⏱️ 50-minute lesson plan
1. Warm-up (5 min)
Check last homework. Ask the warm-up questions to relax.
- Have you ever been abroad?
- What's the most unusual food you've eaten?
2. Input (10 min)
Introduce the key phrases one by one. The student repeats each 3 times; check meaning (short Japanese is OK).
3. Practice (15 min)
Run the unit's practice activity. Maximize student talking time.
'Find someone who…' style: the student asks 8 'Have you ever…?' questions and follows up with past-tense questions.
4. Role-play (10 min)
Tutor plays the other person. Praise when the key phrases are used; fix only 2 things afterwards.
🎭 A job interview question: 'Tell me about something challenging you've done.'

- What's something you've always wanted to try?
- Have you ever met someone famous?
