In this lesson, iconic aspects of the US are used to introduce common adjectives and their grammatical position, and Sts learn to give simple descriptions of things and people. Sts begin with a vocabulary focus on common adjectives. The grammar of adjectives is presented through a quiz about the US, which includes common adjective/noun phrases such as The White House and New York , which should be familiar to Sts in English or in their own language. After the grammar practice, Sts go on to a pronunciation focus on long and short vowel sounds, which also serves to recycle the adjectives.

The lesson starts with a focus on classroom language, which helps Sts to understand and respond to common classroom instructions, and to ask the teacher in English for information and clarification. Sts then learn the pronunciation of the alphabet and practice it with common abbreviations. After this, Sts listen to an interview with a student in a language school and learn how to give personal information, and practice spelling. This leads into the grammar focus of possessive adjectives.
