    Note:        1. Address question “How are you?” to one pupil at a time.
                 2. If the question “How are you?” is directed to several pupils in
                 succession, the tonic syllable changes:
                 e.g. - How are you, Bill?
                      - And how are you, Alison?

    Teach appropriate replies:
           ( I’m ) very well, thank you.
           ( I’m ) fine, thanks.
           ( I’m ) not too bad, thanks.
           Fine, thanks. How about you?

    Note:        1. The most frequent form of direct suggestion involves the use of let’s.
                 e.g. Let’s start now.
                      Let’s finish this off next time.
                 “ Let us” is archaic and should not be used.
                 2.There are two alternative forms of the negative.
                 e.g. Let’s not waste any more time.
                      Don’t let’s bother with number 10.
                 3. This form of suggestion is very often accompanied by the tag ending
                 shall we? Notice that the tag is the same for positive and negative forms.
                 e.g. Let’s try the next exercise as well, shall we?
                      Let’s not listen to it again, shall we?
                      Don’t let’s do all of exercise 5, shall we?
