Kursinhalt

1. Presentation (8–10 minutes)

🎯 Lesson Goal

Students will learn how to describe and analyse charts in business contexts — meetings, reports, and presentations.

🧠 Lead-in (2–3 minutes)

Show a simple chart (e.g., sales growth over 4 quarters).
Ask:


“What do you see in this chart?”

  • “Is the trend going up or down?”

  • “What do you think caused the change?”

Introduce key terms:
📈 increase, rise, grow, go up
📉 decrease, fall, drop, go down
➡️ remain stable, stay the same, fluctuate

🗣️ Model Sentences (5 minutes)

TypeExample SentenceDescribing an increase “Sales increased slightly in March.” Describing a decrease “Profits fell sharply in July.” Describing no change “Revenue remained stable during the year.” Describing comparison “Sales in 2025 were higher than in 2024.” Explaining a reason “Sales rose due to strong marketing efforts.”

✅ Tips:

  • Use adverbs to show size of change: slightly, gradually, sharply, dramatically.

  • Use prepositions correctly: increase in sales, rise by 10%, fall to 200 units.

🧩 2. Practice (10 minutes)

🗂️ Controlled Practice (5 minutes)

Show a simple line chart (e.g., monthly website visitors).
Give short prompts and ask students to complete sentences:



  1. Website traffic ______ from January to March. (increased steadily)

  2. It ______ in April. (fell sharply)

  3. From May to June, it ______. (remained stable)

Drill pronunciation of key words (e.g., increased, decreased, remained).

📊 Guided Speaking Practice (5 minutes)

Show a bar chart (e.g., product sales for A, B, C).
Ask students:

  • “Which product sold the most?”

  • “Which one showed a decrease?”

  • “What’s your conclusion?”

Model example:

“Product A sales rose sharply, while Product B sales dropped slightly. Overall, total sales increased.”

💬 3. Production (7–8 minutes)

🎤 Task: Mini Presentation

Students work individually or in pairs.

Instructions:

  1. Choose one chart (teacher provides 2–3 simple options).

  2. Prepare a short (1–2 minute) talk describing it.

  3. Use at least 3 target phrases (increase, decrease, stable, etc.).

Example:

“This chart shows company profits from January to June.
Profits increased slightly in February and rose sharply in March.
However, there was a big drop in April before recovering in May.”

Teacher gives light feedback on pronunciation, structure, and accuracy.

🧠 4. Wrap-Up (2–3 minutes)

Ask:

  • “What words can we use to show an increase or decrease?”

  • “What adverbs describe how much change there is?”

  • “Why is it important to describe data clearly in business?”

✅ Homework (optional):
Find a simple chart online and write a short paragraph describing it using 5 of today’s phrases.
