A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the single learner page in pairs. Personal or imagined answers can vary; there is no fixed answer key.
- Read the cafe model and identify first mention and the later reference.
- Ask about jobs and nearby places, then introduce real bag or desk objects.
- Show an object or photo and answer two questions about it before swapping roles.
Support and extension
Supply a/an noun pairs, checking the initial sound. Extend with details that identify the object; the does not simply mean any object mentioned anywhere before.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
