N OTES FOR PAGE 89 How about you? • Give students a bit of time to fill in the blanks with info that is true for them. • Modelling the model dialog with a few students will ensure that everyone is clear on how to go about this short task. • Although open and closed forms haven’t been featured in this lesson, students should still feel free to use these. Switching up open and closed forms as you model the model dialog with your students will help remind them of this point. For example, you could ask one student “ Do you watch a lot of TV? ” while asking another “What TV shows do you like to watch? ” Hopefully by now your students will have gotten the hang of this open/closed thing. • Make time for students to chat for a while using the model dialog as a starting point. Sounding Natural Note: Skip the questions • This note is yet another spin on Golden Rule 3 and shows students how they can talk about themselves by not using so many questions. For example, if one person says they like to read, the other can reply by talking about when, where, and how often they like to read.

Preview • This dialog previews the main theme of this lesson, which is talking about other forms of entertainment, such as reading, watching TV, playing games, and using social media. • Things you could mention about this dialog:

• Line 2 : Junko’s response is a good model for how to give a “no” answer- say no softly, then shift to another personal preference. • Line 3: Maggie picks up on Junko’s subtle topic shift and goes with it, asking for more details. This shows she is interested in communicating. • Line 5 : Maggie talks about herself, Golden Rule 3-style by answering her own question from Line 3. • Line 6: “ I know what you mean ” is a great reaction expression because it indicates empathy and solidarity. In other words, it’s a friendly thing to say!
