LET'S LEARN ENGLISH - LEVEL 2
Say, “In this lesson, we will watch Anna and Pete go to see a movie. Anna loves movies. Pete invites her to see one with him. Today, you will learn about using indirect questions to ask for something politely or correct someone who is not following rules.”
Ask students if they have ever been to a movie theater. If they have not, ask them to think of a place where they must stay quiet and show polite behavior. If the expected behavior in movie theaters in your students’ country is different from in the U.S., explain that American movie-goers are supposed to sit quietly in the theater. Food is sold in the theater and the theater owners do not want people to bring in their own snacks.
