A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Use the two model conversations and phrase lists on the learner page. The final dialogue prompts are open-ended, with no fixed answer key.
- Read the presentation-advice exchange; identify the change to the opening rather than simply adding slides.
- Follow the museum visit and distinguish thanks to the host from a specialist follow-up.
- Use a final prompt to give specific appreciation and acknowledge it graciously.
Support and extension
Provide contribution/result notes. Extend by explaining how advice was used; avoid generic praise that could fit any contribution.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
