1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

   Check last homework. Ask the warm-up questions to relax.

   • What did you do at work or school today?
   • Do you like your schedule?

2. 2. Input (10 min)

   Introduce the key phrases one by one. The student repeats each 3 times; check meaning (short Japanese is OK).

3. 3. Practice (15 min)

   Run the unit's practice activity. Maximize student talking time.

   The student explains their job or major to someone who knows nothing about it; the tutor asks 'why?' and 'how?'.

4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

   Tutor plays the other person. Praise when the key phrases are used; fix only 2 things afterwards.
