2. New lesson

Step 1 Lead in

Discuss the questions in “THINK ABOUT IT”

What is your favourite game? Why?

Do you like babies? Why or why not?

Today we are going to learn a dialogue. It happens on the train. Li Ming and his friends are doing different things. Let’s look at what they are doing.

Step 2 Listen to audiotape and answer the following questions:

What is the baby doing?

What are Wu Li and Jenny doing?

What is Danny doing?

Answer them with the students and discuss the text again. Deal with some important points at the same time. Make sure the students understand the meaning of the dialogue. When explaining the language points the teacher can use some pictures, write on the blackboard or on the slide projector.

Step 3 Listen to audiotape again and let the students read after it.

Step 4 Have them read the text aloud and correct their pronunciations when necessary. Then have them act out the dialogue in roles.

Step 5 Practice

Divide the class into small groups. Ask each group to make up a dialogue about offering and eating foods. When the students “eat,” some are quick and some are slow. The students need to be creative about situations where this would happen!

Step 6 Deal with “LET’S DO IT”

Play a word game in a small group. Cut some pieces of paper into 2cm squares. Try to make about 100 squares. On each piece of paper, write a letter of the alphabet. Then use the squares to make English words. Join the words together like a crossword.

Step 7 A test

Step 8 Summary

Today we learn a dialogue between Li Ming and his friends. They are on the train to Beijing. They are doing different things. Jenny and Wu Li are playing a word game. Danny is playing with a baby. So we must remember how to express what sb. is doing. After class you should practice the Present Continuous Tense.
