Absolutely, let's adjust the scenario accordingly.

For a one-on-one setup, the "Expression Storytelling" activity can be a

collaborative effort between the teacher and the student. Instead of creating a
story in isolation, the teacher and the student can build a story together, taking
turns adding sentences that incorporate the phrases.

Everyday Useful Phrases:

1. Could you help me with...? - Asking for assistance.
2. I'm looking forward to... - Expressing anticipation.
3. It slipped my mind. - Forgetting something.
4. Just a second. - Asking for a brief pause.
5. That sounds great. - Showing agreement or enthusiasm.
6. Let's catch up. - Suggesting to talk and update each other.
7. What do you think about...? - Asking for an opinion.
8. Sorry, I'm running late. - Informing about a delay.
9. Can you say that again? - Asking for clarification.
10. I'm not sure about that. - Expressing uncertainty.

Detailed One-on-One Activity: Expression Storytelling

Objective: For the student to use target everyday phrases in a creative story,
ensuring they understand the meaning and context of each phrase.

Materials: List of everyday phrases, writing materials or a shared document for

online classes.

Setup:
1. Share the list of target phrases with the student.
2. Explain that together, you'll be creating a short story where you both will take
turns adding sentences, trying to incorporate the given phrases as naturally as
possible.

Activity:
1. Start the story with a sentence using one of the phrases. For instance: "I
received an email from an old friend saying, 'Let's catch up.'"
2. The student then continues the story, trying to use another phrase: "I replied,
'That sounds great!' and we decided to meet at a café the next day."
3. Take turns building the story, weaving in the everyday phrases from the list.
4. As the story progresses, encourage the student to steer the narrative, ensuring
they get ample practice.

Debrief:
1. Discuss the story. Praise the student's use of the phrases and provide feedback
on any adjustments or improvements.
2. If any phrases were left unused, challenge the student to create standalone
sentences with them or find a way to add them into the story as a continuation.

This collaborative exercise not only allows the student to practice the phrases in
context but also strengthens their ability to create narratives in English. The
active involvement of the teacher serves as a model and a support, making the
student more comfortable in experimenting with language.
