Pre-task preparation
1. Talk to the students about various places in their own city. Ask students questions such as:
Have you been to … yet, Mary?
To elicit: Yes, I have./ No, I haven’t.
2. Use a calendar to show the difference between already and just, showing that just is in the recent past and already could be any time in the past.
3. Play the recording: Read.
The students listen and follow in their books.
Play the recording again.
The students listen and repeat.
4. Ask:
Where has Winnie been in Garden City?
Has she been to North Country Park/ the Botanical Gardens yet?
To elicit:
Yes, she has already been there.
Yes, she has just been to the Botanical Gardens.
Ask: Has she been to Water World yet?
To elicit: No, she hasn’t been to Water World yet.
Encourage the students to use Winnie’s calendar to help them answer.
While-task procedure
1. Ask students to read the dialogue and the calendar in Read.
In pairs, the students pretend to be Winnie and Alice. They take turns to ask and answer about where Winnie has been in Garden City, following the modeled dialogue at the bottom of page 34.
They use Winnie’s calendar to find out where Winnie has already/just been to or not yet been to or not yet been to.
2. Invite different pairs to ask and answer in front of the class.

后记：
本课最难的地方在于几个时间副词just already yet 的用法，这必须要学生在习（practice）中学，习中用，这样才会有的放矢。
