This document provides the lesson plan for a Unit 1 Lesson 4 on writing about friends. The objectives are for students to practice writing about a friend using target language effectively. The lesson involves a warm-up activity where students guess missing words in a "coded message". Vocabulary is then reviewed related to describing someone. Students are given an outline to follow to write about a real or imaginary friend, focusing on name, appearance, personality, and interests. They work in pairs to write a draft which is then shared for feedback before the lesson concludes.

Check: Idetify key information given in each
paragraph in the following passages: My best friend’s name is “Sao Mai”, which means “Morning Star” in English. She is the same age with me, and we have known each other since we were in grade 4. If I were to describe how she looks, I would say she is very pretty. She is not very tall and quite slim. She has a round face with long black hair, big eyes and regular white teeth. That’s why many people say that her smile can brighten up even the cloudiest day. She has a very nice personality and a wonderful sense of humour. She is also very intelligent and studious. The first thing I like about Mai is that she shares the same interests with me. We both enjoy listening to music and collecting stamps. In addition, she is very good at Maths and she helps me a lot with difficult exercises. However, perhaps the best thing like about her is her kindness. Whenever I have a problem, she always encourages me or gives me helpful advice. I hope that our friendship will last forever.
