students to provide its Mandarin equivalent. the e-book
3. Ask students, “How many world-famous brand names
do you recognize from each letter of the alphabet?”. For
example: A = Apple (e.g.,

1
smartphones and computers), B = BMW (e.g., cars),
C = Coca-Cola, D = Disney, E = Emirates (airline
company), F = Facebook (social media),
G = Google, H = Hyundai, I = Instagram, J =
Johnson & Johnson (e.g., vaccines), K = KFC, L =
LG (e.g., home appliances), M = McDonalds, N =
Nike, O = Omega (wrist watches), P = Puma

camera lenses).
4. Give students 15 minutes while they complete the
activity on their mini-whiteboards/A4-paper.
5. At the end of the 15 minutes, shout out “Stop!” and see
which group has brainstormed the most
brand names. Whoever writes the most is the winner.
6. Once completed, allow students to share and compare
with other classmates.
7. Next, instruct students to combine their lists into one
class list. Then ask if they know what
products each brand makes or does.
8. Alternatively, let them draw (without using any
websites or books as a reference) the logo/sign
of any famous brand name (e.g., LG or Toyota) on their
mini-whiteboards/A4-paper, and then
share and compare afterwards with other classmates.
9. Next, access:
https://99designs.com/blog/logo-branding/famous-logos
Use the information on the website, and discuss in a
very understandable manner: What makes a successful
logo design? Consider the following characteristics as a
guide:
a. Typography (e.g., the size and style of letters used in
a word and/or sentence, e.g., Mercedes, Toyota,
Google).
b. Layout of design (e.g., its shape, simplicity-easily

recognizable [e.g., Nike, Apple], the spacing
between letters [e.g., Google], etc).
c. The use of color in a logo (e.g., Shell, Apple,
Google).
10. Afterwards, choose any 3-4 brand’s logos and conduct a
class survey to find out:
a. Which logos are the most eye catching (i.e., very
noticeable, striking, attractive)? Why?
b. Which logos are the most famous? Why?

body language and facial expressions.
6. Guide and assist where necessary.
7. Next, divide students in pairs and instruct them to role play
the texts on pp. 21-22. If necessary, play the CD again to
familiarize students with the contexts. Try encouraging
them to focus on fluency, body language and facial
expressions, and use of intonation. Once they are ready, allow
them to perform in front of all their classmates.
8. Afterwards, provide constructive feedback to highlight
areas of excellence and areas that still need improvement.

II. Grammar(pp. 27-30): the 35 mins reading and
A. textboo writing
1. When people write in English, many writers tend to confuse k assessment
“to” with “too”. To state it briefly,“to” and “too” represent
different parts of speech in English. Therefore, each will be
addressed accordingly.
2. How to use “to”? The word “to” is a preposition that is used
for many reasons in English. Some of the more common
reasons include: movement, direction, purpose, and as part of
the infinitive verb structure. Consider the following
examples:
a. She’s going to the dentist after school today. (movement)
b. compass points to the north. (direction)
c. They came to our party. (purpose)
d. Do you want me to visit you today? (infinitive)

8
3. How to use “too”? “Too” is an adverb that means “also” or
“very". This adverb is usually found at the end of a sentence
after a comma (meaning: also), or before an adjective or an
adverb (meaning: very). Consider the following examples:
a. I want to go to Tainan, too. (also)
b. Me, too. (also)
c. The teacher spoke too quickly, so the students were
confused. (very)
d. The boxes are too heavy to move by myself. (very)
4. Next, review the chart at the top of the page 27 with students.
5. Refer to the example below Look and Write, and instruct
students to complete the accompanying exercise (1-2) for
“to/too”.
6. Check answers as a class.
7. Afterwards, move onto explaining “so … that”.
8. Firstly, mention to students that “so” is used to mean “very”
or “really”. It makes the sentence stronger and shows that
there is a high level of something. Then mention that “so”
can be used with an adjective or an adverb without a noun.
For example:
a. She was so beautiful. (i.e., She was very beautiful.)
b. The food was so delicious. (i.e., The food was really
delicious.)
9. Next, explain to students that “so … that” is used to express
both the cause and effect (result) of a situation. Look at the
following construction: “so + adjective/adverb + that +
result”.
10. Here are examples to demonstrate this.
a. The movie was so good that I saw it five times.
b. The teacher spoke so loudly that I have a headache.
Very importantly, “very” or “really” can’t be used this way.
11. Review the second chart in the middle of page 27, and then
go over the example to reinforce understanding.
12. Instruct students to complete the exercise (1-2).
13. Check answers together as a class.

B.

