All right, good afternoon everyone.
Good afternoon.

Good.
Good, good. All right, so you remember William’s lesson, right? Hopefully. Talking about presents, yeah? We're going to talk about presents some more today. So, here, let me just move this up a little bit. More presents, okay? So in William’s lesson you talked in your group about when you get presents, right? Yeah, all right, we're going to think about that a little more. I want you to think about when you get presents, but also when you buy presents, or when you give presents to other people. Okay? All right. So you've already talked about this. Does anyone have any good ideas of when you buy presents?
Receive.
Pardon?
Receive.
Ah okay. Receive, you said? Yeah, hold that thought. Good, but what time? When?
Birthday.
Okay good.
Merry Christmas.
Ah yes, yes. Those are the big ones, huh?
Valentine’s Day.
Ah right, okay, good, so we've got birthdays, Christmas, yeah lots of presents at Christmas, right? Valentine's Day. Okay, good, let's get some more. Any others?
New Year’s Day.
Ah, right, New Year's. Okay. So let's see, Hong you’re from Vietnam right?
Yes.
Yeah, so in Vietnam you get presents at New Year's? Okay, right. Does anyone else buy presents at New Year's. No, only Vietnam? Yeah, okay. These might be different from country to country. But yeah, good, I'll put that up. Yeah I--I don't buy any presents during New Year's, but some--some countries do, right? Yeah, okay, good, good. Any others?
Yeah.
Oh yeah?
Mother’s Day. Father’s Day.
Okay, good. Yes, those are important. Right. Mother's Day, Father's Day.
Marriage Birthday.
Pardon?
Marriage Birthday. Married Birthday.
Ah right, right, the--the--the marriage birthday. Good, good. We have a special word for that in English. Does anyone know?
Anniversary.
Yeah, good, okay good, so the marriage birthday is, you call that the anniversary. Yeah. And actually instead of marriage, I'll put wedding. Anniversary. Okay, good, good. So that, yeah, the marriage birthday, wedding anniversary. But yeah, that--that's good. And is that--is that the same in all the countries? Do you have to buy presents for the wedding anniversary? Yeah? Okay, good. Any others?
The day with the chocolate rabbit.

Easter.
Okay, good. Easter. Alright, good, I think we have enough to start off with. So, all of these things, right, they're all special days. What do we call them? Yeah? No?
Say holiday.
Ah yes, okay, yeah, good some of these are holidays, right? Easter is a holiday, Christmas is a holiday. Yeah. On some of these, like a wedding anniversary or a birthday, aren't holidays or they're not holidays for everyone at the same time. But we do have a word, it starts with an “O”. A special… No? A special occasion. Right. An occasion is a special day or a special event like a wedding or a birthday or a holiday where you buy gifts for somebody. All right. Now, in my case, the last time I bought a gift was for Mother's Day. Right. I bought my mother a gift. What do you think I bought? What's a good gift for a mother?
Money.
Money? For your mother? Really? Yeah? That might have been a good idea. I didn't think of that. I got her something else.
Clothes.
Okay. Good.

Paraform? Ah, perfume, yes, sorry, yes, perfume, yes, that's a good idea. Good. Clothes is good. You said ring, right? Good. Ring is good. Do you remember from William’s lesson, what is a ring?
Bracelet.
Okay, there--there's a word that would cover all of that, right?
Jewelry.
Okay, good. Jewelry, right? So I got my mother jewelry for Mother's Day. It ah... I went down to the shopping mall. It cost about 25 dollars. Oh, and I also got her one of these. Okay, yeah, good, good. I--I--I got a card for the present, right? I wrote, “Dear Mother, I love you very much, signed Joel” And... it was a very nice card and I sent the card and the jewelry and she liked it very much. All right. So, I gave my mother…

