Let's not + (verb)

Step 1: Introduction (Warm-up)

  • Start by asking students:
    "What do you say when you want to stop someone from doing something together?"
    • Example: "Shall we go out in the rain?"
    • Expected answer: "No, let's not go out in the rain."
  • Write "Let's not + (verb)" on the board and explain that it is used to suggest not doing something.

Step 2: Explanation with Examples

Provide simple examples:

  1. Let's not eat junk food. (To suggest avoiding junk food)
  2. Let's not waste time. (To suggest using time wisely)
  3. Let's not make noise in class. (To remind about classroom discipline)

Use gestures and real-life situations to make it relatable.


Step 3: Interactive Activities

1. Picture Prompt Activity

  • Show different pictures (e.g., a person throwing garbage, students using mobile phones in class).
  • Ask: "What should we not do?"
  • Guide students to answer using "Let's not..."
    • Example: (Picture of littering) → "Let's not throw garbage on the road."

2. Role-play (Pair Activity)

  • One student suggests an activity (e.g., "Let's go swimming.")
  • The other student responds using "Let's not..." (e.g., "Let's not go swimming; it's too cold.")
  • Swap roles.

3. Guessing Game

  • Teacher acts out an activity (e.g., sleeping in class, running in the library).
  • Students guess and say, "Let's not sleep in class."

4. Debate Activity

  • Split the class into two groups.
  • One group gives positive suggestions ("Let's go on a trip.").
  • The other group counters using "Let's not..." ("Let's not go on a trip because it's too expensive.")

Step 4: Practice with Writing & Speaking

  • Writing: Ask students to write 5 sentences using "Let's not..." related to school, home, or society.
  • Speaking: Students share one of their sentences aloud.

Step 3: Pair Work (Student-to-Student Interaction)

  1. Ask and Answer Activity

    • One student asks: Why are you confused?
    • The other replies using the phrase: I don’t know why to buy this phone or that one.

    👨‍🏫 (Student B): "Don’t worry, I'll help you find the way!"

    Example 2: The Broken Phone
    👩‍🎓 (Student A): "My phone is not working."
    👨‍🏫 (Student B): "I'll help you fix it!"

    Encourage students to act out these situations in pairs or groups.


    3. Question-Answer Game (Interactive Practice)

    • Ask students questions related to daily life.

    • Students respond: "I'll help you carry them!"

    This enhances vocabulary and sentence-building skills.


    5. Chain Conversation (Group Activity)

    • Form a circle.
    • One student starts with a problem: "I can't ride a bicycle."
    • The next student responds: "I'll help you ride it!" and then gives a new problem for the next person.
    • The chain continues around the group.

    6. Storytelling with "I'll Help You"

    • Create a short interactive story together.
    • Example: "A New Student in School"
      • One student pretends to be a new student.
      • Others take turns saying: "I’ll help you find your class." / "I'll help you make friends."

    This makes learning fun and engaging!


    7. Task-Based Learning (Real-Life Practice)

    • Give students tasks (e.g., cleaning the board, organizing books).
    • They must ask for help, and others respond using the pattern.

    👩‍🎓: "I can’t move this chair."
    👨‍🎓: "I’ll help you move it!"

    This helps them use English in real situations.


    8. Conclusion & Review

    • Recap the pattern and ask students to give one example each.
    • End with a fun challenge:
      • "Go home and use 'I'll help you' in a real conversation today!"
  • It's no use + (verb-ing) (............... बेकार है)

    It's no use + (verb-ing) (............... बेकार है) 
  • 1. Start with a Simple Explanation (Basic to Basic)

    • Explain that "It's no use + verb-ing" means something is pointless or ineffective.
    • Give a simple translation: "...करना बेकार है"

    2. Use Real-Life Examples (Engagement)

    • Example 1: "It’s no use crying over spilled milk." (दूध गिर जाने पर रोना बेकार है।)
    • Example 2: "It’s no use waiting for the bus; let’s take a taxi." (बस का इंतजार करना बेकार है, चलो टैक्सी लेते हैं।)

    3. Make It Interactive (Pair Activity)

    Activity: "Complete the Sentence"

    • Write some sentence starters on the board and ask students to complete them.
      • It’s no use ________ because _________.
      • Example: "It’s no use shouting because nobody is listening."

    Pair Work:

    • One student gives a situation, and the other replies using "It's no use + verb-ing."
      • A: "I lost my phone!"
      • B: "It’s no use crying, let’s try to find it."

    4. Role-Play (Make It Fun!)

    • Give students different real-life problem scenarios, and they must respond using "It’s no use + verb-ing."
      • Example:
        • Student A: "I will stay awake all night to study."
        • Student B: "It’s no use studying without sleep. You need rest!"

    5. Game: "Why Is It No Use?"

    • Show pictures or tell a small story.
    • Ask students: "Why is it no use?" and let them answer creatively.
      • Picture of broken clock → "It’s no use checking the time."
      • Picture of heavy rain → "It’s no use going out without an umbrella."

    6. Encourage Students to Use It in Daily Life

    • Ask them to write 3 sentences using "It’s no use + verb-ing" from their daily life.
    • Share and discuss them in class.
  • How much does it cost to + (verb)(कितना लगेगा ......)

    Step 1: Start with Real-Life Context

    • Show pictures or real objects (bus, train, coffee, mobile recharge, haircut, etc.).
    • Ask students: "Do you pay for these things? How do you ask about the price?"
    • Write "How much does it cost to ___?" on the board.

    Step 2: Introduce the Structure

    Formula:
    🔹 How much does it cost to + (verb)?
    🔹 It costs + (amount).

    Examples:

    • How much does it cost to buy a coffee? → It costs ₹50.
    • How much does it cost to travel by train to Delhi? → It costs ₹500.
    • How much does it cost to repair a phone? → It costs ₹1,000.

    📝 Drill Exercise:

    • Give students half sentences and let them complete them.
      Example:
      • How much does it cost to ______? (Students fill in: eat at a restaurant, ride a taxi, etc.)

    Step 3: Role-Playing Activity (Interactive Practice)

    Pair Work:

    • Student A: Asks a question.
    • Student B: Responds with an estimated price.
    • Swap roles.

    💬 Example Dialogue:
    🧑‍🎓 A: How much does it cost to watch a movie?
    👩‍🎓 B: It costs around ₹300.

    🧑‍🎓 A: How much does it cost to stay in a hotel for one night?
    👩‍🎓 B: It costs ₹2,000 per night.


    Step 4: Group Activity (Price Guessing Game)

    Game Rules:

    1. One student picks a card with an activity (e.g., "travel to Goa by flight").
    2. Others guess the cost using "How much does it cost to + verb?"
    3. The student with the closest guess wins a point.

    Step 5: Real-Life Application

    • Survey Task: Ask students to research and note the cost of daily activities in their city (e.g., haircut, pizza, metro ride).
    • Class Discussion: Share findings using the sentence structure.

    Step 6: Error Correction & Reinforcement

    • Listen & Correct: Read incorrect sentences and let students find mistakes.
    • Exit Ticket: Before leaving, each student must ask one correct question using the pattern.
