Descrizioni
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)
✅ 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:

-
Website traffic ______ from January to March. (increased steadily)
-
It ______ in April. (fell sharply)
-
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:
-
Choose one chart (teacher provides 2–3 simple options).

Example:
“This chart shows company profits from January to June.
Profits increased slightly in February and rose sharply in March.

Teacher gives light feedback on pronunciation, structure, and accuracy.
🧠 4. Wrap-Up (2–3 minutes)