Okay. Reals? Okay, all right, good. Well, today we're going to look at a boy named Eddie. Yeah, he--yeah, his name is Eddie. He's from England. Has anyone ever been to England? No? Never? Okay, well, what kind of money?
Pounds.
Okay, good, good in England they use the pound, right? It looks like this. Yeah, at least on a word processor it looks like this. This is the word processing symbol for pound, right? How much is a pound? One pound.
2 dollars.
Yeah, two--two dollars? Yeah, about, yes. According to the Internet, it said one pound in Australian dollars is about 1.68 Australian dollars. Okay. All right, good. So Eddie is going to talk about the last time he bought a present, and we're going to listen to the story and I've got some questions for you. I'll hand these out. Here you go. So this-- this is about the last time Eddie bought a present. Here you go. All right so, first question, number one, who was the present for? You have either his friend, right? Or his sister. I'm going to play the CD. I want you to listen, and when you hear the answer yell out…
Stop.
Okay, good, good, yell out stop. All right. Um… and ah...one minute. Let’s see, this was working a minute ago.
Track 31. Big.
Track 32. The last present I bought was from my sister. It was her birthday.
Stop.
Okay. That was pretty quick, wasn't it? All right, so who was the present for?
Sister.
Okay, good, so you got the sheet, you can circle sister, right? It's a present for his sister. All right, good. So we have eight more questions. What was the occasion?
Birthday.
Oh right, yes you already heard that one, huh? Okay. Good, well if you got that you can circle it. Next, number three, where did he go shopping for the present? Did he know what he was going to buy? What did he buy in the end? How much did he spend? Did he buy a card too? Did the person like the present? Person is the sister, right? And was it the sort of present he would like to receive? All right, so, going to play this again, listen and see if you can circle the answers.
Track 32. The last present I bought was for my sister. It was her birthday. In fact, it was her 30th birthday. Thirty isn't very old, but she was quite upset. She liked being in her 20s, and she thought 30 was really old. Anyway, I didn't know what to get her, so I went on the Internet to find something. I didn't have any ideas, but I wanted something special. Eventually I found a really good present. I thought it was unusual and just perfect for her. It was a foot spa. My sister's a teacher, and she stands up all day, so a foot spa is great for relaxing in the evening. It was expensive--about 50 pounds. But she's my sister and 30 is a special birthday. I bought a lovely card, and wrote a funny message in it. I put, “Now you’re 30, you're too old to die young. On her birthday, I gave her the present, but unfortunately she didn't like it at all. She said that a foot spa is a good present for a grandmother, not for a young woman. I was really surprised! I’d love a foot spa. And then when she read the card she cried. What a disaster!
Okay, good, now I want you to check your answers with the people at your table. Okay? So you can check your answers together, make sure you've got the same answers, or you can talk about the answers. Check together.
Ah sorry, excuse me
Yep.
Just one thing. What is a foot spa?
Ah, yes.
It’s the only thing I don’t understand.
That's a good question. We'll get to that. Yeah.
Sorry.
All set over here? Okay, good, let's come back here. We'll go over these together. Number one we already did, right? It was his…
Sister.
Sister. Good, okay good. Number two was…
Birthday.
... good it was for her birthday. Good. By the way, how old was she?
30
Right, it was her 30th birthday, right? She was thirty. Good. What do you think? Is thirty old? Young?
Old.
Old?
Thirty is not old.
Yeah, yeah. It’s not too old, is it? Yeah. No, I agree. Good, all right, good. Um, number three, where did he go shopping for the present?
On the Internet.
Okay, good on the Internet. Has anyone ever done any shopping on the Internet?
Yes.
Yeah? What--what did you buy?
Second book. Books.
Oh right, second hand books. Yeah old books. Yeah, Yeah, okay, good. Has anyone else ever bought books on the Internet. Yeah? Yeah, me too. Yeah I always buy books on the Internet. Yeah, it's very cheap that way, huh? All right, good. Number four, did he know what he was going to buy?
No, he didn’t.
Okay, good, no, he didn't. All right, number five, what did he buy in the end?
A foot spa.
A foot spa, good. What is a foot spa?
A foot spa.
Okay good, that's right, but what is it? Does anyone know?
A foot spa like a foot massage.
O-okay good. And you had the same thing, right?
Maybe, a foot massage. Like a foot massage.
Okay, okay. Good, good, exactly. Right? Did you hear that?
Oh yes, foot massage.
Right, right, so it's got hot water…
Because the spa in Italy is different. It’s a society for um, oh I don’t know how to say, but it’s a term for an association, or society, something with economy, something… it’s different, sorry.
Right, right, okay, yes, so you’re thinking foot spa, what… yeah, okay. Good, no they--they've got it. In fact I've got a picture here of a foot spa. Yeah. Yeah, what do you think? Is this a nice gift? Would you like to receive this?
No.
No? Wh-- why not? Why?
Old men.
Ah, it’s for old men. Well, yeah, maybe, but it would still feel nice, right?
Yeah, but I don’t need it.
Yeah. I'd like it, but ah… alright. Alright, good number six, how much did he spend?
fifty pounds.
Good, fifty pounds. What do you think? Is that cheap? Expensive?
Expensive.
Yeah, a little bit expensive, huh? Yeah, all right, good. Did he buy a card too?
Yes, he did.
Okay, good, yes, he did. Did he write a message in the card?
Yes.
Yeah. What--what did he write?
Now your old.
Okay, yeah, it was along the lines of you--you are old, right? It was--I think you are too old to die young. All right, good, um, so yes for seven. Number eight, did his sister like the present?
No, she didn’t.
Okay, good, no. why not?
She said that foot spa just for old woman.
Okay, good, good, good. She thought the foot spa was just for old people. Good. What about Eddie?
Yes.
Was-- was it the sort of present he would like to receive? Okay, good, yes it was. All right, great, well, next we're going to-- going to give you a sheet. Now these are the same questions, but this time it's your turn. I want you to think about the last present that you bought for somebody, okay? And who was the present for, what was the occasion, where did you buy the present, did you know what you wanted, did they like it, right? So think about yourself the last time you bought a present, and answer these questions.
All right, good, I think everyone's just about finished. All right, next you're going to talk to a partner and you're going to ask them these questions, and maybe write down their answers. Ok? So let's see, can you two work together? And, let’s see, can you two work together? And Lilian would you mind working with Karen? Yeah? And then you two, and then... is three okay? Okay, good. So, go through these questions, the same questions, and then ask your partner what their answers to these questions are, okay? So, here you go. Here you go. Here you go. Okay. Oh, an extra. Thanks. Okay, good, so this is a speaking activity. You can talk. So, okay, ask each other.
Alright, yeah, good.
Graduation day.
Okay, good, good, yeah. In fact, you probably don’t even need the day here, you can just say “graduation”. Um… anniversary? Well, it was just one time, right? Yeah, an anniversary is like..
When moving every year
Yeah, when every year, like she said, like it’s almost like a marriage birthday, you remember the date.
