Practical English: What time is it?

In this lesson, Sts learn how to tell the time. There are two possible ways of telling the time in English: hour + minutes, e.g., six thirty, and minutes before (to) or after the hour, e.g., twenty to six. Sts will hear both if they travel to an English speaking country. To avoid confusing Sts with two forms, the focus here is on the second method for saying the time. Teachers may want to point out the alternative to Sts so they will recognize it if they hear it. After Sts have learned and practiced telling the time, they practice the intonation ofWh- and yes / no questions. Finally they listen to people on the street talking about their daily schedules. This leads in to Sts talking about their own schedules.
