added to the verb, the phrasal verb usually has
a special meaning.
Example:
get up (get out of bed)
fi nd out (get information)
bring out (publish/launch)
look through (read)
Note: A verb can go with two particles.
Example:
keep up with (stay equal with)
look forward to (be thinking with pleasure about
something to come)
run out of (have no more of )
Activity 4. Match the phrasal verbs in A with their meaning in B.(6’)
- Let Ss do this exercise individually, and then compare their answers with a
classmate.
- Check Ss’ answers and confirm the correct ones
- T may ask Ss to give the meanings of these phrasal verbs
- Help them with difficult phrases.
Key:
1. c 2. g 3. f 4. a

meaning of each sentence.
- Tell Ss that all the phrasal verbs used in this exercise have been presented in
this lesson.
- Let Ss write the sentences individually and then compare their answers with
a classmate.
- Call on two Ss to write their sentences on the board. Other Ss and T give
feedback.
- For a less able class, T may want to model the first sentence. Ss may just
focus on the next two sentences.
- After two Ss write their sentences on the board, check them carefully. If
there is no time left, ask Ss to finish the remaining sentences as homework.
Key:
1. Where did you find out about Disneyland Resort?
2. When did you get up this morning?

near Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter, so you can spend time looking round
and exploring Vietnamese culture.
Nam: I’m fascinated by traditional handicrafts. At weekends, I usually go to Bat
Trang, a pottery village not far from Ha Noi centre. My friend’s relatives live there
and they own a workshop. Every time I go there, they teach me how to make
things such as pots, vases, or bowls. I’m learning to paint on ceramics now.
Hoa: Ha Noi Botanical Garden is the place I like. There are lots of trees from
different countries, a lake, and a small hill. I usually climb up the hill and read
books at the top because there’s a large lawn. After that I go down and feed the
pigeons. Sometimes I just sit on the bench, watching people dancing or playing
sports. It’s a nice place for those who love nature and quietness.

places of interest they should go to and the things they can do there.
Write an email to give him/her some information

with the whole class.

email as homework.

Sample:
Dear Mira,
It’s great to know that you’re coming to Viet Nam. What a pity you can only
spend one day in Ha Noi.
There are so many interesting places in the city, but I think within one day you
should be able to visit three places. The first place I suggest is Viet Nam
National Museum of History. You like history, so it’s a must-see place. There’s
an extensive collection of artefacts tracing Viet Nam’s history. They’re
arranged chronologically from primitive life to modern times. The second place
is Hoan Kiem Lake. It’s one of the symbols of Ha Noi. There you can enjoy the
beautiful scenery and visit Ngoc Son Temple. You can also have a look at the
Old Quarter. Wander around the old streets and some ancient houses to
explore
Vietnamese culture.
Conveniently, these places are close to one another, so we can walk around
easily. Tell me when you’re coming, so I can show you around these places.
Look forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes,
Thuc Anh
