Warm up
T shows the picture of Nicole from the lead in activity and tell Ss that
they are going to read the two short texts about her life as it really is
and her dreams. Pass the activity around the class and ask Ss to start
reading.
Ask Ss what tense is used in the first text? Why? The answer is the
Present Simple because it talks about everyday life.
Ask Ss to read the dream text again and complete the text with the
words in the box.
Elicit the answers in open class.
5mins T-ss

Presentation
- T checks Ss understand the use of the second conditional in the
context by asking:
What would Nicola like to be? Is she a princess? Is it probable
that she will be a princess?
- Use the questions to establish that she is dreaming about being
a princess, it is not real and not probable, unlike the first text.
- Ask Ss to read the dream text more carefully and then, in pairs,
they are to compare the verb forms in the two texts.
- T plays the recording and Ss listen and check their answers. The
recording is used to drill the target structure. Play and pause
after each sentence and ask individuals to repeat.
- To elicit the rule of the second conditional, go through the
questions with the whole class:
20mins T-ss
- What tense describes Nicolas life?
Answer: the Present Simple
When she said, If I lived in a palace. Does she live in a
palace? What tense is lived?
. Id have servants Is this a dream or reality?
Now together with Ss elicit the rule:
The unreal conditional clause is formed with if+the Past Simple
tense. In the result clause, we use the auxiliary verb would+the
infinitive without to. Would is often reduced to d.
Practice:
1. Give Exercise 1. Ask Ss to do this orally in pairs.
2. Exercise 2: ask Ss to do this on their own and then compare with
a partner. Check the exercise with the whole class.
