Ways to Ask How Someone Is

1. Warm-up Activity (Engagement)

Objective: Activate prior knowledge and get students engaged.

• Greet Students: Start by saying, "Hello! How are you today?" and encourage responses.
• Think-Pair-Share: Ask students to discuss with a partner:
  "How do people ask about someone's well-being?"
• Write on Board: Note responses like "How are you?", "How's it going?", etc.

2. Explanation (Basic Understanding)

Introduce different ways to ask how someone is, along with responses:

Formal	Neutral	Informal
How are you?	How’s it going?	What’s up?
How do you do?	How are things?	How’s life?
How have you been?	How are you doing?	How’s everything?

• Provide possible responses:
  • "I’m fine, thank you!"
  • "Not bad."
  • "I’m great!"
  • "So-so."

3. Interactive Activities (Practice)

A. Role-Play (Pair Work)

1. Give students role cards with different scenarios (e.g., meeting a new friend, talking to a teacher, chatting with a colleague).
2. One student asks, the other responds, then switch roles.

B. Question Relay (Group Activity)

1. Students sit in a circle.
2. The first student asks the person next to them a question (e.g., "How are you?").
3. The second student answers and asks the next student using a different question.
4. Continue until everyone has participated.

C. Matching Game

• Provide cut-out phrases (e.g., "How's it going?" / "I'm doing well.").
• Students must match questions with appropriate responses.

D. Real-life Simulation

• Assign students a scenario (e.g., meeting a teacher, casual talk with a friend).
• They must use different expressions naturally.

4. Wrap-up (Reflection & Recap)

• Quick Fire Round: Call on students randomly and ask, "How can you ask someone about their well-being?"
• Exit Ticket: Each student writes one question and one response before leaving.
