What do you hope your birthday party will be like?

Can you make a plan for your birthday party? What is it?

Step3.Now it’s time to focus on the presents. Get the students to discuss:

Have you got any presents?

How did you feel when you got a nice present?

What did you do with it?

Step4. Listen to the tape and answer the following questions:

Why did Li Ming so excited?

What is Brian doing in the picture? Are they satisfied with the yellow jacket?

What did they buy at last?

Step5. Read the text and check the answers. Then let the students read it loudly in class. After the students read the text fluently, the teacher can arrange them to read in roles.

Step6.Act the dialogue out in front of the class, encourage them to be bold and remember to provide changes to the shy students.

Step7.Practise: organize activities. Suppose your mother’s birthday is coming, what do you want to buy for her? Why? You are talking about this. Make a dialogue and write it down.

Now divide the class into several groups. Then discuss whose plan is the best?

Step8.Come to “LET’S DO IT”. This part is similar to what we have done in Step7. So dealing with this part is easy now.

Step9. Finish off the Activity Book.

When the students have difficulties in solving problems, they can refer to the text.

Step10.Let the students finish the next reading in the student book.

Summary

1.In order to make the class alive, we must prepare more objects before the class. The students can bring jackets in different colours and styles.

Describing the birthday party is what the students like to do. Give them time and chance to do so
