2) A brief review of yesterday’s lesson

3) Duty report

T: Who’s on duty today? Introduce the weather to us today. And describe what clothes your classmates are wearing.

2. New lesson

Step 1: Lead in

(Show the photo of Wang Xiaoya)

T: You like her very much, yes? Me, too! Would you like to talk to her? We’ve learned how to interview someone. Imagine you’ve interviewed Wang Xiaoya. And then you are asked to introduce her to your class. Do you know what we want to know about her?

Guide the Ss to know the way of introducing someone with some questions:

1) Where does she live? (She works in CCTV, so she lives in Beijing.)

2) What does she do? (She a good hostess of “Quiz Show” on TV.)

3) What is she good at? (She is good at hosting.)

4) How is she doing her work? (She works very well. Others even learn from her and her program)

5) How do you like her? (She always smiles and I like her very much.)

Step 2: key point: introduce how to use Mr./Mrs./Ms correctly

(Show a photo of a family)

T: Look at this photo, please. It’s a photo of the famous host of Li Yong. Who is the lady besides him? Yes, his wife. And this little girl is their daughter. I can call Li Yong “Mr. Li”. Do you know what we can call his wife? Right! “Mrs. Li”. So what about his daughter?

(Let the Ss try to guess. Maybe some of them know the answer. Then guide them to be aware of the differences of the three words.)

T: Good, so let’s summarize the usage of the three words: We use “Mr.” before his family name. No matter he is married or not. But we only call a married woman “Mrs.” Right? Then what about a girl, an unmarried one? Yes. Very good. We call a girl “Miss”. We can call a lady “Ms.x” if we don’t know whether she is married or not.

Step 3: Discussion of questions in “Think About It!”

T: There are some questions for us to discuss on top of Page 8. Read them and think about it. You can discuss with you partners. Then take turns to speak for a introduction.

Step 4: Listen and useful information

T: Li Ming will talk on the tape. He also introduced a teacher, Ms. Liu. Listen for the first time and get the answer to this question: How long has Ms. Liu lived in Shijiazhuang? (For two years)

Step 5: Further study of the text

T: Read the text by yourselves, please, and try to get the information about Ms. Liu as much as possible. Ask me what you can’t understand.

Step 6: Discussion and understanding