1. In English conversation, when people respond to a speaker,
they often do not always repeat their words. Instead, they will
respond with just a few words of agreement. Consider the
following examples.
Speaker A’s statement Speaker B’s statement
Amy is watching TV. • So am I.
• I am too.
Sam can’t play the guitar. • Neither can Cathy.
• Cathy can’t either.
These will now be addressed in more detail.
2. Using “so”: “So” is used to show agreement with positive
statements. Look at the following construction with some
accompanying examples: So + auxiliary verb + subject
(pronoun).
a. Celine is watching TV. So is Ronnie.
b. You look nice today. So do you.
c. I went to the movies. So did Mary.
d. Henry has finished his homework. So has Alice.
The auxiliary verb needs to agree with the verb tense in the
original statement (by Speaker A).
3. Using “too”: Similar to “so”, “too” is used to show
agreement with positive statements – however
“too” always appears at the end of the sentence. Look at the
following construction with some accompanying examples:
Subject (pronoun) + auxiliary verb + too.
a. Celine is watching TV. Ronnie is too.
b. You look nice today. You do too.
c. I went to the movies. Mary did too.
d. Henry has finished his homework. Alice has too.
Once again, the auxiliary verb needs to agree with the verb
tense in the original statement.
4. Review the chart at the top of page 28 as a class, then go
over the example to reinforce understanding.
5. Instruct students to complete the exercise (1-2).
6. Check answers together as a class.
7. Using “neither”: “Neither” is used to show agreement with
negative statements.

10
8. Look at the following construction with some accompanying
examples:
Neither + auxiliary verb + subject (pronoun).
a. I don’t like cats. Neither do I.
b. I am not hungry. Neither are we.
c. I didn’t like the book. Neither did Jenny.
d. John and Josh haven’t done the homework yet. Neither have
I.
Although there is a negative statement, the auxiliary verb is
used in the affirmative/positive (by Speaker B).
9. Using “either”: In contrast to “neither”, “either” is used at
the end of the sentence to show agreement with negative
statements.
10. Look at the following construction with some
accompanying examples:
Subject (pronoun) + auxiliary verb (not) + either.
e. I don’t like cats. Maggie doesn’t either.
f. I am not hungry. We are not either.
g. I didn’t like the book. Jenny didn’t either.
h. John and Josh haven’t done the homework yet. I haven’t
either.
11. Review the second chart in the middle of page 28, and then
go over the example to reinforce understanding.
12. Instruct students to complete the exercise.
13. Check answers together as a class.

C.
1. Often it can be confusing when to use “while” and “when”
because both these words are used when two things are
happening at the same time. They are also often used with the
past continuous tense to refer to background events.
2. Using ”while”: “While” is usually used when there are two
continuous (the key word being “continuous”) actions taking
place at the same time. Simply, stated, the word “while” can
also mean “even as”. For example: Last night I was watching
TV while my father was sleeping. In this sentence there are
two continuous actions happening simultaneously, i.e., I was

11
watching TV and my father was sleeping. Here are some
further examples:
a. While I was washing the dishes, my sister was doing her
homework.
b. I cooked dinner while James was cleaning his bedroom.
c. Jason walked into the classroom while we were all writing
the test.
3. Using ”when”: “When” is usually used when there are two
single actions that happen at the same time or one happens
right after another one. For example: I picked up the phone
when it rang. First, the phone rang, and then I immediately
picked up the phone. Look at the following examples:
a. We were studying when the lights went off.
b. When I get home, I take off my shoes.
c. I was sleeping when she called.
4. Review the chart at the top of page 29 as a class, then go
over the example below Look and Write to reinforce
understanding.
5. Instruct students to complete the exercise (1-3).
6. Check answers together as a class.

D.
1. Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses (also known as
adjective clauses). Relative clauses act as adjectives in a
sentence, and usually appear directly after nouns they
describe. Look at the following underlined relative clauses
with relative pronouns in bold:
a. I know a teacher who can help you.
b. There is the mountain that we are going to climb.
c. Do you know the student whose brother won a gold medal
in the Tokyo Olympics?
2. Looking at the examples (a-c), it is evident that the relative
pronoun is a kind of connecting word– it joins the
information in the relative clause to the noun phrase it
follows. The most common relative pronouns are: who,
whom, whose, which and that.
3. For the purpose of this lesson, only “whose” will be

12
addressed.
4. Using “whose”: “Whose” is usually used to indicate
possession by people, animals and things.
5. Furthermore, “whose” is used before nouns instead of
possessives (i.e., my, your, his, her, its, our, their, and x’s).
6. Consider the following two separate sentences: That’s the
woman. Her car got into an accident. By using “whose”, the
two sentences can be joined to make:
That’s the woman whose car got into an accident.
Note: The underlined relative clause describes the noun (i.e.,
woman) in the noun phrase (i.e., That’s the woman),
which is connected by the relative pronoun “whose”.
Also noticeable is the possessive “her” replaced by
“whose”, too.
7. Here are some further examples demonstrating relative
clauses with the relative pronoun “whose”.
a. I have a brother whose car is yellow.
b. I know a woman whose daughter lives in London.
c. Jack has a dog whose eyes are blue.
d. This is the boy whose mother works for Taiwan News.
e. She taught a student whose parents are from India.

dry and comfortable during games. The dimples on
soccer balls help them to be more stable when they
travel through the air. This improvement developed
after the 2010 World Cup in South Africa where
some goalkeepers criticised the balls for being
too flighty [unstable/irregular when the ball was
kicked] and hard to grip.)
