Hello, everyone! Glad to meet you here again. Today we shall take up a new lesson. Unit 11 Could you please clean your room?

To make polite request and to ask for permission is very common in our everyday life. At school, at home, on the bus, or in a supermarket, anywhere, anytime when you make polite request or ask for permission you may use the structures “ Could you please…?” or “ Could I please…?”
Let’s make sentences using could for polite request and could for permission.

●do the dishes

Then ask and answer in pairs about the chores. Do you usually do the chores?

Now it’s time to read the tapescript and try to underline the expressions, blacken the connectives and shadow the sentences beginning with “Could you/I…?”
1c Doing pairwork
Could you please use the target language to talk about the picture? Work in pairs like this:
A: Could you please sweep the floor?
B: Yes, sure.
2a Listening and answering
Now turn to page 66 and look at the picture. There are two people in it, Peter and his father. Peter wants to do some things. So he is asking for permission. What does his father say? Yes or No? Check (√) “yes” or “no”. And we can use the word “can” to ask and answer about Peter.

A; Can Peter stay out late?
B: No, he can’t.

Peter: Oh, yeah. Well, could I use the car?
Dad: Sorry, but I need it. I have to go to a meeting.
Peter: Could you give me a ride downtown?
Dad: Sure.
Let’s check the answers!
Answers
Movies=yes late=no car=no ride=yes
2b Listening and finding out the reasons
Peter wants to do many things, but his father doesn’t let him do them. Why? Now listen again and find out the reasons. Then draw lines to the reasons in the chart above.
Now it’s time to read the tapescript and try to underline the expressions, slant the connectives and darken the sentences beginning with “Could you/I…?”
2c Doing pairwork
Suppose you are Peter and you have many other things to ask your father. Certainly your father can’t agree with you. And he gives the reasons. Now let’s make a list here.
Peter’s things
Dad’s reasons
Go to the school things
You have to visit your grandmother.
Get a part-time job
You have too much homework.
Go to the library
You have to finish your reading.
Use your computer
I’m going to work on it now.
Stay out late
You need to eat your breakfast.
Go to the movies
You have to write the article.
Now please work in pairs to make a conversation based on the above information.
A model conversation

Peter’s father: Sorry. I’m going to work on it.
Peter: Well, could I go to the movies?
Peter’s father: Yes, you can. But first you have to write the article.
Peter: Could I stay out late?
Peter’s father: Sorry. You need to eat your breakfast.
Peter: Well, could I Go to the library?
Peter’s father: Yes, you can. But first you have to finish your reading.
3a Learning to use the key words
We use the two common words “do” and “make” often. For example, we often say “do one’s homework”, “make dinner” and so on. Now let’s practice the two words. First look at the conversation and then fill in the blanks by yourself.
A: I have to do chores.
B: Well, I hate some chores too, but I like other chores.
A: Really? Do you like to do the laundry?
B: No, I don’t. It’s boring.
A: I agree. Do you like to make your bed?
B: No, not really. But I like to do the dishes, because it’s relaxing. And I like to make breakfast, because I like to cook.
3b Doing pairwork
Now please make a list of the chores you like or don’t like to do. Then tell your partner why.
Like
Don’t like
Clean the living room
Do the dishes
Take out the trash
Wash the clothes
Buy vegetables
Make dinner
Sweep the floor
Clean the washroom
Cut the grass
Carry the things
…
…
A: I like cleaning the living room because I often take my friends home.
B: I don’t like washing the clothes because it’s boring.
A: I like taking out the trash because I like to keep my place clean.

4 Doing groupwork
Let’s play the game in groups of four or five. Each group has some blank cards. Please write down each chore on each card and turn them down.
The chores:
Do the dishes
Clean your room
Take out the trash
Sweep the floor
Fold your clothes
Make your bed
One of you turns over one card and asks your partner to do the chore. The partner says “no” and gives reasons like this:
A: Could you please do the dishes?
B: Sorry. I can’t. I have to practice the trumpet.
If you can’t give reasons or excuse, you will be out of the game. Each person should give an excuse that has not been given before. The player who can keep coming up with excuses will stay in the game the longest, and will be the winner.
A: Could you clean your room?
B: Sorry. I have to take out the trash.
A: Could you sweep the floor?
B: Sorry. I have to fold your clothes.
A: Could you make your bed?
B: Sorry. I have to go to school.
Closing down by playing a game
Working in groups: One writes a chore on a card, one writes a place on a card, and the others use the two to make a sentence like this “I (don’t) like doing… at/in/on….”
