 * Overview**

SB page 30 Focus attention to the example and ask students to work on their own. Students who finish early can check answers with a partner.
 * Step 1**

Students check their answers at T 4.4 As preparation for the next activity students listen and repeat both chorally and individually.
 * Step 2**

Students work in pairs to ask and answer questions in exercise 1. Demonstrate the activity by getting a pair of students to ask and answer the first question across the class.
 * Step 3**

Go round and check as students do the activity. Students who finish early can be encouraged to ask similar questions but with different days or question words, e.g. Do you go out on Saturday evenings? Where do you do your homework?

This activity practices the third person singular alongside with other persons. It also pulls the whole class together after the pair work. Ask a few individuals to tell the rest of the class about themselves. If necessary remind the students they need to use -s when talking about their partner.
 * Step 4**

T 4.5 Students listen carefully and tick the sentence they hear. They discuss their answer with a partner before you establish the correct one.
 * Step 5 **

Answers What does she do on Sundays? Do you stay at home on Thursday evenings? He lives here. What do you do on Saturday evenings? I read a lot. Why don't you like your job?

Positives and negatives This exercise revises the verb to be alongside other verbs in the Present Simple. The exercise could be set for homework, but it can be fun if done at a brisk pace orally with the whole class.They could then write their answers afterwords.
