Hello Learner,

It’s another new day!

 What’s New?

I am marvelous!

I want you to sing this song with me.

I will be glad if you learn the chorus.

 
TOP OF THE WORLD
Such a feelin’s comin’ over meThere is wonder in most everything I seeNot a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyesAnd I won’t be surprised if it’s a dream
Everything I want the world to beIs now comin’ true, especially for meAnd the reason is clear, it’s because you are hereYou’re the nearest thing to heaven that I’ve seen
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creationAnd the only explanation I can findIs the love that I’ve found, ever since you’ve been aroundYour love’s put me at the top of the world
Something in the wind has learned my nameAnd it’s tellin’ me that things are not the sameIn the leaves on the trees, and the touch of the breezeThere’s a pleasing sense of happiness for me
There is only one wish on my mindWhen this day is through I hope that I will findThat tomorrow will be, just the same for you and meAll I need will be mine if you are here
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creationAnd the only explanation I can findIs the love that I’ve found, ever since you’ve been aroundYour love’s put me at the top of the world
I’m on the top of the world lookin’ down on creationAnd the only explanation I can findIs the love that I’ve found, ever since you’ve been aroundYour love’s put me at the top of the world
 
 
Do you remember semantics mapping? We did it in Basic  7.
 Semantic mapping will guide us to find meanings in the critical vocabulary of this lesson.
 

Semantic mapping is like the image above.

 

 

Let us use the following:

Law Court: a) Types of law courts

b) personnel (officially)

c) Various offenses and crimes

Dear Learner by the end of this lesson, you should be able to use the appropriate register in your everyday communication 

Let’s see if we can Identify the formal situations in the videos below. Just use the link!

Did you identify formal situations in the video link embedded?

If yes, then Bravo!

Now let us Identify formal situations. E.g. interactions between strangers on varied themes, announcements, standards for work, school and public offices, and business settings. 

 

 

 

Now share your experience at the bank with your friends using appropriate language. 

I will be happy if you participate in formal interactions. (No slang/jargon).

 

 Now let us identify informal conversations: E.g. casual or intimate relationships between friends and acquaintances, family and teammates, different situations in the classroom, etc. 

 

 

 

 

Now, let us use appropriate language to participate in conversations in the following situations: Greetings, requests, encouragements, partings, etc. 

 

NB: Examples of informal language include; slang words, jargon, contracted forms, and non-verbal communication

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Assessment 

Role-play scenarios ( Market scene, Bank scene) using formal language on themes of their choice. I will be happy if you give me feedback.

 

What have you learned today?
