1. 1. Warm-up (5 min)

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

   • Have you ever negotiated a price?
   • Are you good at saying no?

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.

   Teach offer / counter-offer / condition ('If you…, we can…'). Two quick negotiations: a used bike, then a project deadline.

4. 4. Role-play (10 min)

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