Need to

Step 1: Introduction to "Need to"

Concept: Explain that "Need to" is used to talk about things that are necessary or required.

Example:

  • I need to study for my exam. (It is necessary for me to study.)
  • She needs to wake up early. (It is important for her to wake up early.)

Interactive Activity:

  • Show two pictures: One of a student with books, another of a messy room. Ask, "What does he/she need to do?"
  • Encourage students to respond:
    • "He needs to study."
    • "She needs to clean her room."

Step 2: Question-Answer Practice

Pattern:
Do you need to [verb]?
Yes, I need to [verb] / No, I don’t need to [verb].

Interactive Activity:
👥 Pair Work:

  • Partner A asks: "Do you need to exercise every day?"
  • Partner B responds: "Yes, I need to exercise." or "No, I don’t need to exercise."
  • Rotate partners and repeat with different topics.

Step 3: Sentence Building with Prompts

Give prompts & students complete the sentence:

  • "I need to _______ before going to bed."
  • "She needs to _______ before an interview."
  • "They need to _______ to stay healthy."

Interactive Activity:
📝 Pass the Sentence

  • Start a sentence: "To be a good student, I need to..."
  • Each student adds one necessity and passes it along:
    • "I need to study."
    • "I need to sleep early."
    • "I need to finish homework."

Step 4: Role-Playing Real-Life Situations

🎭 Situation 1:
📌 Doctor-Patient Role Play

  • Patient: "I have a headache."
  • Doctor: "You need to take medicine and rest."

🎭 Situation 2:
📌 Job Interview Advice

  • Interviewer: "How can I prepare for an interview?"
  • Student: "You need to dress well and be confident."

Step 5: Fun Challenge - "What do I need to do?"

🧩 Game:

  1. Write different situations on slips of paper (e.g., "I have an exam tomorrow.")
  2. A student picks a slip, reads it aloud, and asks the class, "What do I need to do?"
  3. The class responds with suggestions using "You need to..."
    • "You need to study hard."
    • "You need to sleep early."

💡 Wrap-Up & Homework:
