A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the two model conversations and key-phrase lists on the single learner page; the final prompts are open-ended and need no fixed answer key.
- Read the tea-stained book exchange and distinguish taking responsibility from offering replacement.
- Trace the rehearsal interruption, damaged recording and kind response with a small practical request.
- Create a prompt exchange with two key phrases and an appropriate repair or prevention step.
Support and extension
Provide sorry/what happened/offer/response frames. Extend by accepting an apology without pretending there was no inconvenience; allow invented scenarios instead of personal disclosure.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
