Summary of "MKU UNP Unit 4 Whose are these Clothes?"
Overview
This lesson (Unit 4: “Whose are these Clothes?”) introduces clothing vocabulary, pronunciation practice, grammar for possession and “have/has (got),” descriptions of physical appearance, and integrated skills (listening, reading, speaking, writing). Students are repeatedly instructed to listen to specific audio tracks and complete textbook page activities.
Main ideas, concepts and lessons
1. Vocabulary — clothes
Words to learn and memorize:
- socks, shorts, shirt, T‑shirt, coat, skirt, dress, suit, trousers, jeans, jacket, jumper Students are instructed to listen to audio 22 and repeat/memorize these words.
2. Conversation practice
- Dialogue (audio 22, page ~26) involves Peter and Judi (with references to Frank, Nancy, Mary) at a hotel; a suitcase mix‑up leads to wrong clothes being worn to a sister’s birthday party.
- Tasks: read the conversation, answer comprehension questions, and practice oral responses.
3. Pronunciation
- Focus: distinguishing vowel sounds (example: “you” vs. “good” — long vs. short /u/ sounds).
- Tasks: listen to models, repeat, analyze minimal pairs, and mark/check words that demonstrate each sound.
4. Grammar — have / have got and third person
- Use with I/you/we/they (and plural names): use “have” or “have got”.
- Example: “I have got an A.”
- Negatives: insert “not” (I have not / I haven’t).
- Questions: invert auxiliary (Have they got a new car?).
- Short answers: “Yes, they have.” / “No, they haven’t.”
- Third person singular (he/she/name):
- Use “has” or “has got”: e.g., “He has blue eyes.”
- Negatives: “He hasn’t got…” or “He does not have…”
- Practice includes full and contracted forms (hasn’t, haven’t).
Example forms: - “Have they got a new car?” - “He has blue eyes.” / “He hasn’t got blue eyes.”
5. Possession — ‘s and “whose”
- Use ’s after a name to show ownership (John’s jumper = John’s jumper).
- To ask about ownership use “Whose…?” and answer with “It’s John’s” or “It’s not John’s“.
- Dialogue and exercises use ’s and “whose” to check understanding.
Example: - “Whose jumper is this?” - “It’s John’s.”
6. Physical appearance — vocabulary and descriptions
Adjectives and phrases used to describe appearance include:
- chubby, old, short hair, fair hair, young, long hair, slim, dark hair, short, handsome, blue eyes Students practice identifying people by physical features (e.g., hair, eyes, height).
7. Integrated skills activities (listening / reading / speaking / writing)
- Listening:
- Audio 24/25: identify which person (A/B/C) matches a description.
