-Read through the rule at the top of the box with the Ss and ask: Does Jeanne Calmet used to ride a bicycle refer to a habit or a situation? (habit)

Write an example of a situation on the board, e.g. I used to live in a big house. Ask Ss to turn to the Reference on p57 and ask: Does the form of used to change with he or she? (No)

Lesson stage: Practice

Aim: To provide Ss with restricted practice in target language.

Procedure: p.55ex6b

-Ask various Ss to tell you the examples and write them on the board.

Lesson stage: Listening

Aim: To provide Ss with practice in listening for gist. To provide Ss with practice in listening for detail.

Procedure: p.55ex10

-Focus on the topics in the box and tell Ss to listen to a man talking about his childhood.

-Play the recording and get them to answer the questions. Let them compare with a partner and then elicit the answers from the class.

(Answers  1 He mentions holidays, pets and playing with friends ( a sport, football, is also mentioned in the context of playing with friends, but this is not the main topic).      2 The story about the dog is false.)

— Play the recording again and ask the Ss to note down any extra information the man gives about the three topics and the questions the woman asks at the end  to discover the false story. Let them compare with a partner and then get feedback from the whole class.

Lesson stage: Follow-up (speaking)

Aim: To personalize topic for Ss. To practice skills.

Procedure: p.55ex11

-Give the Ss a little time to think about their statements and then put them in pairs to tell each other the three things. The listener has to guess which one is false. Encourage them to ask each other questions, as in the listening, to guess the false statement.

If time  —  (Optional variation  — — Put the Ss in groups of three and tell them that each one has to prepare a short story, using used to, about their childhood. In each group, two Ss should tell a true story and one a false one. Give them time to prepare this and to decide whose story will be false. Each group then tells their three stories to the rest of the class. The other group can ask questions and must finally guess which student is lying.

Optional extension — Divide the class into 5 groups and give one of the following categories to each group: pets, food, holidays, sports, school. Each group has to think of two questions for their category, e.g. Pets: Did you use to have a dog? Did you use to have a cat? Food: Did you use to like vegetables? Did you use to eat in restaurants?

When they have written their questions, Ss mingle and interview the other Ss in the class. Then they go back to their original group, compare results and present the final results to the rest of the class, e.g. Four Ss used to have a cat, three Ss used to have a dog and seven Ss didn`t  use to have a pet.)
