Procedures
Warming up by studying grammar
Grammar is so important that it should always be learned and made use of in class.
Today we shall learn to use “ Present perfect with already and yet”
Look at the two sentences:
Have you watered the plants yet? Yes, I have already watered them?
Do you understand the structure of the two sentences?
We shall make more sentences like those.
Have you finished your homework yet? Yes, I have already finished it?
Have you found your bike yet? Yes, I have already found it?
To use the “ Present perfect with already and yet” more in communication, let’s go on to page 110.
1a Thinking and writing
Have you been on a beach vacation yet? If you go on a beach vacation, what three things would you pack?
Think and write your ideas in the chart on page 110.

3a Reading and underlining
Here on page 112 is an e-mail message from Crystal. Now read it and underline all the different chores mentioned in it.
Subject: So busy！ From: Crystal
Hi Jake,
Sorry I couldn’t get back to you sooner. I have so many chores to do today. I have to do my homework, of course. I started about an hour ago, but I haven’t finished. Then I have to take the dog for a walk, water my mom’s plants, and do some shopping. I haven’t done any of those things yet because my grandfather came to chat to me. He loves talking, and I love listening to him. He started telling me about all of the chores he had to do when he was a kid. He had to get up at 5 am and chop wood and light the fire for breakfast. Then he had to collect water from the village well. Then he had to feed the animals-he and his family lived on the farm.
Anyway, I have to run now.
Take care,
Crystal
