Aims:
- To identify the problem consonant 'r' : when it is silent and when it is not.
-To recognize and pronounce the models of obligation 'have to', 'has to', 'had to'.

PROCEDURE

A- Warm up:
-Look at this word: Wednesday
-Who can spell it for me?
* w- e- d- n- e- s- d- a- y
-Who can say it for me?
*
- Where is the letter 'd'?
* We write it but we don't pronounce it.
So, 'd' is a silent letter like letter 'r' in bird.

Task one p.27: Read the dialogue 02 and underline the word where letter 'r' is silent
A: I'm sorry to hear that Irma is sick.
2/
B: I really appreciate how you feel about it.
- Now, listen to your teacher and raise hands each time you hear sound 'r'.
- Now, listen again and put a cross on letter 'r' when it is silent .
* hear Irma
- Look at the word where 'r' is pronounced. What is the letter that follows it?
* Letter 'y' in sorry , 'ea' in really , 'e' in appreciate.
- What are these letters (y – ea – e)?
* These are vowels.
- Do the same thing with words where 'r' is silent.
* 'r' is final in hear , 'm' in Irma
- What is the letter 'm'?
* It is a consonant .
- So, Who can draw the rule for the pronunciation of sound 'r' for me?
Start like this:

*The letter 'r' is silent when :

'r' is followed by a consonant.
'r' is final in a word.
-Now look at the 1st dialogue and apply the rule you've just drawn. Put a cross on silent
'r's.
A: I'm afraid the doctor isn't here at the moment.

 1/
B: Sorry, I don't understand. Can you speak more slowly, please?

-Notice that: in 'here' and in 'more' 'e' is not counted as a vowel / //

so 'r' is final in these words.
- what do you notice?
* 'r' in 'doctor' is final but it is pronounced.
* 'r' in 'here' is final but it is pronounced.
- What is the 1st letter of the word that follows : 'doctor' 'here'?
* doctor isn't here at the two letters are vowels.
-Now, who can draw the rule again including this exception?
Start it like this:
*The letter 'r' is silent when:
'r' is followed by a consonant.
'r' is final and not followed by a word starting with a vowel.
-Read dialogue three and put a cross on 'r' when it is silent.
