What did you send them?

Did you express your thanks to our parents?

Step 2. Come to ‘THINK ABOUT IT”

Discuss the first question. “What do you write in your card?” Write their answers down and change their ideas with the others.

Step 3. Play the tape. Ask the students to listen to it with the questions: What presents are Jenny and Danny going to post to Li Ming?

Step 4. Read the text silently. Then discuss the text in details.

Step 5. Take out what you prepared before class. Make cards for your friends in groups and then write the addresses on them.

Remind the students not to forget the best wishes in English.

Show every group’s cards to the class and let them see if they forget something.

Step 6. Ask the students to work in pairs to make up a dialogue according to the story. Act the dialogue out in front of the class.
