A. Introduction-
1.Write a list of hobbies on the board. These will include: listening
to music, surfing the Internet, playing video games, collecting coins,
reading books. Ask the students if they enjoy any of these hobbies.
2.Write two sentences on the board pertaining to one of the hobbies.'I
enjoy collecting coins'. 'I have been collecting coins for three years'.
3.Ask the students if they can name more hobbies and write them on
the board for them to see. |

B. Development-
1.Explain to the students that the first sentence 'I enjoy collecting
coins', is the present simple form of the verb 'enjoy'. Give other
examples of present simple verbs. Explain that the second sentence
'I have been collecting coins for three years', is the present perfect
progressive form of the action 'collecting'. Explain how to make the
present perfect progressive form by adding 'have been'. Give other
example such as 'have been playing', 'have been reading'.
2.Introduce new vocabulary by using them in questions. Explain that
these words are synonyms of hobby. 'What are your interests'? 'What
is your favorite pastime'? 'What do you do for recreation'? 'Do you
have any leisure activities'? Explain the uses of the words 'since'
and 'for' when answering questions and give an example. 'I have been
collecting coins for two years.' 'I have been playing guitar since
I was 17 years old.'
3.Ask the students to repeat these new vocabulary words. Use alternate
spellings if they appear to have trouble with the pronunciations.
Finally, ask the students if they have any questions. |

C. Practice-
1. Begin the PowerPoint and read aloud the sentences on each slide.
Cue the students to repeat these sentences. Alternate between reading
to the students, and allowing them to read without any help.
2.Make two columns on the whiteboard. On the left side write these
words in any random order: collecting, playing, surfing, reading,
watching. On the right side write the following in any random order:
TV, coins, Internet, books, guitar. Tell the students you will point
to a word and ask them to read it aloud. Then ask them to match the
word with a hobby on the right side. Call on students individually
or ask as a whole.
3.Pass out the interview worksheets. Pair the students together and
explain one of them will be Student A, asking the questions, and the
other will be Student B, answering the questions. Student A will write
down the answers given by Student B and use those for follow-up questions.
Tell them to practice using the present perfect progressive and present
simple forms when answering questions. After they have finished, the
students will swap roles and repeat the process.

D. Independent Practice-
Take the worksheets and pass them out randomly to the students.
The students should still be in pairs. You want the students to have
a worksheet that did not belong to them or their partner. Choose a
pair of students and ask them to read aloud the questions and answers
from the worksheets they have. Continue until everyone has had a chance
to read.
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Ask students to write a short paragraph summarizing what they learned
today.
|
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
| Tell the students they did a great job today. Ask them if they have
any questions. Use the remaining time to let the students interview
YOU about your hobbies. As a fun and interesting time filler, play
a song on the guitar. |
