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 charger exchange and distinguish borrowing, passing a bag and moving a chair.
- Trace the station requests about the platform, connection, later train and lift.
- Create a prompt conversation with two key phrases and a useful follow-up or return arrangement.
Support and extension
Provide Could I/Could you/Is it OK if I frames. Extend with Would you mind plus -ing; travel permissions belong to this fictional ticket example.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
