English for English Speakers Lesson 7: Making offer
1. Ask students if they have been in a plane. Ask them what a steward does (works on a
plane serving the passengers). Set the scene for the business class of an airliner on a
long distance flight. Ask students what needs/problems the passengers have (they are
thirsty, hungry, too hot/cold, bored etc.), and how the steward helps them. Introduce I’ll for
offers, and explain that using the full form (I will) would sound strange. Model the example
dialogue from the worksheet, e.g. Steward: Can I help you? Passenger: Yes, I’m a bit
cold. Steward: I’ll get you a blanket.
2. Put students in pairs/groups and give out the worksheets. Ask students to match the
problems/requests with the stewards’ offers. An example is given in the dialogue. Give
them five minutes to do this, then check the answers.
3. Write aisle and I’ll on the board. Check the students know what an aisle is. Point out that
the two words are are pronounced exactly the same, as the a and s in aisle are silent. Get
the class to practise saying I’ll/aisle, and then drill some of the offers on the worksheet.
4. Get students to practise the example dialogue in pairs, using different problems/offers.
5. If possible make an aisle, as on a plane, in the classroom, with students sitting on either
side. If not possible, try to arrange the class so that students can walk around the desks.
6. Appoint half the class as stewards and the rest as passengers. The stewards move from
passenger to passenger, listen to their requests/problems and make a suitable offer, as in
the example dialogue. The passengers can look at the worksheets if necessary, but the
stewards should make offers from memory.
