Audio script:
Five-couloured sticky rice is an important traditional dish of many ethnic minorities in the northern mountainous regions. People call the dish five-coloured sticky rice because it has five coulours: red,yellow,green,purple and white. The things that create the colours are not chemicals but natural roots and leaves. The five colours of the dish represent five elements of life according to Vietnamese beliefs: yellow is earth, red is fire, green is plants, white is metal, and purple or black is water. People believe that these five elements create harmony between heaven and earth. Five-coloured sticky rice is usually made and enjoyed at Tet, in festivals and ceremonies, on special occasions, and whenever the family has guests.
Writing 
4 Tell Ss to read the notes carefully.
5 Have Ss write full sentences to show the steps to cook the rice. Make sure that they use proper connectors first/firstly, second/secondlyand pay attention to spelling and punctuation.
T may collect some Ss’ writing papers and mark them, then give comments to the class.
T may ask Ss to write a paragraph as homework( in the form of a letter to a pen friend, for example).
Sample cooking steps:
This delicious dish is really easy to make. First, you need to soak the rice in water for at least five hours. Then rinse the rice and drain it well. Next, add the turmeric extract and mix it well. Then wait for 10 minutes. After that, add the coconut and salt. Remember to mix it well. Finally, steam the rice for 30 minutes. Check that it is fully cooked. You can serve this dish with chicken.

Audio script:
 Life in the English countryside
According to a recent survey by Country Life magazine, about 80 percent of Britain’s population dream of living in the countryside. In fact the countryside of England today shows the wealth of landowners and those who can afford to escape the busy and noisy city life.
English village communities are often small and close. They are warm and usually welcoming. Maggie, who lives in North Yorkshire, says: “ Village life is wonderful and safe for the kids. There is a great sense of community here. It is more relaxing and you can’t tell who has money and who doesn’t”. People in the English countryside use private transport more, and the environment hasn’t been spoilt much.
Writing
4 Before writing, have Ss brainstorm ideas about life in the countryside: advantages, disavantages, what they like and dislike, etc Then explain the writing task. Also have them brainstorm words and phrases they may need for writing.
Give Ss time to do the writing task. Then collect their papers to check out of class.
Sample writing:
In my opinion, life in the countryside has many good points. Firstly, country folk are friendlier than city folk. Secondly, life is slower and simpler than in the city. The food is fresher and the air is cleaner. Finally, there are lots of traditional activities that we can do in the countryside such as horse-riding, swimming in the river or kite-flying. For these reasons, I like country life.

A student from group A calls out the name of an ethnic group in Viet Nam, then points at one student from group b. This student has to call out the name of another ethnic group. The game stops when a group cannot give out the name of any ethnic group or when time is up. The group with more ethnic groups wins.

 -Yes, and they have their own ways of life, and..and
Tell Ss that this sentence is taken from the conversation in the Getting started of Unit 3. When Ss can give you the two words ‘custom’ and ‘traditions’. If within two minutes Ss cannot complete the sentence, ask them to quickly look at the conversation on page 26 and find the sentence.
Write the unit title on the board ‘ Our customs and traditions’. Ask Ss to call out some customs and traditions they know. Now start the lesson.
