Lesson\/Unit Summary: <\/strong>The lesson aims at developing students\u2019 awareness of the verb patterns associated with gerunds and to-infinitives. Online dictionaries provide resources for learners to discover the verb combinations. A series of animations describing people\u2019s experiences are shown to help learners master the usage of the target verbs \u201cremember\u201d, \u201cforget\u201d, \u201cregret\u201d and \u201cstop\u201d. YouTube videos are also used to maintain learner interest. The final writing activity on \u201cThe Most Unforgettable Moment\u201d allows students to use the target verb patterns to describe their own life experiences. The extended task, which requires students to conduct research on mental\/physical illnesses, provides further opportunities for students to use the target language to describe real-life experiences.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
