number of the correct answer from Activity 2a in front of each question in Activity 2b.

Step Ⅳ 2c
This activity provides guided oral practice using the target language. Look at the sample conversation
in the speech bubbles. Invite a pair of students to read it to the class.
SA: Are you ready, Tina?
SB: No. I haven’t cleaned out the refrigerator yet.
Go through the instructions with the class. Say, With your partner make a conversation using
information from Activities 2a and 2b. Have students work in pairs. While they are working, walk
around the classroom checking the progress of the pairs and offering help as needed.
Invite two pairs to say their conversations to the class.
Conversation 1
SA: Have you fed the cat yet?
SB: Not yet. I’ll do it in a minute.
Conversation 2
SA: Have you turned off your radio?
SB: Yes, I have.
Step Ⅴ Grammar Focus
Look at the grammar focus box. Get three students to read the questions and answers to the class.
Have you watered the plants yet?
No, I haven’t.
Have you packed the camera yet?
Yes. I’ve already put it in my suitcase.
Have you fed the cat?
No. I haven’t fed her yet.
Let students make up other sentences in pairs using have you…yet questions. For example: Have you had lunch yet? Have another student answer truthfully: Yes, I
have or Yes, I have already had lunch, or No, I haven’t had lunch yet.
Pay attention to the use of already and yet. Say, When we use the words have and already, we are
talking about something that happened in the past, but not a long time ago. When we use the words
haven’t and yet, we are talking about something that will happen in the future, but not a long time from now.
It will happen soon. For example: I’ve already had breakfast, but I haven’t had lunch yet.
Draw a simple diagram to help students understand the grammar focus.
Get some pairs to say their sentences aloud to the class.
A sample sentence
I’ve already had lunch, but I haven’t had supper yet.
Culture note
Many Americans are used to taking at least one vacation trip a year. But in China, some of the
students may not be in the habit of taking an annual vacation, or even making a trip to another city.
For some students, financial limitations and family obligations make such travel impossible. For
others, it may be that taking trips is not something that is common in their home culture.
