Learning Objective: At the end of the session, the students are expected to be able to identify the difference between "Do you like...?" and "Would you like...?" expressions.



Do you know the difference/s between these two questions?

How you ever wondered how to use them or, at least, if you are using them properly in a conversation?

Well, so much for those questions because this time we will discover the secret behind these questions.

Dialogue 1

Waiter: Hello, Can I help you?

Kim: Yes, I'd like to have some lunch.

Waiter: Would you like a starter?

Kim: Yes, I'd like a bowl of chicken soup, please.

Waiter: And what would you like for a main course?

Kim: I'd like a grilled cheese sandwich.

Waiter: Would you like anything to drink?

Kim: Yes, I'd like a glass of Coke, please.

...........................(After Kim has her lunch.)...........

Waiter: Can I bring you anything else?

Kim: No thank you. Just the bill.

Waiter: Certainly.

Kim:I don't have my glasses. How much is the lunch?

Waiter: That's $6.75.

Kim: Here you are. Thank you very much.

Waiter: You're welcome. Have a good day.

Kim: Thank you, the same to you.



Dialogue 2

David: Hi Jonathan. What are you doing?

Jonathan: I'm reading this latest volume of the Harry Potter series.

David: Really! I didn't know you like reading a book.

Jonathan: I began to like it since I've read the first one.

David: So, do you like the story or you just like the writing style J.K. Rowling?

Jonathan: Both.

David: So, aside from fictions, do you also like to read love stories and novels?

Jonathan: Perhaps.



Based on the dialogues, what do you think is/are the difference/s between "Would you like.." and "Do you like..."


Discussion Proper

Exercise: The teacher will pair the participants. Each pair will try to use any of the two expressions included in this lesson by making their own dialogues.
