1. Introduction (Warm-up Activity)
- Start by asking students:
"What things are difficult for you?"
Example answers:- "Math is difficult for me."
- "Waking up early is difficult for me."
- Write their responses on the board and introduce the structure:
"It's hard for me to + (verb)"- "It's hard for me to wake up early."
- "It's hard for me to solve math problems."
2. Explanation with Simple Examples
- Break down the sentence structure:
"It's hard for me to + (verb)"- "It's hard for me to swim."
- "It's hard for me to cook."
- Show pictures of different activities and ask:
"What is hard for this person?"
Example: Show a picture of someone struggling with cooking and elicit:- "It's hard for him to cook."
3. Interactive Activities
A. Fill in the Blanks (Pair Activity)
- Give students half-made sentences and let them complete them:
- It's hard for me to _______ (wake up early).
- It's hard for me to _______ (ride a bicycle).
- It's hard for me to _______ (speak English).
- Let them discuss in pairs and compare answers.
B. Role Play (Real-life Situations)
- Give students different scenarios and ask them to respond using the phrase.
Scenario 1: "You are in a restaurant, and you don’t understand the menu."
Student Response: "It's hard for me to read the menu."
Scenario 2: "You are in a new city and don’t know the language."
Student Response: "It's hard for me to communicate with people."
C. Chain Game (Group Activity)
- The first student says: "It's hard for me to wake up early."
- The second student repeats and adds a new one: "It's hard for me to wake up early and cook food."
- Continue the chain and see how many they can remember!
4. Practice & Homework
- Ask students to write 5 sentences using "It's hard for me to + (verb)" about their real-life challenges.
- Encourage them to share in class the next day.
Would you like me to add more variations or simplify it further? 😊
